  Tips

Lunch at the famous Great Market Hall (our package includes table reservation, you can pay your meal on the spot)

• The Great Market Hall in Budapest was built in 1897, and is the most beautiful and largest of all Budapest market halls. The market hall is not only ‘Great’ in its size, but is also great in other aspects. Most importantly the market is also central, no wonder it is also called the Central Market Hall, for both of its location (5 min walk from the city centre), and the volume of trade taking place here on a daily basis. You can get all sorts of goods on the 3 floors of the Great Market Hall of Budapest: fruits, vegetables, dairy products, fantastic salamis, pickles, fresh fish, Hungarian paprika, Tokaj wines, various souvenirs, bags, clothes, pans and pots, and even home style meals, or Hungarian snacks like Langos at the upper floor food stands and eateries.

The Porcelain Museum offers a permanent exhibition and temporary shows, renewed in every season, to highlight the history of the Manufactory. Coming back from the trip to porcelain world, visitors can take pleasure in the catering facilities offered by the Apicius Restaurant and Café.

Lunch at Apicius Restaurant, Herend Porcelain Manufactory / Fogas Csárda, Tihany, Lake Balaton / Echo Restaurant, Tihany, Lake Balaton (our package includes table reservation, you can pay your meal on the spot)

• APICIUS RESTAURANT
• The restaurant is named after the celebrated Roman gourmet Apicius. It is a real culinary experience to eat dishes worthy of him in the elegant grand hall or the more intimate gallery. It is a comfortable place for 80 persons at maximum capacity. Marcus Gavius Apicius was a notorious Roman gourmet and lover of luxury who lived in the 1st century AD. He is sometimes said to be the author of the first Roman cookbook, which was actually compiled about 300 years later… He was the subject of On the Luxury of Apicius, a famous work, now lost. Evidence for the life of M. Gavius Apicius derives partly from contemporary or almost-contemporary sources but is partly filtered through the work by the Greek Apion, whose purpose was presumably to explain the names and origins of luxury foods, especially those anecdotally linked to Apicius. From these sources anecdotes about Apicius survived...

It is very important to the winery that the appropriate gastronomical context is set for the wines produced on our terroir. The Wine Mansion with its bistro and wine garden are open all year round for visitors. Their main cornerstones are freshness and regionality.
