My flat is found in a historical block of flats at the corner of Kiraly Street and Csengery Street, in the Jewish Quarter.


It was built in the 1920s and I love this because it has a history.

This is a typical upper-middle class block of flats with a huge gate, quiet inner courtyard and unique atmosphere.

Our signature tour introduces local culinary and wine culture through classic flavors, unique wines, history, and stunning architecture. Budapest’s first food tour, est. 2008!

Our trip to Hungary last year was one of the most rewarding food travel experiences I’ve ever had. And I’ve had a lot of them over the last thirty years. Gábor and Carolyn took care of literally every detail—the planning was great, the timing was good, and the food was excellent. We were introduced to the people who make the food, had a chance to experience production kitchens and personalities that we’d never have seen on our own. Throughout Gábor’s positive energy, caring attention to detail, good humor and ability to adapt when needed in the moment added up to make it a very special and productive trip. I would very highly recommend Taste Hungary to anyone who loves food and travel and wants to experience Hungarian cuisine and culture at a level far deeper than the average tourist will ever encounter.

Coming into the tour, I not only knew practically nothing about Hungarian foods and wines, but I really didn’t know a lot about the culture. What I got out of my tour with Taste Hungary was a deep appreciation of Budapest and Tokaj. I now not only understand what real goulash (gulyás) is, but I feel like I’ve developed a real repertoire with Hungarian wines (such as eszencia and aszú) and desserts (such as flódni). Additionally, touring the area that was the Jewish ghetto was a really touching experience. I would fully recommend Taste Hungary with no reservation.
