Time Out Market Budapest kicks off the year with foodie highlights and brand-new event series!
February brings a vibrant mix of gastronomic and cultural experiences to Time Out Market Budapest. To celebrate the Chinese New Year, restaurants will introduce special new dishes, while wine enthusiasts can discover exciting selections as part of Furmint February.
Naturally, Valentine’s Day specials will also be available, and the season’s beloved classics—carnival doughnuts—will return to the counters. The recently launched weekly lunch menu continues to strengthen the weekday offering, while a brand-new event series debuts: through an exclusive gastronomic evening, visitors will have the chance to get to know the Market’s restaurants more closely, starting with Casa Christa, which is preparing a dedicated menu for the occasion.
The cultural programme will be enriched by Art & Sip events in collaboration with Apollo Gallery. With this diverse February lineup, Time Out Market Budapest promises culinary discovery, inspiring cultural encounters, and a vibrant community atmosphere—setting the perfect tone for the year ahead.
Time Out Market Budapest opened its doors less than four months ago in the iconic Corvin Palace on Blaha Lujza Square, and it has already become one of the city’s most popular gastronomic and cultural meeting points. As the first Time Out Market to debut in the Central and Eastern European region, the Budapest location brings together gastronomy, drink culture, music, and creative experiences under one roof: eleven kitchens, three bars, five event spaces, and around 540 seats welcome visitors across nearly 2,500 square metres.
The Market’s local experts carefully curate every programme to ensure accessible, high-quality experiences for everyone—whether they come for food, culture, or music. Guests can enjoy a wide selection of flavours and a buzzing atmosphere at communal tables, while Time Out Market Budapest offers a year-round lineup of concerts, DJ sets, wine tastings, themed events, and family-friendly programmes—among which the following highlights showcase February’s offerings.

19 February 2026: Art&Sip by Time Out Market x Apollo Gallery
Time Out Market Budapest has recently launched a new cultural programme series called Art&Sip, held approximately every six weeks. The first edition took place at the end of January. The aim of the series is to periodically highlight the work of the currently exhibiting artist from the Apollo Gallery, located in Corvin Palace.
Carefully selected artworks are installed in The Vault room at the Market, giving visitors an intimate look at the artist’s world. The exhibiting artist is present at each Art&Sip event, giving guests the chance to meet them in person. Each edition also features a limited, event-exclusive cocktail available only at the Spirit Bar, drawing visual and conceptual inspiration from the exhibiting artist’s style.
Daniella Tóth, Managing Director of Apollo Gallery, summarised the initiative: “Through the Art&Sip series, our goal is to select artworks together with our artists and curator that extend the experience of the Apollo Gallery’s current exhibitions into the Time Out Market. The selection installed in The Vault offers visitors a preview, and if the pieces spark their curiosity, they can further explore the exhibition at our gallery located in Corvin Palace. On 3 February 2026, we open our new exhibition titled ‘What We Preserve, What We Pass On’, and throughout the month, guests at the Market will also be able to see a selection of works. The next Art&Sip event will take place on 19 February at 6pm.”
