Experience Brașov through a Journey of Taste and Tradition: The Ultimate Brasov Food Tour

Embark on a one-of-a-kind culinary adventure in Brașov, the first and only food tour Brasov of its kind in the region. This immersive journey takes you through the heart of Romania’s gastronomic heritage, offering a blend of traditional flavours, cultural stories, and picturesque mountain views.

A Taste of Tradition in Every Bite

Our food tour is a 4–5-hour experience that combines history, culture, and flavour. Starting in a bustling local market, you’ll savour artisan cheeses crafted with care by traditional farmers. From the creamy to the tangy, each cheese tells a story of the surrounding hills and valleys.

Next, step back in time with a stop at a local eatery that feels like a portal to the 1980s. Situated near the city’s railway station, this restaurant has remained largely unchanged since its opening, preserving its original wooden bar, retro décor, and the nostalgic charm.

The clientele reflects the setting: gentlemen of a certain age, impeccably dressed in shirts and sweaters or even suits, who seem to have stepped out of a different era. It’s a scene of quiet camaraderie, where tradition and authenticity reign.

Here, you’ll savour some of the most beloved dishes from Brașov’s culinary heritage. Imagine the smoky aroma of freshly grilled sausages (locally called: “mititei”, or “mici”), their sizzle mingling with the chatter of regular patrons, paired perfectly with a crisp, locally brewed beer. This isn’t just a meal—it’s a sensory journey into Romania’s gastronomic past, waiting for you to discover it in our food tour Brasov.

Into the Mountains for a Feast of Flavours

The journey continues into the breathtaking Carpathian Mountains, where you’ll visit a charming shepherd’s retreat turned gourmet restaurant. Here, the true spirit of Romanian mountain cuisine shines. Indulge in delicious food tour Brasov by discovering traditional dishes like sarmale (cabbage rolls), bulz (smoked grilled polenta with cheese), and the rich, tender carne la garnita (slow-cooked meat in its own fat), all of which are specialties of the mountain region. These dishes, along with the locally crafted cheeses, reflect the authentic flavours and traditions of our area. To finish, enjoy the indulgent sweetness of papanași (traditional doughnuts with sour cream and jam).

After enjoying the hearty dishes at the shepherd’s retreat, we’ll take a short optional walk through Poiana Brașov, Romania’s most famous ski resort. It’s the perfect way to stretch your legs and take in the fresh mountain air while discovering a different side of this charming destination. On the way back, we’ll also stop at a breathtaking viewpoint, called “Belvedere”, offering a panoramic view of Brașov—an unforgettable moment to capture the beauty of the city and its surroundings.
