Amazing food, very delicious, quite large portions. We also got some starters free of charge. Staff is very polite, great communication. Prices are acceptable. Ambient is nice and pleasent.

The food was great, but even better were the staff. My waiter helped me when I asked if he could recommend a quick dish because I had to catch a bus, and he recommended the Transylvanian soup, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The dish was brought out so fast, yet it was hot and comforting. The restaurant also gave me an interesting free dish of roasted pork on the house. I felt very well taken care of. The atmosphere of the restaurant, despite being in a basement, is not dingy but can be quite romantic. Fastest service ever, I like it!

If there's one phrase I would use to describe this place, it would be this: attention to detail. Nothing is left to chance, everything is taken care of so that the guests can enjoy the best experience possible. Just a few examples, which might seem random but are signs of the attention to detail I love to see in establishments: - the complimentary entree & bread - the bathroom, clean and with modern appliances - if you ask for the leftovers to go, they bring it in a sealed container Moreover, all the staff is not only incredibly nice, but also highly trained and professional.

Amazing atmosphere and super friendly service. It seems a very traditional restaurant. They have a very good food. It was super delicious. The quality of food, the speed of service was top. I liked the desserts a lot. Definitey one of the best I had in Romania as a tourist. Definitey recommended

The food was excellent but the service was quite bad. We were able to find a seat quite easily and were welcomed warmly. But unfortunately, we waited a long time to grab the attention of the waiters to place an order. The food came quickly and was very tasty. But the long wait at every stage turned what could have been a very pleasant experience, into quite a frustrating experience.

Fabulous restaurant. Excellent table service by motivated waiter. Made to feel very welcome despite not speaking any Romanian. Food perfectly cooked and wonderfully presented at an affordable price. Highchair supplied so can accept the whole family.

Amazing underground restaurant. Food was delicious, staff was very friendly and service was fast. Perfect place to dive in Romania cuisine in a traditional way

Nice resturant, located in the old town. When you enter the resturant you need to go throgh 20 steps underground. There is a romanian band ( folklore) during the night with dancing and too loud music. The menu is nice but there is no "mititei" in the menu. Slow service, the food is very tasty. Expansive for what you get. No parking in the area.

A fantastic restaurant in Brasov, if you want to try traditional Romanian food (with some twists). We had dinner on two consecutive nights (so you can guess how much wr liked the food and ambience). The restaurant is situated in a cellar of a big Saxon building near the city centre. The ambience was very different. The staff (all dressed in traditional Romanian dresses) were friendly. The service was prompt. We started off with the traditional palinka shot while we wete srved complementary pork fries and bread. We then had proceeded to have stuffed schnitzel, stuffed pork tenderloin and bulz. The food was delicious, and the portions were generous. The second night, we tried the steak. Though we wanted it rare to medium, some parts were a bit too done. For the side we had the peasant potatoes, which was very nice, and a welcome break from American fries. Definitely recommend this restaurant if you are staying at Brasov.

Authentic Romanian cuisine. Vegetarian friendly, so a must-go if you want to try the local cuisine. We ordered: 2 x Polenta with Mushrooms 1 x Polenta with Cabage 1 x Baked potatoes with dill & garlic 1 x Breaded hard cheese Enough for 5 adults (and more). They serve delicious fresh bread at the table. The garlic dill sauce is a must. I would have ordered the fries instead of the baked potato, and added a salad, so that there was some kind of crunch in the meal as everything else is “soft”.

Great restaurant with a lot of seating space so we did not have to wait much for getting a table without reservations. The food is really good and the service is good too. They have a lot of food and drink options which are very traditional. Even the menu in Romanian uses the old Romanian language. They served some fried pork belly with onions as a welcome snack on the house. The pickles were very delicious and had an interesting assortment of vegetables including a pickled pear which was quite tasty. The restaurant had some live music and dancing for the new year celebrations which made it a nice restaurant experience. Would definitely recommend more than other places in the area.

Everything was really well cooked and tasty, the space is decorated very simply and traditional Romanian. The portions were good, and you are given delicious pork rinds and beautiful bread on arrival. We had stuffed cabbage leaves with polenta, pork sirloin with smoked bacon, mushrooms and brown vegetable sauce, also beetroot with horseradish. Really good quality - would definitely recommend a visit whilst in Brasov

This place came highly recommended by locals. We followed the wait staff recommendations. Of the Bulz (egg) which was excellent, and the wild boar dish (phenomenal, especially with nuts and cranberries). And added side dish of potatoes also excellent. It’s a big place but not everyone is in one room so it isn’t loud like some other places of similar size. The staff was phenomenal. But they were very busy as expected. Not their fault just be patient. We ordered some traditional plum brandy spirits aperitifs while we waited to be seated and waited for the food. There was also some traditional entertainment of song and dance (with the hat for money afterwards). Overall an excellent experience, highly recommend.

