The story
Gourmet Festival Budapest in Budapest
Evolving from the earlier Buda Gourmet event after 2011, the Gourmet Festival at Millenaris Park, run for years by organizer Richard Nemes, has grown into Budapest's premier culinary showcase, built in its early years around single reinvented Hungarian dishes like goulash and later around broader themes ranging from women in Hungarian gastronomy to countryside cuisine, with Michelin-starred chefs and international guests among its exhibitors.
The Gourmet Festival in Budapest grew out of an earlier event known as Buda Gourmet, evolving after 2011 into a larger showcase for Hungarian chefs, restaurants and culinary personalities staged at Millenaris Park in Buda, organized for years under chief organizer Richard Nemes, who entered the gastronomy world originally as a wine advisor, and carried in recent editions under the sponsorship name MBH Bank Gourmet Fesztival.
