THE OYSTER
Péter Szabó to the AK Lab – the one and only original Hungarian OYSTER SOMMELIER!
A 6-piece oyster tasting – combined with an educational workshop – followed by a 3-course seafood dinner tailored to the theme of the evening. The entire event will be accompanied by a drink selection featuring Hungarian, gold medal-winning Magnum champagnes!
Expect an evening full of flavor and learning!
