The Kempinski Corvinus Kitchen kicks off the winter season with bird specials, bringing our culinary expertise straight to your doorstep: we now deliver so you can enjoy top restaurant-quality food in the comfort of your own home without the work and the hassle.

Duck Luck Party

Feeding ducks for food dates back to ancient China, where this web-footed bird’s tender and succulent meat entered the global culinary tradition. To this day, the best ducks are said to come from Beijing in China and Rouen in France. From November 11 through December 23, we deliver free of charge* to your home a full meal for two, a whole 1.8 kg roasted Hungarian duck in its own sauce with apple, red cabbage and potato dumplings, for HUF 16,500.

Get your teeth into geese

Duck’s larger relative, this web-footed bird was already popular in ancient China, Egypt and India. The Romans especially appreciated geese: in the 4th century BC, geese gaggle signaled an imminent enemy Gaul attack. In the culinary tradition, the French gave the world delicacies such as foie gras and confit, and many European cultures serve goose for Christmas. The Kempinski Corvinus Kitchen’s goose is fair fare for four: a 3.6 kg goose roasted, in its own sauce with apple, red cabbage and potato dumplings, for HUF 28,500, which includes free delivery* to your home. This special is available between November 11 and December 23.

Turkey time

Thanksgiving dinner is turkey, the native bird of Northern and Central America – the Aztecs already enjoyed its white meat, which the Europeans took to as they conquered the Americas. Allow us to help you mark this truly family occasion for your nearest and dearest and leave the cooking to the Kempinski Corvinus Kitchen: between November 22 an 26, we deliver your turkey to your home free of charge*, prepared and ready to serve.
