What's on at Time Out Market Budapest

To mark the centenary of the Corvin Palace, Time Out Market Budapest is preparing a special, historically inspired anniversary menu.

The concept is based on dishes once prepared and served in the elegant Corvin Palace building some 100 years ago. Lunch menus are being created with contemporary reinvention by four key outlets at the Market: Szaletly, Casa Christa, Canteen and LIRA by Essência. These special anniversary menus are being offered by each restaurant for one week during March, so guests can taste different dishes each visit.

The Corvin 100 menu consists of three courses – soup, main course and dessert – complemented by coffee and a drink, water, beer or tonic. The price of the entire menu is Ft 6,900 (€18.30), which includes the service charge.

In addition to the regular weekday lunch combo, this special three-course menu is available Monday through Friday from March 2-27 between 11.30am and 3.30pm.

On Saturday, March 28, Time Out Market Budapest celebrates the centenary of the opening of the legendary Corvin Palace with a mega late-night party. As a DJ spins the hits of decades gone by get into the spirit with a free anniversary 1926 cocktail, echoing the elegance of Budapest's Silver Age of the 1920s.

For this evening only, the Market will be open until 1am, with the full range of food and drink served. Kitchens stay open until 10pm, so everyone can indulge on this special occasion.

To mark the centenary, the Market Spirit Bar is preparing a special, dedicated cocktail. Experience the lights, rhythms and seduction of cosmopolitan Budapest between the wars: exotic promises of distant destinations beckon within the Corvin Palace. The 1926 cocktail, available throughout March, evokes this Silver Age, created from a mixture of sun-ripened passion fruit, silky rum and warm cinnamon, the perfect choice for any festive occasion. The cocktail is suitably priced at Ft 1,926 (€5.10).

In March, one of the most legendary varieties of Hungarian wine, Bull's Blood, will be in the spotlight at Time Out Market Budapest. Four defining wineries will be arriving from Szekszárd and Eger, and the series will conclude with an exciting blind tasting.

The flagship of Hungarian red wines, Bull's Blood is made from a blend of several grape varieties, the backbone of which is usually Kékfrankos, accompanied by Kadarka, Merlot or Cabernet. It is a spicy, fruity, complex wine whose character varies with each winemaker.

Szekszárd and Eger interpret the same wine style in two ways: the former is rounder, fruitier and silkier; the latter is tighter, spicier and cooler in character. Guests can taste this difference throughout March.