Best traditional Transylvanian food in Brasov. It is also preferred by the locals.They also bring fried pork pieces on the house! Do not miss it.

we came here attracted by the many positive reviews, I must admit that expectations were far and away satisfied. we took two traditional dishes with a side of potatoes. the products were first choice and cooked simply. we took an ursus which I recommend to accompany everything. grand finale with papanasi. the various options of completely optional tips were indicated in the bill, you mark with a red pen whether you want to leave tips and in what percentage.

This is one of the iconic and must-go places in Brașov. The place is great, they have some of the best food options as all meat products are home-made. Appreciate that even after all these years they kept the good habit to serve greaves (jumări) on the house. Back in the day they served heated, now these are cold, but appreciate the gesture. Food I would say is the best quality-price ratio in Brașov and great food options. They ended up serving home matured beef, a huge plus. The food is great, the papanași are very good, and the service is great. Drinks are at quite a high price, maybe the only minus, but would expect this for a restaurant in Brașov. Atmosphere is of a fast food restaurant as there are a lot of people coming and going, sometimes and be a little annoying. But this shows that people appreciate the place. All in all, a place to always come back to, highly recommend!

This restaurant totally exceeded our expectations. We were seated next to the window, and enjoyed the beautiful view. The waiter was very nice, always with a smile on his face and very attentive to what we needed without seeming disturbed at any moment. The food looked very good and tasted delicious. I totally recommend it, we will surely be coming back to this restaurant when in Brașov.

This place is definitely a must! It is welcoming, professional service and the food not only looks amazing but it is also very tasty! Everything we ordered was great and portion is big enough. Prices might look a little high but here at least it is worth it! Definitely will visit every time I return to Brașov and will recommend to everyone! Tip: Check each category of the menu, you may surprised to find something good in an unexpected category!

First off, the food is great and in perfect portion sizes. I would say the food is a bit different from traditional Romanian food, I would say, like others do, that it's slightly re-imagined. The atmosphere is quite strong and warm yet light, depends on what table you're sitting at, but the design is great all around the restaurant. Somehow, considering how spectacular and refined the dishes are, they arrive extremely quickly, it's hard to comprehend how they do that. The staff are very nice. Would come here again

Amazing place and tastiest Romanian dishes. Just amazing 🍻 The staff has a very nice attitude regarding families with small children being very helpful and careful all the time. Big up!

Overall a great experience. We ordered a few appetizers, mains and desserts. Highly recommend the parfait of chicken liver. the duck leg and breast were equally tasty. Service was excellent thanks to Andreea.

This place is amazing, you can get there by walking in a beautiful area with forest. As you walk in you are welcome by some nice waiters, who lead you to the table ( you don’t need a reservation ). Inside you will see, a lots of plants, which give you a nice feeling and a relaxing environment. Big windows with an awesome view to the city Brasov. Waiters are very politely and helpful with everything. Food is just unbelievable, they take romanian food and they transformed it into a work of art both in term of taste and appearance. Everything is delicious and looks very good. Price are veryy good and the quantity of food is large.

A super nice restaurant with berry cozy and stylish atmosphere tucked in the hillside of town. Service was very attentive, selection of drinks and food also excellent. We loved the peaceful atmosphere. Czell beer was a Great Choice.

Book in advance and get a table by the window - you will get great views of the city. Nice setting, elegant vibe, no need for a particular attire, though. During weekends it's quite crowded, so be sure to make a reservation. Good service. The food is traditional Romanian with a twist. Large portions, above average prices.

After a 4hour walk up and down Tampa, this was the best place to be. Service was spotless, there was water for our four legged companion, great food, prompt, lovely and lively service, there were nice drinks and, to repeat myself, there was GREAT food. I fully recommend any of the soups and no need to stop there.

I would start by saying that we've had a great experience. Tasty food and nice atmosphere. We were there for an anniversary and we enjoyed every single moment. The service is also one of the highlights of this restaurant. I would recommend to put this place on your "must do while in Brașov". I took one single picture of the appetizers, but it already can give you a good hint.

This restaurant exceeded our expectations on all points. The food was excellent, the presentation, atmosphere and service were outstanding. Highly recommend. Beautiful scenery and decor as well.

