Gourmet Festival And Exhibition, May 24-26

The organizers couldn’t have picked a better location for this yearly gourmet paradise – Millenáris is the best old industrial complex turned fancy park in town. (Millenáris Park is off of Lövőház Street, near Marczibányi Square, right behind Mammut shopping mall, a stone’s throw from the metro 2 stop Széll Kálmán Square on the Buda side).

Perfect fit for a gigantic picnic of a foodie-fest with confectioneries, wineries, cheese makers and artisan ice cream galore! This year the festival decided to focus on the female energies, as they named it. They will gather the most important female names from different fields; chef, pastry chefs, bakers and manufacturers. Get to know their famous ambassadors;
