Restaurants
Imola Udvarház
Dã³zsa gyã¶rgy tã©r 4. (http://www.imolanet.hu/ud...) near the castle gate. in 2009 it was selected as one of the top 12 restaurants in hungary. a good selection of wines from eger and tokaj wine regions. mains 1600-3000 huf
Gyros
They serve a mix of Hungarian and Greek cuisine. Although its not very expensive, the food is not great but not too bad, rather oily, but portions are quite big.
Senator Ház
Decent place to eat if you stay near Dobó tér. Owned and managed by the same people as Senator Ház hotel. Before 11am, part of the restaurant is used for breakfast for guests staying at Senator Ház hotel. During the daytime, it attracts many non-residents even in winter time.
Palacsintavar
All main dishes are served in pancakes, are mostly around 2000 Ft, and are very large. Good selection of wines. Regulars seem to come here for desserts--and look really enthusiastic about them. Artistic interior feels like inspired by Andy Warhol. Located a bit off the beaten path.
White Deer Hunters Inn
Offers excellent game dishes. Not the cheapest in town, but the meals are excellent and the atmosphere is unique--although locals are rare here, compared to tourists. Interior is full of mounted animals--which not everyone may like. Menu in English, Finnish, French, Italian, Polish, Russian translations may vary in minor aspects. Saddle of venison 3.150ft, cooked with truffles is very tender, absolutely recommended. The hunter's favourite 2.680ft is amazing in matching four sauces to four kinds of meat. Goose Ragout Soup 680ft is quite interesting, and served in a bread.
Cafes and confectioneries
Dobos Cukraszda
Very good choice of artistic and custom-made? cakes and marcipans of every size. In non-summer time, don't take seriously plastic seats you see right after entrance--there is a large hall with old-school furniture behind the counter as shown on panorama on the web site. Serves only Lipton tea, but Segafredo coffee. For the New Year season, a Christmas tree is decorated with real sweets and marshmallows. It has been in operation since 1966 and the interior seems to have remained the same since then.
Marján Cukraszda
Much more modern compared to Dobos, still quite luxurious interior with striped chairs and marble tables. Be careful with the cacao--really large cups.
Plenty of restaurants all over the town.
Visit some csárdas in Valley of Beautiful Women Szépasszony-völgy. Some of them are constantly overcrowded as tourists are brought there by buses of partner agencies.
One of the specialties are pancake balls.