We had a super nice experience at this restaurant 😊. It was on my "to visit" list for a long time. The price range mentioned was for an appetizer, two main courses, a dessert, a bottle of wine and the water. What I want to mention is also that the portions are huge (or at least we felt like we ordered too much), but the food is absolutely amazing, and also the service was great.

Really tasty! Not cheap at all, but at least the portions are large. I highly recommend the duck breast. Hot chocolate is also yummi, in case you decide not to taste one of the many wines from the menu.

We had a fantastic evening here with friends. The food was great, they also have some good and refreshing cocktails. Service was top.

Wonderful experience, the service was impecabile, the food - a unique blend of tastes. Our waiter Andrei was a delightful person, a true gentleman, and gives great recommendations. Overall we rate everything 10+/10

We chose this restaurant for a weekend dinner while visiting Braşov and I can only say that we will never regret it. We were welcomed by super friendly staff, and enjoyed and amazing view of the city. The food came fast and was absolutely delicious. Recommend the Romanian tapas mix

Every meal we have ordered were really delicious and amazing. The service and the ambiance, musics were really good. I would definitely recommend here. Prices and the portions also were very good.

Excelent food, ambiance and view over the city. The restaurant is elegant and refined. I would recommend if you want to spemd quality time and enjoy food.

You can't fault the excellent reviews... The food is exquisite. It's among the best 3 restaurants in have eaten in this price class. Perfectly plated dishes, great combinations... Flavors complimenting each other.... Combine that to a perfect atmosphere and impeccable service. And you have a perfect restaurant.... I made it a point to visit this restaurant. (the nearby Cable Car was closed on Monday). They did not dissapoint... I am a vegetarian... And am used to not having many options especially in restaurants in Europe.. They too didn't have very many... But it makes no difference if you aren't a regular. I had a great time... And even ordered dessert... Even though I was pretty full after the starter (I know I am repeating myself, but this was the star of the show) and the main dish. Glad that I ordered the traditional dessert... Hot plate pudding with ice-cream... Was exceptional too. To finish off I want to thank " Anji " for the wonderful service, suggesting dishes... And her patience with our little kid. Definitely visit when you come to Brasov.!!!

We spent three days in Brasov and in all three we ate here. The food is amazing and it is definitely worth a trip here. Fair prices. Book in advance especially for evenings or weekend days. Check out their daily menu as well. Full of tasty surprises.

Had researched this one before we arrived. It lived up to and exceeded our expectations. The cod and potato pancake was delicious as was the chicken. Portion sizes were perfect, leaving room for dumplings as dessert. Wait staff were fabulous and the wine list amazing. More than than to recommend this place, pop it on your list.

If you want to try something different, go with the tomato soup. The cheese salad is the queen of the menu and the beef pasta is adding a plus of taste. However, the service would benefit from a customer focused training. Prices are on the high side.

Bistro de l'Arte offers a very enjoyable dining experience, with an ever changing menu. Food is sometimes complex, sometimes refreshingly simple and always full of flavour. Service is top notch. A weak point would be the rarity of vegetarian, not to mention vegan, options - better check the menu ahead of time or ask.

This cozy restaurant is located in the center of Brasov, hidden in the streets. We found it by accident and did not lose! It was a wonderful experience. We ordered onion soup and penne beef. It was delicious. Good, friendly service. Cool, not crowded location. Large selection of wines. Prices are above average. Cocktails are quite expensive (38-50lei). An interesting point is that every day the restaurant has a different menu.

Great place to eat, food is well priced and good, good wine list. I suggest that you just go there and see if you can find a table since when we called to make a reservation they said they had nothing available, but we decided to try our luck anyway and it worked. Between the lamb and beef burger, pick the beef burger.

The food was amazing, creative and delicious.Yummy indeed! Staff was nice, friendly and professional. Cozy atmosphere, great food, we will visit again for sure! 😊

We had a lovely experience here. We ordered the beef with pappardelle and the chicken with mashed potatoes. Both plates were amazing. The service also was very good, explanatory and polite. It’s definitely recommended, we will try to come again!

The cocktails were amazing. Mine were pretty sweet but that's what I like. My party had other drinks and everyone was happy with their choices. I would say this place is more upscale and you can tell. There is also live piano music. And there's a variety of paintings available to buy, and in the middle there's a jewelry section with handcrafted jewelry. Just make sure to bring cash to purchase the jewelry and the art. The vibe of the place is lovely; jazzy and romantic. Great place for a special date.

