    Brașov, Romania - In this ultimate Transylvanian Food tour of Brasov, Romania, we started off with a huge lunch, then continued to eat Transylvanian truffles, had a massive wild stew dinner, and ended the adventure with an e-bike ride up the ski slope and Romanian mountain breakfast. #Romania #Transylvania #Brasov
    Huge thank you to Cristian Macedonschi ( / cristian_macedonschi ) for hosting us in Brasov!
    La Ceaun - Just after arriving to Brasov, we went for lunch in the center square. We tried a huge assortment of Transylvanian Romanian foods. An amazing way to begin this food tour of Brasov.
    Cucinino Pasta Bar - After taking a walk through the city and walking the hills around the city, we stopped at Cucinino Pasta Bar, mostly with the intention to try Transylvanian truffles. Amazing.
    Hotel Alpin - Poiana, Brasov - From the center of Brasov, we drove about 20 minutes up the mountain and checked in to Hotel Alpin a classic ski resort hotel.
    Stana Turistica Sergiana - Dinner was one of the highlights of this entire experience for me, a traditional countryside Romanian restaurant. The different stews, including deer, rooster, and beef cheeks were outstanding. Highly recommended restaurant when you’re in Brasov, Romania.
    Cabana Postăvaru - Ski Lodge, Restaurant - In the morning, after riding an e-bike up the side of a ski slope, we had a huge Romanian mountain breakfast.
    A fantastic food adventure in Romania, and thank you again to Cristian Macedonschi ( / cristian_macedonschi ) for hosting us and making it happen.
    Also, thank you to Nassim ( / romania_foodtours ) and Cristian ( / cristian_tudor_microgr... ) for setting up this incredible trip.

      Romania is artificial state , only 160 years "old", name of state was invented in 1877 , name of the people in the same way. The valach "romanian" history was invented in XIX. century , created the daco-roman theory with the reason to legalise they right for Transylvania. Transylvania was a region of Hungary for 1000 years before romanian ocupation in 1918.

      We dont do complex salads. 99% of homes do raw fresh veggies you just grab while you eat your main dish. Its because of everyone used to live in the country side and the food basically went from your garden to your kitchen table. Wash it, eat it. Only complex cooking is when doing hot meals with sauces, etc. If its salads, its a very raw and super simple approach.

    Wow, this is so fascinating seeing a foreigner take huge bites of traditional roumanian food and not even squint once. I am Romanian and I don't like half of the foods you had there LOL. Amazing!! The tourist guides you had did an amazing job presenting the best sample of traditional food we have here and also choosing the best restaurants. This was just amazing to watch. Thank you for the free content!
