Time Out Market Budapest is a food and cultural market that aims to bring the best of the city and the countryside together under one roof: a mix of the best chefs and restaurateurs, drinks, and cultural experiences. There are eleven culinary concepts in the first Time Out market in the CEE region, in addition to three bars, five event spaces and around 540 seats.
The Time Out Market Experience
Guests – whether they come with family, friends or on their own – can get together around communal tables to enjoy culinary and cultural experiences, surrounded by top chefs and their teams in action as they prepare everything from Sichuan Spinach and Szaletly-Style Layered Potatoes to Beef Tartare with oyster emulsion, Pizza Margherita, and more.
“Time Out Market Budapest brings a new culinary and cultural experience to Hungary, and we are excited to welcome our guests to this unique space! We spent months developing and curating Time Out Market Budapest – we tested and tasted a lot of food in our city and country to uncover the best homegrown talents. Then we invited the very best to join us to represent Budapest and Hungary as the world-class culinary destination it is. We couldn’t be more proud that such outstanding chefs and restaurateurs accepted our invitation, and to now open our doors to this unforgettable experience,” said Gergely Borsos, general manager.
“We created a space that celebrates local top talent and offers our guests a true taste of the city. We are open every day from 11.30 a.m. to 11.30 p.m., so you can come for lunch, dinner, to enjoy our cultural events or just for a drink – it’s a vibrant, fun and welcoming space, and there is something for everyone. Our mission is to make the diversity of Hungarian gastronomy accessible and affordable – with a curated selection of food, drinks and exciting programmes throughout the year,” he added.
