Our story
Two generationsat one table
Papuli in Senta has been a family restaurant since 1971. The name is the nickname of one of the first owners — easy to say in both Serbian and Hungarian, just as two languages and two cuisines meet at our table.
Today the second generation runs the house. We cook by recipes passed down through the family — from Granny's beef stew to the boneless fish soup we're known for far and wide.

House speciality
Boneless fish soup
Our signature and our pride — a boneless fish soup made from fresh river fish, rich with ground paprika. Alongside it we serve home-made pasta with cottage cheese and crackling — „túrós csusza” to our own house recipe, the way it has always been eaten in Vojvodina.

To begin
Home-made boards& starters
While you wait for the main course, a board of home-made cold cuts, cheeses and seasonal fruit arrives — hand-arranged, just right for two or for a lively table. The true start to every good lunch.
From the grill & the Tisza
Every platetells a story
River fish fried to a crisp, meats off the grill, stuffed cutlets and home-made desserts — prepared fresh, every day, by recipes unchanged since 1971.
