Walk times are straight-line estimates (×1.3 for streets, 5 km/h); “(area)” means the cluster centre, not the door. Diet “ask” means possible with care; Voykit has not tested cross-contact.

House rules for eating here

  • Look for a busy canteen or café with a short menu; a long list of every dish is a sign of a tourist kitchen.
  • Check whether service is already on the bill; if it is, no extra tip is needed.
  • Book dinner on Friday and Saturday; the kitchen often closes around 22:00 on weekdays.
  • Vegetarian options are growing but meat and sour cream are everywhere: ask.
