• Brasov’s cuisine was influenced by the gastronomy
of the others cultures that lived on this territory,
such as the ethnic Hungarians and Germans. In the
past, the territory of Romania was under Turkish rule
for hundreds of years and there are still considerable
influences. Dishes such as sarmale, mousaka,
baklava, saraigli, mititei, halva, rahat are clearly
Turkish in origin. Also, some Greek, Slavic and
French influences are felt.

This is polenta with cheese
and cream made in
shepherd style and is typical
for the Southern, Eastern
and Northern areas of the
country, for Brasov too.
Polenta with poached eggs
and fermented ewe's milk
cheese, made in country
style and in our language is
called "mamaliga"

This is how a
traditional
Romanian table
looks like... let us
show you some of
the traditional
gastronomy of our
country:

'Sarmale'; cabbage leaves stuffed with a delicious blend of minced
pork, rice, onions and herbs boiled in tomato sauce. Soups are the
starter to every meal and always contain a mixture of vegetables with
meat or pasta noodles, but usually both! One thing is sure: in Romania
you will never get hungry, as portions are large and host families are
always willingly to offer their guests more!

‘Mici' is another Romanian favorite, and many stalls selling these
sausage shaped meatballs can be found everywhere. By the roadside,
at fairs and festivals or in expensive restaurants, 'Mici' is always on
the menu. The surprising element about Romanian food is how simple
it appears but it is always bursting with flavours.

...the pickles are kept during
the winter time so that they
can be eaten in spring but
not only then.

Braised cabbage with
sausages is another favorite
meal of the Romanians and
it stands in first positions in
preferences.
Now let’s “taste” together other
specialties


…as you see, the Romanian tradition
concerning food is a very wide one...
In conclusion...
Romania has a very ample tradition in
the gastronomy domain

So, with the Romanian gastronomy
fully explored, all that is left to do is to
sit back and enjoy - 'Noroc!' (that's
Romanian for 'Cheers!')
