Budapest? More like Foodapest. 🍴

Hungary’s capital is a haven of seductively succulent street food—and now you can taste it all on your very own private food tour. With your local foodie guide, eat your way through Budapest’s best bites and uncover the stories, flavours, and traditions that make Hungarian cuisine so irresistible.


Since much of Hungarian cooking is rooted in Jewish heritage, your tour begins at an old synagogue, where you’ll discover how faith and food intertwine in the city’s culinary past. Then, head into District 7, a former Jewish neighbourhood turned nightlife hub, to experience two sides of Budapest: gritty and glamorous.


Eat like a true local as you savour traditional soup and Lángos (deep-fried flatbread) before sitting down at some of the city’s most atmospheric eateries. Here you’ll taste hearty nokedli dumplings and the beloved Flódni pastry, a Jewish-Hungarian classic layered with flavour and history.


Of course, no Budapest food journey is complete without a few drinks! You’ll sip on Pálinka, Hungary’s fiery fruit brandy, and sample sweet Tokaji wine, known as the “wine of kings.”


Hungry for adventure? This private food tour has all the right ingredients—authentic flavours, rich culture, and a few perfectly poured drinks. Experience Budapest’s vibrant spirit through its cuisine, with your guide tailoring every stop to your tastes and pace.
