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.
What's Included
  • Dinner included
  • Selection of seven wine types
  • Digestive drink included
What's Not Included
  • Gratuities
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 expect some welcome bites, an appetizer, a bit of charcuterie, two main courses, farmstead cheeses, and dessert paired with a glass of sweet Tokaji Aszú, Hungary’s signature sweet wine, known for its amazing elegance and concentration.

Though the menu changes for every occasion, Tamás bases his style on the Hungarian classics, which he prepares in a modern style (with his own magic touches). Ingredients are always local, seasonal, bought straight from his usual market vendors or from the farmers and producers we work with. At the end of the meal, we’ll set out a few types of local cheese, while you enjoy a digestive from our collection.

  • All of our events are always in English
  • Most dietary restrictions can be accommodated (if we know in advance)
  • If you would rather have a private dinner or tasting (which can be customized), please contact us for arrangements and pricing!
  • Communal seating in our old brick wine cellar.

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.

Tasting treat - If you love food and wine, a Tasting Table's winemaker dinner is a must do event. Dine in an underground cellar with a local winemaker and learn more about the wines of Hungary and neighbouring countries. Such a treat, with great hospitality fromour hosts.

A must-do in Budapest: fantastic wine, delicious food, and great company! - If you can plan your trip to Budapest to coincide with the bi-weekly dinner at Tasting Table, this is a can't miss dinner. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the ability to chat with the winemaker and fellow dinner guests at the communal table throughout the evening is fantastic. Tomas and his team did a fantastic job, I hope to find myself back in Budapest to experience another Thursday at Tasting Table!
