The Pannonia Restaurant is centrally located in Szombathely's town square.
The restaurant itself is decked out in a rustic style, with heavy wooden tables and chairs.
The menu offers a comprehensive selection of mainly Hungarian dishes, but there are more familiar international items on offer. There are also daily specials too, often making use of seasonal produce. Menus are available with German and English translations.
Soups include traditional Gulyas (Goulash) and you may also be tempted by another Hungarian speciality, Hortobagy Palacsinta (Pancakes Hortobagy style), a savoury pancake stuffed with beef/veal and accompanied by a paprika cream sauce.
For main courses, game dishes, notably wild boar and deer are normally good here. The Vaddiszno Porkolt (Wild boar stew) served with Galuska (a sort of pasta) is particularly enjoyable. As well as game, traditional meat dishes predominate, though fish and a small number of vegetarian choices are available. Portions are substantial, which probably means you'll not get to dessert, but pancakes, ice cream etc. are on offer. A decent selection of wines, spirits and beer compliment your meal.
Service can be a little slow when the restaurant is busy but on the whole, the Pannonia offers good value, hearty fare.
