About this spot
J&G Palacsintafaló stands out in the Great Market Hall with massive, thin crepes that are far superior to the thick, cake-like versions found elsewhere. You must order the classic Túrós palacsinta filled with sweet quark cheese and sour cherry jam, or try the savory options with bacon and onions. The sheer size of the 'óriás' (giant) portions means one person can easily finish a single crepe as a main meal.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order extra paprika powder to sprinkle on top of your savory meat-filled crepes for an authentic flavor boost.
- Bring a small knife and fork, as the giant crepes are served whole without cuts and require cutting yourself.
- Visit early in the day to avoid long lines, especially if you plan to eat right after browsing the market stalls.
