Culinary Walk Sunday Edition

Itinerary
Our Sunday Culinary Walk has a different route than our signature Culinary Walk, but the same goal. We will introduce you to local culinary and wine culture through classic flavours, unique wines, history, and stunning architecture. You will explore central Budapest’s lively neighbourhoods through the lens of food, tasting a variety of delicious foods and drinks as your guide tells you the stories behind them. We will begin at a gorgeous coffeehouse, one of the original Budapest cafes which have been restored beautifully. Your guide will explain how these places were once hubs of creativity, with writers and artists gathering here to work and socialize. We will taste several traditional elegant Hungarian desserts here, and have a coffee to fortify us for the day. Most market halls are closed on Sundays, which gives us the opportunity to explore a Sunday farmer’s market, where farmer’s and producers bring their delicious home-grown and home-produced goods to the centre of the city. This farmer’s market is unique because it is located in a ruin bar, a whimsically decorated old building which by night is full of young locals hanging out in its warren of different rooms-turned bars. As we check out the unique decor of the place, we will taste a variety of foods. Meanwhile, your guide will discuss 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. From there, we will explore the surrounding neighbourhood a bit, the old Jewish Quarter, and head to a local butcher where we’ll settle in for a lunch feast of traditional dishes. After lunch, we will make our way to the Palace Quarter to a wine cellar where we’ll enjoy a tasting of three glasses of quintessential Hungarian wine. A sommelier will introduce us to the Hungarian wine regions, varietals, and styles, helping you put the Hungarian wine scene in context. We will end with a taste of the spectacular golden-tinted Tokaji aszú wine. This tour will give you a taste of Budapest’s exciting food scene, introducing you to some of the ingredients, dishes, wines, and spirits which are the backbone of Hungarian culinary culture.
