What you eat on a Budapest food tour
Most tours start at or near the Great Market Hall, the 19th-century covered market at the end of Váci utca, where stalls sell paprika, salami, goose liver and pickles. From there they walk into the old Jewish Quarter or the inner city for goulash soup, lángos, túrós csusza (curd cheese pasta), a pastry such as strudel or Dobos torte, and a tasting of Hungarian wine and pálinka fruit brandy.
How to choose
The food walking tour to eat, sip and explore like a local is the most booked. If wine matters, take the market to tavern tour with fourteen tastings and wines, which ends at a traditional tavern. The guided food walk with drinks included is the other safe choice at the same price.
Good to know
The Great Market Hall closes on Sundays and early on Saturdays, so market tours run on weekdays and Saturday mornings. Come hungry: most tours count as lunch or dinner.
