Highlights
  • Király Street - This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Marti hosts this experience at her second apartment; she used to live there with her husband before they had their child. Once their son was born, they moved a little further from the city center and converted their downtown apartment into a cooking studio. Her apartment is in a historic building that was built in the 1920s. It is conveniently located in downtown Budapest and is a 12-minute walk from the Hungarian State Opera House. Join Marti at her home cooking studio,a large and well equipped space for a hands-on Budapest cooking class. Marti aims to combine traditional family recipes with new technology. You will learn to cook 3 dishes from scratch (a soup, main course and dessert) during your 2-hour hands-on cooking class. Marti’s knowledge and passion for cooking is evident in the way she explains how to prepare each dish with step-by-step instructions. After cooking, enjoy a meal with Marti at her dining table.

Cooking in Budapest - We had an awesome cooking experience with Marty at her apartment in the 7th District. We made a traditional meal of Hungarian Goulash, chicken hortobagy and a chocolate/nut layer cake for desert. We drank wine, cooked, chatted about Hungarian culture and history and ate our wonderful dinner. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Marty!!

A Unique Memorable Dinner Experience!! - We were looking for something different and this was perfect. We went to a private apartment where we met Viki who was to be our teacher and hostess for the evening. She was delightful. It was just the three of us and we helped make a four course meal of a dip with bread, goulash, lechton(a traditional pepper, tomato dish) and bread pudding. We had wine paired with each. The food was delicious. While cooking Viki gave us historical information about the food of Budapest. We left feeling like we had made a new friend.