4.4 stars ;-). Very nice Location, no free table outside and a bit warm inside. Service in the beginning was very good but during our stay we had to wait to place our orders and became thirsty. Food was good/very good. Salad with chicken ok (but meat was really dry), chicken with polenta very good. Desserts chocolate cake and sweet were noodles very good. So a honest feedback: clear recommendation for a visit and some room for improvement for the service.

Creativity & quality I wanted to eat here for quite some time and I booked a table a week before my visit to Brasov. The restaurant is small and cozy and it gives you a familiarity feeling once inside. The personnel is nice, relaxed and smiling and they offered assistance in choosing the dishes. They offer a standard menu and a menu of the day. We opted for dishes from both menus and we were very happy with choices. What I liked most was the creativity in mixing the ingredients, which gave a special savor to the final dish. It was a re-invented Romanian food experience. It is rare for me to eat in a restaurant and discover that the dishes have got all they need, there’s nothing missing. In Bistro del Arte I found a very balanced food, very well cooked and with quality ingredients. Booking needs to be done in advance. Great job!

In a week we went to this restaurant three times and it was honestly so good every single time. Exceptional soups, both traditional and international cuisine dishes with a creative twist. Not as heavy as purely traditional dishes. Not overpriced. Lovely atmosphere and great staff. Note: it is full close to always (for a good reason) so it is always better to call and book in advance

The food was amazing! Very tasty and also very creative (some very tasty combinations). We tried the ocotpus, pasta with beef and truffle and some soups. Also desserts are very good. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Totally recommand.

Exquisite food!! Been meaning to write a review for a long time. I had a savoury pancake with some eggs and it was amazing. 10/10 would recommend!!

Incredible food & service- highly highly recommend if you’re after a solid Romanian feed. Only small downside was the Bloody Mary which was quite watery and barely had any tomato juice so all I could taste was vodka, but the waitress was very accomodating when I asked for some more tomato juice which made it a lot better.

Delicious food (pasta with salmon, pasta with beef = super tasty!), lovely atmosphere, great service, friendly & helpfull staff, live music on the piano during evenings. I highly recommend the restaurant. We will return here for sure.

Very tasty food with top ingredients and very good service. On the downside i found it a bit pricy and it took too long to get the food. Disappointed that there were none of the great looking pastas on the menu.

Good service, menu selection, atmosphere and quality of food. The bread on the burger was a little dry but the avocado salad was very tasty. I also recommend the chicken fingers and pizzas. They also have good Romanian wines.

Very tasty. Amazing dinner. We ordered pasta, burgers, appetizers and desserts. Everything was 10 out of 10. Price is for everyone. But I think this place run till 22:00 because the waiter told us we should order quick and google misleading. But very friendly.

The food was fantastic, but the service was a letdown. We waited over 20 minutes for our drinks and we had to go to the bar and inquire about our drinks. Despite the pleasant atmosphere, the service glitch needs attention. Consider reevaluating staff or improving their compensation.

This restaurant would be a great place if it wouldn’t take so long to get your food. I’ve been to this place several times and it was always very busy during the day (not to mention how it is in the evening). Despite they clearly see large amount of people coming there every day (I’m now talking about summer-September season - it’s very possible there will be less people later before skiing starts), somehow they were not able to speed up things in the kitchen. The food is really good, wine list is also ok. Deserts are just excellent, and waiters are quite nice. So if you’re not in a hurry, I would recommend to visit this place. Just don’t go there if you’re very hungry, you risk to wait another 40-50 min before you get the first course.

Beautiful restaurant, delicious food and friendly staff.

