ZAMA

Romanian restaurant
5/5
1 review

A great place to try local specialties, revisited with originality: delicious soups, Cluj cabbage, balmoș (mămăligă with cheeses), veal goulash, papanași... Accompanied by a good natural syrup or lemonade. The menu also features salads, pastas, grills and a whole host of à la carte breakfast proposals. What's more, prices are very reasonable. The warm, high-ceilinged dining room is a blend of vintage and industrial styles, with traditional Romanian touches.

CASA BOEMA

Romanian restaurant €€

One of Cluj's most sought-after restaurants took up residence many years ago in a 180-year-old mansion that has seen the passing of illustrious families. While the magnificent garden is busy during the summer months, the upstairs dining room, designed by Cristian Corvin, welcomes you in a warm, bohemian chic setting. On the menu, Romanian specialties rub shoulders with elaborate international cuisine. Save room for the desserts, which live up to their reputation!

RHÉDEY CAFÉ

Hungarian restaurant €€

If you're looking for a taste of traditional Hungarian cuisine, you've come to the right place! This historic building once belonged to the illustrious Rhédey family and now houses the restaurant of the same name. While soups and goulash are the stars of the menu, the other dishes are not lacking in interest. Portions are generous and service impeccable. The establishment has a loyal following among Cluj's Hungarian community, a sign of authentic cuisine. In fine weather, a pleasant terrace overlooks Piața Unirii and the Catholic Cathedral.

ROATA

Romanian restaurant €€

Romania on the walls and on the plate. Restaurant Roata ("wheel" in French) is made up of several charming little rooms, authentically decorated, with white tablecloths embroidered with red thread drawing traditional motifs, and dark wooden furniture. In terms of cuisine, we're treated to a wide range of Transylvanian specialties: varză a la Cluj, papanași, grilled meats, mămăligă, tocăniță, chicken soup with semolina dumplings, sarmale... A truly typical restaurant, at prices that remain affordable.
