Balkan Bisztró
Balkán Bisztró
Balkan charcoal-grill spot on Ferencesek Street, where the ćevapčići served with house-made ajvar are a local favorite in Pécs.
Located on Ferencesek Street on the west side of the Old Town, this restaurant reflects Pécs' food culture, which has been strongly shaped by neighboring former Yugoslav countries. It ranks among Pécs' top places on Tripadvisor and has a Google rating of about 4.7. Dishes are made with carefully selected local ingredients and grilled over charcoal: ćevapčići, pljeskavica (with optional goat cheese for the gourmet version), kofta, and Karađorđe-style breaded pork rolls with ham and cheese, served with mashed potatoes. Meals end with walnut pastry and Bosnian coffee. Portions are generous and good value. There are vegetarian options, and dogs are welcome. Dishes are grilled to order, so service can be a little slow. The restaurant is open for dinner only Tuesday to Thursday, opens at midday on weekends, and has indoor seating as well as a small garden.
