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, offering a great introduction to the history of Hungarian cuisine since much of the food 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 some delicious street food such as traditional Hungarian soup and Lángos, a deep-fried flatbread.
After soaking in the eccentric atmosphere of the city’s party streets, we'll head to fancier spots for a sit-down meal. You’ll try Hungarian classics like nokedli dumplings and Flódni, a Jewish-Hungarian pastry. You’ll also sample alcoholic beverages like Pálinka and sweet wine from Tokaji, Hungary’s famed wine region, or alcohol-free options for sober travellers.

4.00Pleasant guide, Peter. Brought to 4 different stops. Initial soup and stew at third place both excellent. Langos was unpleasant, topped with sour cream and cheese. Was like something you'd eat after a pub crawl. Just not for us. Ended in a nice place for dessert, a soft cake with cream. Meant to be soaked in rum, but no rum flavour. Overall was fine, but wish we'd done a different tour. Guide did not send on recommendations in the WhatsApp group he added us to.
Great food and guide

4.00We met the guide and went to 4 places to eat Hungarian food. The food was great and the guide knowledgeable but there was a fair bit of walking and doubling back on where we had been before.
