A taste trip around the world, every day in Pécs

As a university town, Pécs has always been famous for its openness and diversity – this approach is perfectly represented by the Umami restaurant, which has been open since 2021 on the Szigeti út campus of the University of Pécs, on the south-east corner of the New Theoretical Block.

The new concept of the team of the Pezsgőőház Restaurant, which has been operating successfully for two decades, not only brought professionally renewable energy, but also a unique gastronomic experience: the aim of Umami is to offer guests a daily taste of the cuisines of different nations of the world – healthy, fresh and sustainable.

The restaurant’s speciality is that it not only offers a quality, fast and creative menu at lunchtime, but also a themed counter in the afternoons, where a variety of international snacks and dishes are served to university students and visitors from the rest of the city. The dishes often include exotic flavours, innovative combinations and national specialities rarely available elsewhere.

The place is particularly attentive to different dietary habits and sensitivities – vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free or gluten-free options are available. The philosophy behind the local ingredients, seasonal sourcing and in-house production is backed by a dedicated, young, multilingual team who work day in, day out to ensure that every guest can find their own favourite – even beyond the fried meat.

Umami is not just a canteen, it’s an experience – a modern self-service restaurant where quality, hospitality and internationality truly go hand in hand. A fresh and exciting addition to the city’s gastronomic palette, it is simply not to be missed!
