Change language:

Budapest will soon be home to Time Out Market – the food and cultural market that brings the best of the city together under one roof: a curated mix of the best local and home-grown chefs, restaurateurs, drinks and cultural experiences.

Time Out Market Budapest is set to open in 2025 at Corvin Palace at Blaha Lujza Square. The historic department store first opened in 1926 and has recently been renovated back to its original neoclassical state and redeveloped as a mixed-use real estate property offering retail, leisure and a hotel.

Across around 25,000 sq ft indoors on the first floor and a further 9,000 sq ft outdoors on the rooftop, Time Out Market Budapest will feature 14 kitchens, four bars, one event space and around 800 seats. There will be plenty of space to celebrate outstanding culinary and cultural talents – all of them will be local and home- grown from Budapest and the wider region. Guests will be able to enjoy food from award-winning chefs, much-loved local gems and up-and-coming restaurateurs, sip a variety of drinks including cocktails from the most creative mixologists and experience culture and entertainment from rising local talents.

While Time Out Market is dedicated to showcasing the best of the city, its philosophy is to make top, home- grown culinary and cultural experiences accessible for all, with guests coming together at communal tables in a uniquely designed space.

Making the people of the city feel at home and a close connection with the city is at the heart of the Time Out Market philosophy which is dedicated to working with local companies and suppliers. As a meaningful addition to the neighbourhood, it will bring significant contribution to the local economy through employment across a variety of skills and new opportunities for home-grown talent.

To curate a Time Out Market, the team will come up with a list of the types of cuisines that make a city the vibrant culinary destination it is to then curate a list of the leading, most exciting and most aspirational local representatives in these cuisines. Part of this process is to try and test to find the best of the city right now and then invite the very best to join. But this is not just about ‘big names’; the city’s up-and-coming chefs and much-loved local gems will also be proudly featured.

  1. Recent Weeks in Lisbon, Portugal.
    We lunched and visited Time-Out, in the Old Market Pavilion.
    Spectacular, and the choice of food, quite “mind-boggling”.
    Cost wise high price ranges, but sea-food in particular, variety and choice, as opposed to Budapest, was delicious.
    We Super-market shop in the recently renovated Corvin Department Store, at the recently renovated Blaha Lujza ter.
    Hope it’s a success and taken to by the citizens of Budapest and Hungary and Tourist.
