About this activity

Not sure what to eat in Budapest? We’ve got you covered! On our Budapest Food Tour, we organised everything for you to eat like a local and try the most authentic Hungarian street food and traditional dishes. With organised entry at popular eateries, you’ll try the best bites in Budapest and meet the locals who make them.

A local guide will take you through District 7, a former Jewish neighbourhood turned nightlife hub. Here you’ll experience the bohemian side of the city as you try authentic street food like traditional soup and Lángos, a deep-fried flatbread. Then you’ll get to see the city’s more glamorous side as you head to fancy restaurants for a sit-down meal. Try Hungarian comfort food like chicken paprikash and pálinka. Then finish with sweet wine from Tokaji, Hungary’s famed wine region, and somlói, a trifle cake with custard.

Book now to experience Budapest’s history and culture through its cuisine and meet like-minded travellers along the way!

Itinerary

Kazinczy Street Synagogue

one hour

Most of Hungarian cuisine has deep roots in Jewish history, telling the resilient story of their people. To better understand the connection between Jewish culture and the food in Budapest, our tour will begin at a synagogue with a brief introduction from an expert guide.
Budapest's Jewish Quarter

one hour

We’ll continue learning about Jewish influence on Hungarian cuisine by strolling through District 7, a former Jewish neighbourhood and home to the biggest synagogue in Europe. Nowadays, it’s known for its vibrant nightlife where you’ll find iconic “ruin bars” and restaurants. They're a trend on social media, but they are still deeply connected to the district’s Jewish roots. You’ll explore the streets with your local guide, who will tell you about the history and how it relates to Hungarian cuisine before experiencing authentic street food. Leave your utensils at home; all you need is an open mind! You’ll be eating on the street like a local before heading to some sit-down spots.
Andrassy Avenue

30 min

Now it’s time to explore the other side of Budapest, one with a bit more glamour and style. You’ll stroll the city’s most expensive streets, where you’ll head to atmospheric restaurants to try traditional Hungarian dishes. We’ll finish the tour with a sweet treat before you continue the night with your newfound friends!
