Tapas fans, this one’s for you. In 2026, Győr is serving up a lively, hands-on tapas-making course that dives headfirst into Spain’s iconic bite-sized culture. Held at 9000 Győr, Szent István Road (Szent István út) 8, it’s designed for curious food lovers who want to learn new dishes while spending a relaxed, delicious afternoon with friends or family. If you’ve been craving something fresh and social, bring your crew and get mixing, toasting, layering, and tasting.
When and where
The workshop runs on multiple dates, including March 9, 2026, and May 6, 2026, at Szent István Road (Szent István út) 8 in central Győr. The theme on both dates is Spanish tapas, with a spread that captures the heart of casual Iberian eating: vibrant, simple, and made to share. You’ll be cooking and tasting throughout, guided through recipes that are easy to plate in small portions and pack plenty of flavor.
What you’ll make
Expect a rotating lineup that shows off how flexible tapas can be—salty, creamy, sweet, smoky, sometimes all at once. A taste of the menu:
– Avocado foam with anchovy on toast
– Mushroom, Camembert, and jamón on toast
– Roasted peppers with honey and almonds
– Tomato-braised meatballs
And more to keep your hands busy and the table full. The course keeps things achievable but polished, perfect for a home cook who wants to impress without overcomplicating dinner.
What’s included
The price covers all recipes you’ll make during the session, plus unlimited coffee, tea, and syrups to sip while you cook. You’ll leave with step-by-step instructions so you can recreate the bites at home—ideal for your next gathering or a Friday-night grazing board. Note: local prices are converted automatically on-site; no currency details were listed for the course itself.
Why tapas, why now
Tapas and pintxos are the true social glue of Spanish dining—small plates designed to be shared, to encourage conversation, to stretch an evening without weighing it down. They can be built from nearly anything that works in small portions, which is exactly the charm: a slice of cheese and cured ham here, a quick sauté of mushrooms there, a spoonful of glossy peppers topped with crushed almonds. Add a crisp toast, a drizzle of honey, a briny anchovy, and you’ve got a table that looks like a holiday any day of the week.
Perfect for groups
This course is pitched as an experience as much as a class. Think easy rhythms, lots of tasting, and the pleasure of cooking together. Bring a few friends or the family and make it a shared memory—the setup naturally lends itself to divvying up tasks and stealing bites of each other’s creations. You’ll learn tricks you can use again and again, from balancing salty-savory toppings to getting the most out of pantry staples like peppers, tomatoes, and olives.
Make a food day of it in Győr
If you’re traveling in, Győr makes it simple to turn the workshop into a mini getaway. The city center is walkable and full of character, with stays that range from riverside pensions to Baroque boutique hotels. You’ll find:
– The Amstel Swan Pension (Amstel Hattyú Panzió) just steps from the historic downtown, set on a 53,820-square-foot green riverside plot along the Mosoni-Danube. Calm setting, fast access, and plenty of options for active downtime, including sports nearby.
– Baroque Promenade Hotel**** (Barokk Hotel Promenád****) on Ányos Jedlik Street (Jedlik Ányos utca), in a protected Baroque townhouse that graced the street as early as the 1600s. Elegant double and triple rooms, including a family room, a bio room, and a Baroque suite. Each room nods to a famous local figure.
– Bolero Hotel, a classic bourgeois-style pick popular with couples, families, business travelers, and groups who like good food and live music.
– A first-class family-run pension opened in 2009, 984 feet from the historic center and a 10-minute walk from Győr’s railway station—quiet location, modern bathrooms, year-round comfort.
– Budget-friendly workers’ and transit lodging in the “city of meetings,” with 1–6-bed rooms, showers and toilets, kitchen access for every three rooms, free Wi‑Fi, free parking in a guarded lot, and laundry facilities. On the lowest level, the Dáma-Tanya Western-style pub adds a laid-back evening option, and the Dáma ABC grocery store is on hand for supplies.
Make it yours
You don’t need to be a pro to enjoy this. The format is friendly to beginners and gratifying for seasoned home cooks. Each dish is compact enough to master quickly but packed with techniques you’ll use everywhere—balancing fat and acid, layering textures, building a plate that pops. By the end, you’ll have a pocket repertoire of crowd-pleasers, along with the confidence to freestyle with whatever you’ve got in the fridge.
How to join
Pick your date—March 9 or May 6—and head to 9000 Győr, Szent István Road (Szent István út) 8. Spaces tend to go quickly for hands-on classes, so plan ahead if you’re eyeing a group spot. Come hungry, come curious, and leave with a tapas toolkit you’ll reach for all year.
