Debrecziner Gourmet Festival

Date: June 13–15, 2025

The first flagship event of the summer is all about gastronomy, this year at the intersection of culinary and cinematic experiences. The festival, themed around "movie-inspired dishes," will feature Hungary’s most renowned chefs — including Zoltán Pauli, Lajos Bíró, and Ádám Mészáros — inviting guests to taste flavors straight from the silver screen.

This year, Gourmet gets a fresh boost:

A new highlight is the container kitchen, an interactive venue where chefs will perform live cooking shows and offer tastings.

Adding to the culinary experience is the rotating stage concept, where several acclaimed restaurants take turns showcasing their specialties at a single venue.

A total of 23 outstanding restaurants will be featured, including the Michelin-recommended Horgonyzó Kisvendéglő, Végállomás Bistorant, Andrássy Kúria, Mák Bistro, Anyukám mondta, and Michelin-starred chef Ádám Mészáros.

Special attention will be given to guests with food sensitivities and families with children, ensuring a complete gastronomic experience for everyone.

1. June 13 – Stand-up comedy by Szomszéd Néni Produkciós Iroda

1. June 14 – Concert by Vera Tóth

1. June 15 – Performance by Balázs Bolyki and B4

Alongside the culinary delights, festivalgoers can enjoy a Kids Corner for families, the Gourmet Food Court, and a local producers’ market.
