Chef's Table - An Evening with Keve Tóth and Ádám Barna
We’re launching our new event series, Chef’s Table, where each month we put one of the Market’s kitchens in the spotlight.
Schedule
For one special evening, guests can go behind the scenes, discover the chefs’ stories, inspirations, and signature dishes — including creations not usually available at the Market — all within an exclusive gastronomic experience in an intimate setting with limited seating.
A special gastronomic experience – a Lake Balaton-inspired 5-course menu, presented together in Budapest for the very first time! Two chefs. A friendship born from a mentor–student relationship.
One extraordinary evening.
The story of Keve Tóth and Ádám Barna began in Esztergom, in the kitchen of 42 Restaurant, where Ádám worked as head chef and Keve as his sous-chef. Their professional partnership grew into friendship, and that friendship evolved into shared thinking, creativity, and inspiration. On Ádám’s recommendation, Keve later joined the team at Casa Christa in Balatonszőlős, where Ádám continues to support his work as consulting chef. Together, they regularly develop new ideas and culinary concepts.
Now, they celebrate this unique collaboration with an exclusive gastronomic evening at Time Out Market Budapest.
The menu of the evening is inspired by the world of Lake Balaton — freshness, closeness to nature, memories, and modern techniques coming together in a unique dining experience. For the first time in Budapest, presented together.
