Overview

You might as well call Budapest “Food-a-pest” because the Hungarian capital is buzzing with delicious restaurants, and on this priority access food tour, we'll help you eat like a local, no planning required.

The tour starts at an old synagogue, as much of Hungarian cuisine is heavily influenced by Jewish culture and tradition.

You'll get the best of both worlds when it comes to the city’s gastronomic scene, from local secrets to high-end spots. First, you’ll try delicious street food like traditional Hungarian soup and Lángos, a deep-fried flatbread, and wash it down with local Dreher beer.

After soaking in the eccentric atmosphere of the city’s party streets, we'll head to fancier spots for a sit-down meal. Taste Hungarian classics like chicken paprikash, a Hungarian comfort food with braised chicken and paprika, and a shot of Pálinka. We'll end the tour with sweet wine from Tokaji, Hungary’s famed wine region, and somlói, a trifle cake with custard.

What's Included

  • A variety of food tastings at four Hungarian eateries
  • Three alcoholic beverages including wine, beer, and shots
  • Organised entry into local eateries, a pre-planned itinerary and set menu
  • We can't accommodate a gluten-free or vegan diet
