Explore Budapest’s Culinary Delights Like a Local
With bars and restaurants on every corner, Budapest is a food lover’s paradise, and we’re here to ensure you enjoy it like a true local. You can join the Budapest Foodie Tour, where you’ll explore authentic Hungarian cuisine with an expert guide and a small / smallish group of fellow travellers, all while learning fascinating bits of history along the way.
The journey begins at an old synagogue, the ideal starting point to dive into Hungarian food traditions, which are deeply rooted in Jewish heritage. From there, you’ll wander through District 7, Budapest’s former Jewish quarter, now a buzzing nightlife hub. As you walk, you’ll experience both the gritty charm and glamorous side of the city.
Start with the laid-back, casual side of Budapest and get ready to sample some street food while on the go! You’ll taste local favourites like a traditional soup (we Hungarians are soup lovers) as well as the classic, freshly made cheese topped flatbread Lángos, a crispy, yummy street food. After taking in the bohemian vibe of the old Jewish quarters of the city, your expert guide will take you to more refined spots for a sit-down meal, where you’ll enjoy Hungarian classics, after the main course trying a rich cake called Flódni, a Jewish-Hungarian layered pastry.
No food tour is complete without drinks so the Foodie Tour in Budapest will make sure your meals are matched with some lovely local drinks! Enjoy the perfect pairings of fruity Pálinka (the Hungarian style Grappa) and a glass of sweet dessert wine of Tokaji, straight from Hungary’s renowned Tokaj wine region.
This isn’t just a food tour, it’s a full cultural experience and a chance to meet other foodie travellers. Book now, and discover Budapest through the eyes—and tastes—of a local.
