About the activity

Budapest offers two distinct culinary journeys, and this tour allows you to choose your preferred experience. Opt for Óbuda, the city's most ancient district, built upon Roman foundations. Here, you'll explore a traditional butcher shop, a restaurant with over 125 years of heritage, and a local café, sampling 8 Hungarian delicacies including sausage, lángos, fánk, and homemade strudel. Alternatively, discover Downtown Budapest, where grand avenues and Baroque courtyards serve as the backdrop for 8 tastings. Indulge in hearty gulyás soup, crispy lángos, zesty pickled vegetables, and Hungarian meats, capped off with chimney cake and a small Hungarian beer. Both culinary paths are guided by an expert who navigates each stop like a local. Each route also features a 'Secret Dish,' a beloved local specialty revealed only upon arrival. Secret Food Tours has curated these routes through family-run kitchens that have served locals for generations, steering clear of tourist traps. Expect small groups, authentic recipes, and a true taste of Budapest.

Zoltan was fantastic!
katieg541, October 2026
Zoltan was just fantastic!! He interspersed history and culture with the most delicious array of Hungarian specialties and was SO knowledgeable and entertaining. We really enjoyed his company and guiding and were very happy and very full when we finished. Thank you so much!
Response from the operator · secretfoodtours
Very happy and very full is exactly how we hope every Budapest tour ends, so thank you for sharing this! Hungarian food carries so much of the city's history and culture, and we love that you got to taste both side by side. Secret Food Tours would be glad to have you along again on your next trip.

Hungarian Food and Local Drink Tour
J560XCkelseys, October 2026
This tour was perfect for diving into the local Hungarian cuisine. Our tour guide George was awesome! You truly get so much food it’s hard to even finish it all. Would highly recommend this experience
Response from the operator · secretfoodtours
So much food it's hard to finish is a good problem to have in Budapest, so thank you for sharing this! Hungarian cooking is generous by nature, and we're glad the day gave you a proper introduction. We'd love to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours wherever your travels go next.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Amazing food tour & Hungarian insights
J2386BNalexb, October 2026
I enjoyed a really excellent tour with our guide Gyorgy. Not only did we get to try various street foods and desserts, our tour took us on a stroll through the museum that is Budapest’s streets and squares, with fascinating insights into Hungary’s culture and history and helping us to understand why things are the way they are today. We experienced food joints both modern and traditional, with the final spot giving us the opportunity to try various key dishes. I left quite incredibly nourished and that was even with restraining myself. I would recommend the tour for anyone interested in both the food of Hungary but for those who are quietly curious about the country’s past, present and future, since it was a tour both thought-provoking as well as appetite-satisfying, not to mention palate-broadening. Thanks again for having us.

Best tour with Zoltan
H4726JItanyas, September 2026
This was one of the tastiest and funniest tours we had been on. Zoltan was absolutely hilarious, while packing a lot of history, personal anecdotes and tips and pointers for Budapest. We loved the food so much that ended up going to some of the same places again during our stay. Fantastic time and Zoltan, thank you for all the laughs!
Response from the operator · secretfoodtours
