The restaurant, located in the heart of P\u00e9cs city centre, on the beautiful Theatre Square, is officially called P\u00e1holy by Bl\u00f6ff Bisztr\u00f3, as it was created and is operated by the team of the former Bl\u00f6ff Bisztr\u00f3, a restaurant that was deservedly well-known in P\u00e9cs. The name also serves as a brand identity, carrying forward the professional background, culinary philosophy and hospitality experience of Bl\u00f6ff Bisztr\u00f3 at this new location. The name P\u00e1holy (\u201cTheatre Box\u201d) also has a special meaning: the operators believe that every guest deserves the best \u201cbox seat\u201d \u2013 in other words, attention, kindness, and a well-deserved lunch or dinner. The name also refers to the P\u00e9cs National Theatre and its Chamber Theatre, located right next to the restaurant.<\/p>\n
We were very curious to see how accessible this truly remarkable restaurant would be, given its outstanding atmosphere, service and quality. It is a popular destination for both local residents and visitors, whether for a celebratory lunch or for an excellent daily menu on an ordinary weekday.<\/p>\n
The main entrance should not discourage anyone, even though it has five steps leading up to it.
\nThe terrace on Kir\u00e1ly Street is completely accessible at street level. The terrace overlooking Theatre Square, next to the pleasant fountain, is also accessible via a ramp. Although the ramp is not particularly wide, it can be used safely.
\nFor wheelchair users, the accessible entrance is on the Theatre Square side of the building. The threshold is 1.5\u20132 cm high, which both members of our assessment team using manual wheelchairs crossed without difficulty.<\/p>\n
The indoor area has a smooth stone floor, making it comfortable to move around in a wheelchair. The tables are accessible for wheelchair users. Although the counter is too high to be conveniently used from a wheelchair, payment can also be made at the tables.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, as is so often the case, the toilets are the weakest point. At P\u00e1holy, the men’s toilet is not accessible for wheelchair users. The women’s toilet is spacious enough, and both members of our assessment team were able to use it with their manual wheelchairs. However, there is currently no accessibility sign on the door, nor are the necessary accessible features available, such as grab rails next to the toilet or an emergency call system. The operators are open to improvements, and we hope that, with our assistance, these changes will be made in the near future.<\/p>\n
A Braille menu is not available for visually impaired guests.<\/p>\n
Website:
\nThe website has a simple structure and uses large images, which may be helpful for people with low vision. The limited amount of text is not cognitively overwhelming. However, it does not provide accessibility information for guests with disabilities. For visually impaired users, the menu, drinks list and weekly menu cannot be read with a screen reader, and the images do not include alternative text.<\/p>\n
Getting there:
\nUsing local public transport, Theatre Square can be reached from the \u00c1rk\u00e1d shopping centre within 15 minutes on foot, via an accessible route. Tactile guiding lines on Irgalmasok Street also provide assistance for visually impaired people.
\nThe square in front of the theatre has unfortunately been paved with cobblestones in a rather impractical way, which makes assistance necessary here as well. There are no tactile guiding lines on the square or on Kir\u00e1ly Street.<\/p>\n
By car, an accessible parking space is located at the corner of F\u00fcrd\u0151 Street and T\u00edm\u00e1r Street, approximately 250\u2013300 metres from the restaurant. Four designated accessible parking spaces can be found at the corner of Sz\u00e9chenyi Square and M\u00e1ria Street, from where Theatre Square can be reached accessibly within a walk of approximately 150\u2013200 metres. Two designated accessible parking spaces are located in front of the P\u00e9cs Regional Court of Appeal on Sz\u00e9chenyi Square, as well as in the nearby M\u00e1ria Street, approximately 150\u2013200 metres from the restaurant. On Sz\u00e9chenyi Square, accessible parking spaces are also available next to Nagy Lajos Secondary School (Janus Pannonius Street), approximately 200\u2013250 metres from the restaurant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","at_biz_dir-location":[],"at_biz_dir-category":[27],"at_biz_dir-tags":[],"atbdp_listing_types":[14],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/peoplefirst.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/at_biz_dir\/7346"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/peoplefirst.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/at_biz_dir"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/peoplefirst.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/at_biz_dir"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peoplefirst.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peoplefirst.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7346"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peoplefirst.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/peoplefirst.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"at_biz_dir-location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peoplefirst.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/at_biz_dir-location?post=7346"},{"taxonomy":"at_biz_dir-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peoplefirst.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/at_biz_dir-category?post=7346"},{"taxonomy":"at_biz_dir-tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peoplefirst.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/at_biz_dir-tags?post=7346"},{"taxonomy":"atbdp_listing_types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peoplefirst.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/atbdp_listing_types?post=7346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