Nice food, but the staff? Oh boy the staff. Let's play a game. What do you do if you make a mistake on a customer's order? A. You apologize, go back and get the right order for them Or B. Blame the customer and have a go at them to their face, because clearly they are responsible for YOUR mistake. Considering the two star review, I'll give you one guess as to which approach the staff here have used. Story time: visited Brașov with three other people, and decided to dine here as the place has good reviews and a large variety of dishes to choose from. We sat down, and since the menu was quite expansive and my friends didn't know much about the local dishes, we needed some time to order. The first server comes around and we ask for 5 more minutes. They show up again not 30 seconds later, to which we say the same thing, that we just need 5 more minutes. More than 10 minutes passed, with no one coming to serve us, so I went inside to say we were ready to order, as I figured they were just giving us more time. The supervisor says to me "I already sent someone 2 or 3 times and you didn't order!" Ohhh kay? That was a bit rude but whatever. A waitress who seemed really nice at first, came around and took our orders. None of my friends speak Romanian, and even though the waitress spoke English, I helped translate for them out of politeness. Among other things, we asked for one small sparkling water, and one large regular water. When she brought the drinks, she mixed the bottles bringing plain instead of sparkling water and vice versa. When she returned with the right things, she said to me something along the lines of: "From now on let me speak to the others, because you created confusion. I speak English too, you know." From her tone and the words she used it was clear she was blaming me for her mistake. Minutes later the supervisor comes around with some food, and as he was serving the plates, he accidentally hit me in the eye with one of them. He says "I'm sorry, but you turned your head into the plate". Right. Keep in mind I didn't even challenge him or complain, I just stayed quiet but he really felt the need to point out it was my fault. We had ordered our food with 3 Truffle Mashed Potatoes as a side, which never arrived. I still lament the loss of my glorious mashed potatoes. After having the food with no sides, we felt full and decided not to inquire about the sides, since we'd probably be blamed for that too. When the waitress brought the bill they were on there, to which I explained they never arrived. She was visibly annoyed as she went back to change the bill, and when she returned, guess what, IT WAS MY FAULT FOR THIS MISTAKE TOO! She says "why didn't you say anything about the sides, now you got me in trouble". Oh I don't know, is it because you were rude af and I didn't want to deal with you? Food was getting cold so we just ate it as it was. I'm sure her supervisor gave her a lot of grief for what were simple mistakes on a busy Saturday night, which accounted for some of her anger. It seems like a very toxic place to work in. Nevertheless, It's not acceptable to treat a customer like this, especially considering the steep prices we pay. At least the food was pretty good, and the location/atmosphere of the restaurant was also very nice. Looking at the reviews it seems most people had a great time here, and we are probably the exception, not the norm. Nevertheless, I am never coming back here again.

Nice place, nice worker and good food. I definitely recommend this place. The waiter was so friendly as well. She answered all our questions. The food was really good.

Best Hamburger in Romania (so far). Very very friendly people. They where so nice and hospitable to there gusts. The pasta was excellent and even the French fries was fantastic. We really enjoyed.

Review for mid of June 2023, a Sunday: Came in around 13:30, with no prior reservation. Seated was available inside immediately, service was fast, staff was friendly. Payment accepted by card also contactless or tap to pay. Tips may be included with the card payment. Serving plates/size are quite large, adult & kid could eat from 1 serving (Chicken Parmigiano) and staff brought an additional plate. I really liked the atmosphere, the design together with the music played and sound level. Would definitely return here.

Good food, good portions, and good memories. Even though we've been here only one time, a few months ago, the server knew us immediately. They also have some Italian products you can buy, if you want to.

The food is just Madness. I had the mussels and my wife had the octopus. Just delicious, some of the best food ever... The French fries are Homemade (something quite rare). They have outside seating and accept credit cards. The place is quite full, so... make reservations. The staff is helpful. The waiting time was about 30 minutes, worth every second.

The schnitzels were spot on. The right amount of crunch and not too oily. Loved the kartoffeln salad and the touch of the cranberry sauce. The apple dessert was amazing. Unfortunately none of the staff wore a mask and they did not ask for the green pass. Too bad.

The food was out of this world, the waiters so polite and so professional always there without being intrusive and very knowledgeable and kind. I was there with my wife and 9 months old baby and felt almost as visiting an old friend even though it was my first time there

For the lovers of Austrian-German-Switzerland food, this restaurant is a great choice. The menu has a reasonable variety of dishes at decent prices. I noted the list of German beers with several popular brands. The service was ok, although my first ordered dish was no longer available. Our schnitzels were tasty, but the sizes weren't impressive.

The food is amazing, the atmosphere is really cozy and the staff is friendly. totally recommend

Very good food in terms of German food. Good beer and liquor selection with reasonable price. Highly recommended!! Happy dinner!

Very very good food! You need to try pork shoulder! It was very tasty and the staff was very friendly!

Just amazing. If you love German food no better place. Delicious! Worth the try! Lovely restaurant, helpful staff and food only one word : amazing .

The best German food I have had outside of Germany! Great atmosphere and service.

The food was divine everytime I went there, portions are pretty huge. Inside, the atmosphere is very cozy and lovey. Staff is always nice and attentive. I honestly always happily come back here!

Awesome place. The service was good, with a lively staff. We had dinner there and I have to admit that the food is amazing! Personally I recommend the pork knuckles but I am sure that you will not be disappointed with anything you order. Definitely recommended ✌️

During the years, I have tried the food and the beer in many place from Brasov. This local is by far my new favourite local from this city. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is very cozy, the prices are more than decent, and they are very agile in serving the food.
