Take a look at what exactly the next Gourmet Festival has in store for you.
“To bring the forerunners of the gastro-revolution closer to consumers” – this, in short, is the goal of the Gourmet Festival. The organisers expand the number of exhibitors every year, as they want interested members of the public to get a comprehensive overview of the most well-known personalities in Hungarian gastronomy, not merely the top restaurants.
Until 2011, the ‘predecessor’ of the Gourmet Festival was known as the Buda Gourmet; in the years since, the festival has grown to become an incredible event featuring the best Hungarian chefs, restaurants, and culinary personalities. In addition to an up-close and personal view of Hungarian gastronomic culture, visitors will also find many well-known star chefs and representatives of high-ranking international restaurants in attendance, further enhancing the already colourful and varied palette of the festival.
Simply put: tens of thousands of fans interested in high-end gastronomy – as well as many famous stars from the culinary world. Every participant has one thing in common: a passion for the very best in food and drinks. If you’re planning to join them for the next Festival, we can assure you that you’ve made the right choice.
