Gastronomy is a Greek word meaning culinary art that encompasses the expert knowledge and refined enjoyment of food and drink. It is the art of cooking, and more broadly, the art of serving and the culture of eating itself. The 5th district offers the largest selection of delicacies, culinary delights and, if desired, the most elegant services in Budapest.
