Chefparade is a ’hands-on’ cooking school. This means every customer is participating actively in the process as they follow our chefs’ instructions. We believe cooking is a creative and constitutive activity that is fun, gives relaxing and brings together. The philosophy behind Chefparade is that cooking is not a mystery, cooking is not belonging just to selected few. We try to open gates to new recipes and new cuisines. We are a knowledge center, we are a pool of ambassadors of many different professional and hobby chefs. Our objective is to transfer the enjoyment of cooking to our Clients: learn together, eat good food together, have fun together and make sure our recipes work at home too.

Cooking is hands-on, with each pair preparing the full menu in small batches. Our cooking sessions typically last about 3 to 4 hours with around 10 participants. The menu includes 3 to 7 courses/dishes. The food can be enjoyed during the session or taken home in small containers.

You can come alone, but it is recommended to come with a friend since we mostly cook in pairs.

Open courses are limited to groups of up to 4 friends. Larger private groups are required to book their own event with a preferred date, time, and menu.

Although the maximum total number of participants for the course is 10, based on our past experiences, groups of 5 or more, where people know each other well, may not necessarily lead to a good dynamic in the class. Even with the calmest groups, the remaining participants may feel uncomfortable, thinking they are intruding on a private gathering. For more than this number of participants, you can request a quote for private events through our website."

We are unable to provide companion or spectator tickets, so please plan the course so that only registered participants can attend the course/location. Children under 12 years old or infants cannot accompany you as the course can be dangerous for them without supervision, and no one will have the capacity to take care of them during the course.

The participation fee includes all necessary ingredients and equipment, apron usage, one drink, and e-recipes - so you don't need to bring anything to the class. Your reservation is managed online, so you don't need to bring a confirmation or voucher with you, but it's good to have our confirmation email handy, which you can show before the class.

Using your own ingredients and equipment during the class is not permitted.

We recommend our adult courses for adults, but children aged 12 and above are welcome to join with an adult depending on the difficulty level of the course. In this case, the participation fee is charged at full price for both individuals.

We kindly ask you to take our suggestion seriously and not register underage children for adult courses without prior consultation, as we cannot take responsibility for them during the course. It is possible that they may not reach the counter, so we reserve the right to refuse entry to underage participants without an adult!

Adult course rates (HUF):
1 person / session = 20,990,
1 person / 2 sessions or 2 people / session = 39,990,

During the course, all participants can enjoy unlimited still and sparkling water, and each guest receives their first drink (1 glass of wine, 1 bottle of beer, or 1 soft drink) for free. Any additional drinks consumed based on the drink menu will be paid for after the course with our chef, or you can purchase an unlimited drink package for 4,990 HUF with unlimited consumption before the class. If you already have an unlimited drink package or purchase one on-site, then during the course, beer, wine, and soft drinks can be consumed without limit. For detailed prices, please see the current drink menu at the venue.

Our cooking course calendar is regularly updated approximately 6 to 8 weeks in advance. We believe this timeframe allows most people to plan ahead comfortably. Our courses run on weeknights and weekends throughout the year, including summer weeks.

If there are no available spots in one of our courses or if the timing isn't suitable, you can subscribe to the course notification mailing list. This way, you will receive an email notification when we announce a new date. You can also achieve the same by subscribing to categories, locations, or specific chefs in your personal profile, ensuring you don't miss out on the next opportunity. By subscribing to the course notifications, we will also send you an email if a spot opens up in one of our already scheduled classes

If you would like to book one person using a voucher and another person using a credit card for the same course, you can initiate the payment with two separate bookings. Of course, in this case, you will still be paired together during the course.

We can accept cancellations of registrations more than 10 days before the course. Please notify us of your cancellation intention by email at hello@chefparade.hu. If you need to cancel within 10 days of the course, please find someone else to take your place on the booked date, as the course is transferable to another person.

Similar to cancellations, transferring registration is possible only at least 10 days before the course. Transfer requests must be submitted in writing to hello@chefparade.hu.

Purchasing a voucher requires registration, which can be done in the 'Voucher' section. Vouchers are not specific to any particular course; they are blank coupons, so the owner (the recipient) can decide which course and when to use them within one year from the date of purchase.

Upon registration, you can buy one or more vouchers. All the vouchers carry a unique code and they all are being stored in your profile. If you want to give them to somebody as a gift, you should click on „offer as a gift” button at your profile, then you can add personal note and dowload as a PDF or alternatively you come to our office at Bécsi út Chefparade, and pick up a pre-printed voucher and envelop. 

Our vouchers are for "blank" vouchers, valid for one year - the recipient can choose which course he or she wants to go. If you would like to gift a specific course on a specific date, you can find a pdf link in the confirmation e-mail.
