Unfair and unethical business practice

1.00Very aggressive marketing policy. We consider this an unethical and intrusive business practice, as they keep sending unsolicited marketing emails to our company address. Not recommended.
Awesome authentic experience!

5.00This was such a great experience. We enjoyed the market walk very much as we got to sample lots of local specialties and items. The cooking class was very personable and informative. We learned lots of new techniques and the food that we got to enjoy the end of the class was exceptional. It was so fun learning about the Hungarian cooking styles and cuisines. I highly recommend that you book this class.
Don’t miss out on this!

5.00This is a must do! It was so much fun and so informative. The market trip was full of information on not only the food, but Budapest history. The cooking class was excellent. And then we got to eat!!! Katka was perfect- she is in the perfect role of chef, teacher and tour guide. Many thanks for a wonderful afternoon.
Fun and delicious

5.00The market was so incredible to visit. The history of the building and the old photos was fascinating. Our time cooking and learning new recipes was so worth it to have a special lunch.
Fantastic

5.00What a special experience. Kata was a fantastic host. Extremely knowledgeable, funny and totally down to earth. She made us feel right at home. The tour of the market was great. More importantly this is where locals buy food. The cooking class was really fun. My wife and I were fortunate to be the only students. We left with a wonderful experience and recipes for a life time. Don’t miss this in Budapest.
Local cuisine made easy!

5.00This was a wonderful immersion experience! The market was so fun and interesting. Our guide and teacher, Kata, could not have been nicer. She was so patient with us, as we are novice chefs!
A bit disappointed by the experience

3.00We were really looking forward to this Hungarian cooking class which had great reviews on TripAdvisor. Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed for several reasons. 1) It was advertised as a maximum of 12 people but there were 16 in our class, which was very crowded in the rather small kitchen. 2) The facilities were quite small and so with 16 people we just sat around a table and it wasn’t super interactive. There were points where individuals were able to have a go at doing some part of the cooking process but it wasn’t that interactive as the rest of the people were sitting around a table, not up and watching or engaging with what was happening. 2) There was not enough food for everyone - for example, there was not enough nokedli (noodles) for everyone. 3) The market tour was interesting but could be improved in several ways. It would have been good to get some more commentary as we walked through the market. We tried some traditional savoury pastry and then 6 different types of salami. It would have been better to try a great variety of things and have less salami. Thank you for the tour, although it didn’t quite fulfil our expectations, we hope these suggestions will help to improve the class in the future.
