If you would like to try the Romanian traditional cuisine we recommend

  • Traditional meat platter cold & hot

  • Sarmale (minced meat rolled in pickled cabbage or grape vines)

  • Fasole cu ciolan (Beans with smoked meat)

  • Mici (similar to kebabs)

  • Tochitura (Polenta with pieces of meat and tomato sauce)

  • Bulz (sheep cheese covered in polenta, formed into a ball and grilled)

  • Papanasi (fresh doughnuts covered in jam and cream)

If you have a vegan diet the easiest way to spot the things on the menu you can eat is under the phrase ‘de post’ or ‘mancare de post’. In our religion there are some periods where people have to eat a vegan diet and it makes it easier to differentiate.
