Culinary Mysteries Of Transylvania

Cluj-Napoca is an ideal destination for historical cities enthusiasts heading to Romania. Let’s explore its culinary scene with Eatagram.

Cluj-Napoca is located in the legendary, mysterious Transylvania and dates back to the Ancient Roman era. It’s a former German fortress with beautiful architecture and unique cuisine. Its gastronomic heritage has been shaped mostly by German and Hungarian influences with Romanian authenticity being its strong base.

Not sure what to start with? We absolutely recommend that you go with traditional authentic specialties. Be sure to try the iconic mămăligă, a hearty cornmeal porridge often served with cottage cheese or sour cream on top. It’s a go-to for both locals and travelers.

If you’re a meat lover, take a chance to savor mititei, Romanian grilled sausages with garlic, paprika, and aromatic herbs. They are normally served with mustard and fresh bread. Absolutely worth trying!

Transylvania is famous for its vineyards and wineries. Be sure to visit one of them and sample Fetească Neagră or the crisp Grasă de Cotnari. If you’re not a wine enthusiast, pair your meal with a traditional Romanian brandyȚuică. Here’s your adventure in Transylvania!

If you’re craving something sweet, take your time and luxuriate in albinita which means ‘Little Bee’. This delicate honey cake will be your favorite.
