The Budapest Food Passport is a self-guided tasting tour around Budapest.
You are given six tasting vouchers from a selected 25 tasting locations (restaurants, cafes, bakeries, confectionaries, coffee houses,) in Budapest. It’s mostly centered around Hungarian Cuisine, so the food passport tastings at each location are items like Langos, Goulash, Hungarian Wines and cheeses, and lesser known local favorites. But there are also items like Macaroons and local Ice Cream. We do have 3 locations that are vegan/vegetarian friendly, though most Hungarian food is meat-based.
Simply provide the voucher you want to use at any of the 25 food locations to exchange it for our specially prepared menu at that location.
Each Food Passport contains six voucher to explore the options and you can choose which locations want to taste. We do provide suggested routes to help guide you (so you can see all of the top sights, for example,) but you can always use the vouchers in whichever order you’d like.
One voucher we provide is a “golden voucher,” which is a larger offering. This could be a top-quality food tasting, which also includes a wine tasting and a small museum ticket, for example. There are three locations where you can use this voucher.
Use our Budapest Food Passport! Don’t get stuck in the middle of tourist traps or mild hotel restaurants! Let Budataste show you the must visit places to go in Budapest, and the coolest dishes to try! Don’t overpay for low quality! Taste the best of Budapest, and be able to go back for more!
The Budataste idea is to have a Budapest restaurant guide, where you can try Hungarian traditional food that you might not have tried before.
This is a non-guided experience, so you will be able to explore the best foods of the city, and dishes you might not have known about, at your own pace.
Budataste takes the mystery out of choosing a good quality authentic Budapest restaurant. It provides tastings at 6 out of our list of the 25 best restaurants in Budapest.
There are Cafes, coffee houses, hidden Budapest gems, classic historical places, sweet confectionaries, cake shops, and even selected Budapest fine dining.
Easily upgrade the Budapest Food Passport to include tickets to a Hop On Hop Off Sightseeing Bus here! This way you get to see the best sights in the city, and the best food. This combination is the best, and quickest, way to see the city.
There are thousands of restaurants in Budapest. The easiest way to choose where to eat is to stop when you’re hungry. The closest may or may not be a bad restaurant, but what if the place right next door was better, or even one of the best hidden spots in the Budapest!
Though, many times you won’t know until you try a place for yourself. The Budataste community is working to be a guide for these great locations.
Visiting Budapest you probably don’t have a lot of time. And eating at a restaurant you end up not enjoying is a huge waste. The Budataste community works to fix this problem with our Budapest food passport!
The locations included in our food passport are chosen, rated, and decided on, by the Budataste Community of foodies. We are always discovering new, and classic, places in the city!
The Budataste food passport is a Budapest guide to the best restaurants in Budapest. You get a tasting course at 6 locations of your choosing from the food passport. There are great cafes, confectionaries, master bakers, hidden coffee houses, traditional spots, and of course the best restaurants.
The Budapest card, on the other hand, is really great if you plan on visiting more then one museum per day. If you can see yourself visiting two or three museums in one day, then the Budapest Card is certainly for you.
If you only see yourself visiting one per day, then you are really just buying a daily metro ticket. And if that is the case then you might wonder is the Budapest card worth it?
Discovering a new city through its food and culinary history can sometimes say more about a culture then a collection of old statues. (However, we have nothing against old statues!) Food brings people together, and what better way to get to know a new culture then by sharing time and bites with locals where they love to eat.
Additionally, the Budataste Food Passport lasts the whole season! You can use the whole value of this and visit all of the passport’s food stops in one day (a busy day!) Or it could be in two, or three days, or even over a whole month!
If you pair the Budataste food passport with a Budapest city tour, like a hop on hop off sightseeing bus, then there are better ways to use the food Passport. In this case, it’s best to use the food passport tasting vouchers for places around the sightseeing routes, or close to your hotel. Since you’ll already be visiting Budapest sights, use the Budataste food passport to find hidden gems and the best tastings nearby to you.
The original Budataste Food Passport includes:
This card is intended for visitors who have between 3 hours to up to 5 days to visit and explore the best food, cafes, and restaurants, in Budapest.
Keep using the restaurants in the Food Passport as a Budapest visitor’s guide to the best places to eat and drink in Budapest. Ultimately, the list is a curated group of our favorite cafes, authentic family run eateries, and hidden gems in Budapest.
If you use all of the 6 food tasting vouchers earlier then you thought you would, and would like to continue the tasting, just let us know! We can sell an additional 6 voucher bundle at a discounted rate!
The Budataste Budapest Food Passport is a Budapest food guide to the 25 best restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, wine bars, and specialty food stores in Budapest. With the Budapest food passport you can experience 6 tastings at these spots.
If you want to explore Budapest through the food passport to taste your way through the city’s best food, this is perfect for you. The Food passport should take 1 to 3 days to complete.
The Budapest Card for 2 days costs about the same, but would be for the Budapest visitor looking to explore the city through museums. The Budapest Food Passport is for the visitor looking to explore the city through it’s food.
If you are more of a foodie, and would rather visit two or more great traditional Budapest food hidden gems, then the Budapest Food Passport is for you.
The Budataste food passport is not for everyone. But we would rather visit the best Budapest street food, or the best traditional Budapest Chimney cake. This, to us, is more valuable when exploring Budapest and it’s people, culture, and culinary history.
These are not paid for advertisements, and there are no promotions. Simply the best, as we have experienced. (You, too, can be a part of the Budataste community, and be a part of these ratings, click here!)
All places are constantly tried by the Budataste Community, and new places are being considered all the time!
In the event of holidays, some of the stores included might be closed. Please make sure you review their working hours that are provided in our Budapest Food Passport Card that we will provide, or directly with us. Budapest is very quiet during Sundays and holidays, and many places might be closed.
