The event is a must for those who love Hungarian gastronomy. Almost the entire list of the top Hungarian restaurants will be there; from the pearls of the countryside to those showcasing Budapest’s star chefs. Exhibitors will participate from around the country, so all the culinary pleasures that otherwise would only be accessible after quite a travel, will be available here in one place.  As a noteworthy novelty, this year’s Gourmet puts Goulash, the best-known Hungarian dish, firmly in focus. In 2013, the organisers set the aim to reach beyond and further educate the public by making it possible for them to sample the tastes from the country’s best restaurants in one location.
