The best Romanian restaurants Braşov

As its name suggests, "Au chaudron", the dishes are prepared in huge cast-iron cauldrons. You'll be served hearty traditional dishes, at very affordable prices. On the menu: polenta, goulash, stewed meats... The interior is very designer, all wood. The yellow and black chairs add a little pizzazz, and the straw-hat lampshades add a touch of originality. Great value for money. The brand has a second address, based on the same principles: you'll find it at 27 rue Michael Weiss.

A must-visit address in Brașov. If you're looking for good, typically Transylvanian cuisine, this is the restaurant for you. The choice is wide and the dishes hearty: grilled meats, șnițel of chicken Saxon style, gulaș with dumplings, Angus beef stew... Here local specialties are perfectly executed and enhanced with a touch of originality. You're greeted in traditional dress, in a magnificent underground cellar with vaults sometimes whitewashed, sometimes of exposed brick. Service is meticulous.

To enter this restaurant, you have to pass under the porch of an old merchant's house: it's a nod to history when you know that Ograda cooks mainly with local produce from the Brașov region. The menu therefore gives pride of place to traditional dishes, which are beautifully served and no less tasty. Before leaving the restaurant, you can fill up your basket, as Ograda is also a delicatessen, allowing you to take a little piece of the terroir home with you. Last but not least, the service is efficient and friendly.

This restaurant, tucked away in a central alleyway, is one of the city's best addresses. The cuisine is creative and freely inspired by tradition. Chef Oana Coantă has a long-standing commitment to slow food. The local, seasonal produce is of the highest quality, very tasty, and the dishes are delicious: lettuce soup, free-range chicken, pan-fried trout... The large, vaulted dining room often hosts jazz concerts and other cultural events. Beware, this is a popular venue, especially at weekends. Reservations are recommended.
