Description

Good to Know

Join us as we explore the largest indoor market in Hungary, gather fresh ingredients, and then head over to our nearby apartment for a hands-on cooking session and cultural immersion. We'll start by meeting up at the iconic Central Market Hall of Budapest. From there, we'll take a short walk around the market, chatting about Hungarian history, cuisine, and culture while tasting some of the flavorus of Hungary! After the Market, we head over to our apartment, where a selection of mouth-watering snacks, like sausages, salamis, dips, and cheeses waiting for us before we get to it! Then, it's time to roll up our sleeves and get cooking!

[GLUTEN FREE, VEGAN, VEGETARIAN Options Available] What makes the Foodapest Cooking Class unique is that it blends culture, flavors, connection, and history into one experience. Unlike a standard cooking class during the morning classes, we begin with a guided market tour at the iconic Central Market Hall, where guests taste local specialties from real Hungarian producers. From there, we bring those fresh, seasonal ingredients to our cozy Budapest-style venue and learn how to prepare traditional Hungarian dishes, based on real family recipes. Along the way, guests connect with the city, the food, and each other: discovering not just how Hungarian cuisine tastes, but how it’s shaped by tradition, stories, and everyday life in Budapest. It’s not just a cooking class, it’s a cultural experience served family-style.

Fantastic customer service

My husband and I were booked on the cooking class but due to a significant problem, couldn’t attend. Our guide, Niki, was amazing. She was kind and thoughtful in all her communications which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Foodapest and Niki if you are considering a tour or class in Budapest. The day after we took part in a food tour with Foodapest with other members of our family and it was brilliant. We were so impressed with their professionalism and will definitely book...read more

A very fun way to learn about Hungarian food, culture and history all in one tour. Also learning to make the food with Soznjia was so enjoyable. She was very good at instructions with great humor.
