Highlights
  • Tasting Table Budapest - Occasionally, we convert our wine cellar into an exclusive chef’s table, where Chef Tamás hosts a dinner party from the open kitchen. He brings his culinary visions to life in the form of menus, which we complement with wines from our collection. Guests are seated at our two long communal tables, and much like a genuine dinner party, the conversation and wine flow freely.

Additional Information

In our view, a party has not really started until you have a glass of sparkling wine (pezsgő) in hand, so we’ll pour you a glass of bubbles as soon as you arrive. From then, the dishes and the wine will keep coming for the next few of hours! Chef Tamás will narrate the food, and our sommelier will tell stories about the wines in your glasses. You can…

Worth every penny and much more. - Before anything else, visit it! You will not regret it. Perfect ambience, absolutely lovely people and an experience to remember. During our visit to Budapest, we visited Taste Hungary twice! We initially went for a wine tasting, which Tomas led so beautifully that me and my partner, who go to wine tastings monthly, knew we wanted to come again immediately. Tomas presented a selection of beautiful and delicious wines, all from tiny Hungarian producers, which gave us the opportunity to try wines and grapes we would never have otherwise, and that was such a beautiful night. This, however, pales in comparison to our next experience with them. The following night we went to the Chef’s Table experience, which happens every Friday and is a 6 course dinner with 7 wine pairings. Where do I start? The Chef prepares the food mostly in front of you and the food was nothing less than magical. Once more, locally sourced from small producers and you can taste the freshness of all the dishes. It feels like being part of a top chef’s experiment, and it could not been better. The wine pairings went so well together other guests gasped when it was revealed which dish would be served with the wine, exclaiming how perfect it would go together. I can’t recommend this experience enough, it is worth every penny and more. (Plus, they have a store with all the beautiful wines, bring an extra suitcase)

We had a blast! - The food was exceptional, and plenty of it bring an empty stomach! The chef and sommelier were personable and knowledgeable about the regions wines and food. We had a wonderful time and would recommend to anyone who loves good food and wine! Thanks again Tomas and Tomas! (sp)

Best thing to do in Budapest - Have been to many countries and have tried many experiences, but few, if any, have lived up to this event. We learned a lot about Hungarian culture while watching chef prepare an fantastic 7 course meal. Portions were generous, food was outstanding and there was A LOT of wine and all great pairings. If you have time to only do one thing in Budapest, do this!

An Evening to Remember - Chef Tamas was truly amazing. His love of food and wine shines through and he made the evening one my husband and I will never forget. The basement setting is just perfect and we shared the evening with another couple from Germany and two female travelers- so it was very intimate with just 6 of us. Each dish was better than the one that came before it and the wine pairings were spectacular - each complimenting and enhancing the food being served. I would recommend anyone visiting Budapest to 100% include this on your itinerary - it should not be missed.

Amazing evening in Budapest with great food, wine and company! - My husband and I attended the chefs table at the end of May and had an amazing evening. A lovely way to spend my 40th birthday! Tamás and John were great hosts and their passion for the food and wine shone through. We were on a table of 8 and really got to know our fellow guests over the many food courses with wine pairings. The whole evening lasted over 4 hours, and felt perfectly paced. Great to learn about Hungarian food and wine as we were eating and drinking. This was the highlight of our trip and I would absolutely recommend this for an evening in Budapest!

We fell in love! - Dinner was absolutely incredible! We loved everything about our experience from sharing the table with another lovely couple, the food, the wine, the kindness of Chef Tamás and Christian, and the atmosphere in the cellar. It was one of the first things we did in Hungary and it made us fall in love with the city. Chef Tamás is incredible at what he does, he was so kind and happy to share his recipes and love of what he does, the food was beautiful and made us feel like we were sharing in a family dinner filled with warmth. Christian the sommelier was just as amazing, his knowledge of the wines, how they paired with the food, and just his overall character were really cool and you can tell he is so passionate about what he does. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough, you will leave with a warmth in your belly that just makes you feel loved and cared for. We still often talk of this night with friends, and it fills us with the best memories. Thank you for the most wholesome, and heart warming welcome that we could have had to beautiful Budapest. We can’t wait to return! Egészségedre!

Lovely wines tasting - Very large selection of hungarian wines from all regions. The host had a vast knowledge of the subject and you could effectively choose which wines you wanted to sample on the flight. We did the small 5 flight tasting but there are other options including professional tastings. Lovely hour spent discussing the wines.

Excellent food, wine, and company - This review is coming quite late, but the two dinner and wine tastings I attended are still fresh in my mind. Each time we got to taste a variety of Hungarian wines, all introduced by their own vintner who explained about the region, the grapes, etc. We sat at one of two communal tables, and our company was really fascinating-- different people from around the world with some truly amazing jobs and stories. There were delicious hors d'oeuvres on the table, service was excellent, and the food was out of this world both times-- chef Tomas is an absolute talent. I don't think I've had fresh trout like that in my entire life, and when I told him how the dessert was like a religious experience, he gave me another portion. He said something lovely about the joy of seeing people enjoy his food. All in all, the experience is incredibly well planned and executed, with talented, sweet, and interesting people both organizing and attending. I'd say this is a Budapest can't miss!

Wonderful Experience! - My husband and I had the pleasure of doing the wine tasting in early 2018 and had a wonderful experience. Our host was very pleasant and knowledgable. Would certainly recommend it.
