Stop At: Central Market Hall, Vamhaz korut, 1-3, Budapest 1093 Hungary
The Central Market Hall is Budapest’s cathedral of food and one of Europe’s largest and most spectacular indoor markets. We’ll introduce you to Hungarian cuisine through the great variety and abundance of ingredients (mostly local and seasonal) on display. We will discuss the spectacular building, the culture of eating and drinking in Hungary, the ingredients, the dishes commonly made from them … and just what it is that Hungarian home cooks do with all of that pork fat, paprika, and goose liver. As we walk the market aisles we’ll taste a selection of foods (and have an aperitif to fortify us).
Duration: 45 minutes

Did the tour yesterday with Danielle and had a great time. Danielle was very knowledgeable of Hungarian cuisine and shared in an informal yet informative manner. Sampled many foods - some familiar, many not. The food was good, the tour was well-paced, and the group was the perfect size at 8. Highly recommend this tour.
This was really a fascinating way to get to understand the Hungarian culture from a food and wine point of view. Really enjoyed the variety of stops (morning tea at the Market Hall, lunch, famous patisserie, artisan chocolates, and even Hungarian wine) although I think it might have been one stop too many! We were stuffed by the end of the tour. Perhaps drop the patisserie shop. The lunch spot was definitely where locals went for a quick bite to eat but might have preferred more choice in what we ate. Loved the small group format. Definitely recommend (but don’t even think about eating any breakfast!)
Wonderful our guide, Andrew was just amazing, if I were to take this tour again I would only go with him
Fantastic tour! Very much worth the time and expense. The guide was energetic and knowledgeable. Believe the description, this tour will leave you happily stuffed.
