Overview

Budapest's first food tour (est. 2008!) introduces Hungarian food and wine culture through classic flavors, unique wines, history, and stunning architecture. You'll get a taste of the traditional side of Hungarian cuisine, and the modern artisan producers and specialty shops spicing up Budapest’s food scene. Beginning at the Central Market—Budapest’s cathedral of food—we’ll introduce you to Hungarian cuisine through the abundance of ingredients. We'll discuss the building, Hungary's eating and drinking culture, special dishes … and just what Hungarian cooks do with all the pork fat, paprika, and goose liver. Here we’ll taste a selection of foods (and have an aperitif to fortify us). After a lunch feast at a traditional butcher, we’ll sample the elegant cakes that Hungarian bakers are known for at a classic coffeehouse. We'll visit an award-winning chocolatier, and finish with a sommelier led tasting of 3 great local wines (including Tokaji aszú) paired with artisan cheese. Come hungry!

Meeting points

Meet us just inside the main entrance of the Central Market Hall, near the escalators going up. Your guide will be carrying a "Taste Hungary" tote bag for easier identification.

The highlight of our whole stay in Budapest!

Published on Jan, 2025

This was over 4 hours so well spent. The food was delicious and eclectic. From Langos to sausage to cakes and of course the drinks, everything was great. Our guide was absolutely brilliant! She was knowledgable and fun, the whole thing just flew by. If you do one thing in Budapest, do this.

Highly recommend it

Published on Dec, 2024

It was a really great experience. Our guide was super friendly and gave us a lot of information on the food and on Budapest in general. The food and wine we tasted were all very good and gave a very good taste of Hungarian traditions. Highly recommend it.

Great Experience!

Published on Dec, 2024

I was traveling by myself and absolutely loved this experience. Not only was it fun to try traditional Hungarian foods, but there was so much history and explanation (in a fun way) that I felt like this was an amazing cultural experience and was able to learn and appreciate more about this beautiful country. 10/10 would recommend and do again. I did the 9:30am since the 3pm was sold out and the only thing I wish I had been able to do was go in the afternoon since during Christmas time it was a bit small in the morning. Our guide was incredible and I appreciate him so much for making my solo travel trip so interesting!

Go for it but skip breakfast!

Published on Dec, 2024

This was so much fun and our guide was terrific. The amount of food is almost ridiculous - 4 straight hours of tasty treats, including a full lunch.

Must-do if visiting Budapest!

Published on Dec, 2024

My friend and I love to do food/wine tours when visiting new cities and this one was another awesome experience! Our tour guide Esther shared a lot of information about food/wine and the city so we learned a lot and also tried a ton of great food. The Central Market is beautiful and it was awesome to sample some food with a guide who knew where to take us to get a good variety (langos, sausages, pickles) and it was all so delicous. We made a few different stops and learned more about the city as we walked. The Tasting table was an amazing final stop, where we tried some cheese and wine and learned about Hungarian wine. We weren't in Budapest very long for our trip but we felt like we got a weeks worth of food tasting / knowledge from this one tour and it made for a really fun morning / early afternoon. This is a must-do if you want to get a great sampling of delicious Hungarian food and wine and learn about the city / culture from a very knowledgeable guide!
