Looking for the perfect way to start your night in Budapest? Join a small group of maximum 12 people and spend a laid-back evening eating and drinking your way through the city with a local who knows Budapest’s food and drink scene inside out. Expect great Hungarian flavors, plenty of local drinks, good stories, and a few spots you probably wouldn’t find on your own.
We'll take you beyond the typical tourist spots and into the hidden gems. From family-run businesses and local pubs.
Along the way, you'll taste 16+ Hungarian food and drink specialties, including local beers, wines, pálinka, Unicum and lángos, while discovering what Hungarians actually eat and drink when they go out.
This isn't a typical pub crawl or a formal food tour - it's an evening spent exploring Budapest like a local, meeting fellow travelers, discovering authentic places and getting a real taste of Hungarian drinking and food culture.
