Favorite Dish: I recommend you to eat:Meat sstuffed cabbage rools, polenta and cream in romanian sarmalute porc cu costita,tokitoura with polenta and egg-there are many types of meat of pork.in romanian tochitura di porc mamaliga si ou.The all menu is on the internet on their website.

Placed in a former filarmonic place, very central, this restaurant has a large room, placing upstairs the smokers.
It takes some time to go through the menu and decide. But no matter what you'll take, some traditional german dish or romanian one, the chef does wonders.

I recommend to start with some traditional romanian appetizers (home made, including the bread) served with our palinca (strong alchool - shots) and with your main dish have the local wine, red or white. And finnish with a delicious apfel strudel with vanilla sauce.

Mmmmmmmm!

I love all restaurants/tea houses/ coffee houses backed by an intriguing concept and I value the ambiance created more than the tea, cappuccino or cookies served. This is why I was fascinated by this little, hidden cafe in the Old City Centre.

As we walked down the stairs next to the Liars' Bridge, connecting the Higher Town with the Lower Town, we saw these adorable little tables and couldn't help but walk in. The story is that Sibiu was one of the stops of the famous Orient Express in 1883 (which, at the time, connected Paris to Istanbul), as a result of an invitation made by King Carol.

The owners recreated the aristocratic ambience of this famous train and now you can enjoy a fresh lemonade in the business class compartment, in the sleeping cart or at the first class tables. I was impressed by every little detail the designers though of, as you will notice in the pictures.

There's no food in the menu, but a good variety of coffee, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Favorite Dish: My favourite thing are actually two things:
1. the fact that their "Guests Book" is made up of the ceiling and walls where you can leave a few notes.
2. 2nd favourite thing: there's a piano inside the cafe where you can show your skills. they also organise live music events and, as far as I've noticed, it's a favourite shooting location among photographers.

Strada Nicolae Bălcescu is a hot shopping and dining street in Sibiu, and Pizzeria Colosseum looked like one of the most popular terrace-front restaurants along the street when I was walking past. Realizing it had been more than a day since I'd last eaten delicious thin-crust Neapolitan-style Romanian pizza, I had to stop at Colosseum for lunch. Once again I ordered a vegetarian pizza, and once again I was transported back to the Naples of my early twenties (kidding... kind of). When the bill came I knew I was right back in Romania, because it was a steal. Is there such a thing as a bad pizza in Romania?

You know, I think I should get married to a Romanian pizza. That's how much I loved them. Union is another popular pizzeria, this time in Sibiu, serving up thin-crust delights. Now that being said, I actually didn't eat pizza at Union. Nope, I couldn't resist the pull of their vegetarian lasagne, and ended up sinking my teeth into a very vegetable-heavy dish of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and zucchini layered with a few noodles and some marinara sauce. Now that's my kind of lasagne! They've also got a great cocktail list, and with their prime terrace location on Piata Mica Union is a top stop while you're in Sibiu.

Yuck-o! The Lonely Planet guide says Grand Plaza serves "gimmick-free Romanian cuisine at great prices". Actually, it was inedible slop. They could only accommodate my vegetarian diet with mamaliga- no problem, I like polenta. I can get my nutrients from juice or something. Sadly, my dining companion ordered the day's set menu, which included "chicken". I use quotation marks as I'm pretty sure she was served cat or something. It was just gross grey slop. She couldn't eat her food, her food turned me off my food, and we ended up just stocking up on snacks at the supermarket afterwards. Seriously... Romanian food can be really good... but Grand Plaza is NOT the place to try it!

This is the only "real restaurant" we have discovered between Brasov and Sibiu.
Good food, kind personnel and very nice “traditional” arrangements. Anyway, the food is very well prepared and you’ll enjoy it for sure.
When you’ll go, don’t forget to refresh your stocks of Romanian food specialties prepared in the traditional way, from the small shop situated in front of the restaurant.

Favorite Dish: We have tried few dishes and we appreciated them all.
Very special traditional dishes are available there. You have only to ask the waiters for the best recommendations.
