Hungarian Delicacies – A Perfect Blend of Tradition and Innovation

If there is one thing in Hungary that is even better than the wonderful sights, it is the local cuisine. In recent years, Hungary has gone through a gastronomic revolution, where high-quality ingredients are used keeping Hungarian gastronomy’s long tradition. Gastronomy in Hungarian culture is characterised by both tradition and innovation, as well as creative ideas and solutions inspired by a heritage of many centuries.

August 23, 2023

As of now, Hungary has seven restaurants with one Michelin star and two restaurants with two Michelin stars in Budapest and the countryside. Hungary is also home to more than 60 restaurants that are included in the internationally renowned Michelin Guide. Owning to Hungary’s multicultural history and Eastern European influence, Budapest offers one of the most lavish dining opportunities.

Traditions of the Hungarian Gastronomy–Signature Meals

Hungarians say that they are a ‘nation of soup eaters. While in many countries, soups are relegated to mere starters, traditionally for Hungarians, if you haven’t had a bowl of soup, then you haven’t had a meal. That said, it differentiates between light vegetable soups and more substantial soups with meat and pasta. The iconic goulash and fish soups belong to the latter category and are prepared in myriad variations, both in restaurants and at home.

For mains, Hungary is proud of its stews, made from slow-cooked chicken and paprika, the signature chicken paprikash. Stuffed cabbage, cabbage rolls filled with minced meat, features in the colder months, while lecsó, Hungarian ratatouille, is popular in late summer. Traditional thick pottages can be concocted from lentils, potatoes, peas, beans, cabbage or pumpkin, served with an egg or sliced sausage, or just a slice of bread.

Gastro Festivals & Events

Most foreigners mention Hungarian cuisine among the top three attractions of the country. That’s not surprising! Hungarian cuisine is famous all over the globe and has a uniquely rich offer. It is well worth tasting the delicacies of Hungary’s various regions. While Budapest is bursting with amazing restaurants, every region has its delicious speciality and exciting gastronomic event, which is worth exploring in the autumn.

One of the symbols of the Hungarian capital is its distinctive dome of the Buda Castle, recognisable from afar. Towering above the Buda Castle Hill, which dominates the panorama along the Danube, the Buda Castle Palace is hosting one of the most prestigious wine festivals of the year, the Budapest Wine Festival. Wine lovers can taste a wide range of white and red wines and sparkling wines from renowned Hungarian wineries. South America will be the guest of honor this year, presenting its distinctive flavours and aromas. Speaking of flavours, the Gourmet Courtyard will offer a colourful array of premium dishes and fantastic meals.

Saint Martin’s Day

Celebrated on the 11th of November, Saint Martin’s Day is marked with huge feasts, as it is the last holiday before the 40-day Christmas fast. Therefore, historically, St. Martin’s Day was the day that Hungarians would cook and eat the goose they had been fattening up. As a worthy accompaniment, it is traditionally on these days that the new wines of the year are tasted for the first time. The wine-tasting is traditionally accompanied by balls, fairs, and great feasts. According to tradition, eating goose on Martin’s Day ensures wealth all year round and drinking new wine ensures good health. Wine cellars and traditional local restaurants offer special delicacies to those who wish to take this good advice. Well-known dishes include goose soup and roast goose with steamed cabbage and potato dumplings.

St. Martin’s Day Celebrations traditions are increasingly popular in all parts of the country, and the town of Bogács is no different, where excellent new wines and goose dishes will be sampled at the Martin’s Day Fair for the fourteenth time this year. Local restaurants and cellars will be offering a wide range of food and drink on this noble event. Martin’s Day is the last day before the 40 days of Advent fasting, when good and rich food and merriment are allowed. Even though fasting traditionsare no longer widely observed in the country, the traditions of St. Martin’s Day are being revived year after year.

Location: Bogács
