Loads of stalls but they basically sell the same stuff. As per any market don’t buy at the first stalls at the entrance. We didn’t buy food and I think that’s what’s most popular there. Souvenirs and trinkets overpriced and repetitive

Wonderful tour of the Great Market Hall in Budapest. We just had three groups take this tour in March and each of the tours was just fantastic. Kata was very knowledgeable about Hungarian cuisine and history. The stops for tastings were very well chosen -- such a wide variety of foods and such large tasting samples! Strongly recommend this tour!!!

We we booked this tour online prior to our trip to Budapest. We met our guide and now friend Kata at the designated spot. Kata showed us around the Grand Central market and we were able to taste numerous samplings of traditional Hungarian food types. We then were transported to their kitchen where we were offered a beginning drink of schnapps. Kata had the table set with the items that we needed to prepare for our cooking class. We started by preparing root vegetables to make a broth for the soup. We then prepared the chicken prior to it going into the skillets to make Hungarian paprika chicken. We then made the dumplings and while the paprika chicken was cooking we then prepared a traditional Hungarian poppy seed bread pudding.this was the first time we had taken a cooking class while traveling and it is something that we will have to do for every trip in the future. I cannot give this class enough stars we had so much fun.

Spent a great afternoon cooking with Kata, an excellent and knowledgeable guide and cook, in the company of some lovely fellow foodies. Learnt some great tips that I’ll certainly use - can’t wait to try out the dishes we cooked at home ! This is an excellent course, accompanied by wine tasting to give a real good introduction to Hungarian cuisine. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

My husband and I did this 1/2 day course and thoroughly enjoyed it. We loved the inclusive market tour and tastings and learning the history of the foods. Preparing the recipes, cooking, learning about different paprikas was interesting. Eating your meal was good and we took the left overs home with us. Our hotel kindly reheated the soup and delicious paprika chicken that night. On return to Australia, I had a dinner party for seven and made the soup and paprika chicken, with paprika from the Budapest market.... deliciousness. Thank you

We had a great time cooking with Kata! Will highly recommend you to others wanting a fun, delicious experience in Budapest. Thank you for the recipes. It was great that Kata packed up all of our leftovers in the cute Easy Cooking backpack. We ate them all the way home on Monday. Egesegedra,

This class was definitely the highlight of my trip. Kata was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable. Exploring the market and talking to the vendors about their goods and processes was so interesting. The class itself was great; the recipes were easy-to-follow but still delicious. I really appreciated that they were easily able to accommodate the fact that I'm a vegetarian. This is a wonderful way to get a true taste of Hungary from a local.

Highly recommend this cooking class to anyone here to visit! We went as two couples and agreed it was the best activity we did town. Kata was a spectacular teacher/guide. It is a different experience to go to a market with a local guide and we highly enjoyed it. Plus you make delicious food and get to bring a tiny piece of the culture home to share.

I took a private lesson in hungry cooking. It was very interesting and I learned a lot. Kata was very friendly and made the time be great. I recommend to do a private class. Yocheved stern

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Budapest. We had an excellent tour of the local market while purchasing all the ingredients to make a typical Hungarian meal. While on the tour we tasted ,smelled and enjoyed learning about all the local foods and products available. After we went to a pleasant location and were instructed how to prepare a delicious.After the meal was complete we sat done and enjoyed one of the best dinners I had in Budapest....accompanied with fabulous wine. This is a must do!!!!

Thanks for a wonderful afternoon at easycookingbudapest. Kata was extremly helpful and involved the kids in a fantastic way. We all enjoyed the class and will highly recommend it to anyone who wants to do something relaxing and at the same time interesting in Budapest. Thanks you once against for this amazing exploration of the Hungarian kitchen. Khaleda, Shlok, Nadine & Tino Sweden

My son and I had such a great time with Kata. Lots of fun and the food was delicious. Can’t wait to try the recipes at home for the rest of the family. Taking our leftovers home for dinner the next night was perfect. Thanks Kata!!

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Kata made it very special. In advance of our arrival to meet her at the market she had met with several booth vendors to have our sausage, cheese and appetizer tastings all prepared. She had already called the cab to pick us up from the market an hour from our arrival. Very organized! She enlisted us in the preparation of each dish explaining every step of the way. The recipes were simple and DELICIOUS. Do not plan dinner reservations that evening. This was one of our favorite experiences in Budapest and we have Kata to thank for this. She is an absolute gem!

We had a wonderful time. First we got a tour of the market that included tastings. Then we went to the kitchen where we prepared a delicious meal that included appetizers, soup, main course, and dessert. I’m forgetting the wine and before dinner drink. Not only was the food good but our hostess was informative and fun. I highly recommend this tour. It is one thing to see and learn about the history of Budapest, but learning about the food and culture makes the visit perfect.

I would highly recommend this outing. We met up with our guide Tunde at the front entrance to the big market. We discovered that there was one other couple attending the class that day. What a great personal experience. We tasted foods from a variety of vendors and purchase foodstuffs to prepare. All hands on all a great experience. We made a great meal of soup, chicken, bread pudding, and a cottage cheese spread. It was all great. As I said, I'd highly recommend. One final note. To get back to the market or your hotel you will need a cab.
