Had a twin room for the night which had its own en suite and was good! Although you could hear every movement from the room next door and the beds were so squeaky ! The staff about 10 of them all just stared at me and my friend no matter what we were doing. In terms of ordering food I've never felt so provoked. Oh well we still ate anyway and I bought a Dracula shirt , winner

The restaurant is right in the main square of the fortress, just near Clock Tower. We visited first of all the room where Vlad the Impaler was born, which is a funny place somehow where we are welcomed by a vampire. Then we got hungry. The waiter was pleased when I asked for a Romanian tzuica, which is hard alcohol. Then, we had a soup in bread, very good and some pork with potatoes, a classical Romanian dish. The beer was also alright. The waiter was fast, so we only had to wait for about 30 minutes, just fine to enjoy our drinks. Like in most of the restaurants in Sichisoara Fortress, for two dishes and something to drink, the bill is about 90 - 100 RON. It was alright. We ate here in October this year, on a Monday afternoon when it was not too crowded.

Sat in the lovely courtyard with the customary Romanian cat wandering around underfoot. Ordered our dinners but then tour groups came in to pre-set tables and we watched them eat soup and main course and dessert while we waited about an hour to be served. My husbandâs pork medallions, my Hungarian goulash and mixed salad were very good but what wouldnât be at that point? No explanation or comped appetizer. Trying not to impose my countryâs way of doing things but this bordered on rude.

We like trying new places but went back to Raluca three times for the excellent Romanian food. I had the pork and sausage with polenta and was initially worried about how the meat would be - especially at the low price - but in fact, it was good quality, tender and savoury. The restaurant has a nice little patio with a view, too, and then it is only a few steps after dinner to the clock tower square.

We came here for dinner and the waiters were very friendly to welcome us. We had a beer and a glass of wine with 2xxl Mici with wedges with hot pepper jam and one schnitzel with mashed potatoes. The meal was very delicious and we definetly recommend this restaurant.

You had better like meat if you eat here. There are vegetarian options, but the menu is heavy on meat and hearty options. We started by sharing a traditional cheese and meat platter and it was enormous. So big that we shared a chicken paprika and then shared an apple strudel. With beer to accompany dinner and cappuccino over dessert, it came to RON110 (USD$25.59) including tip. Good food but not superb.

tucked away on a street a stones throw from the main square, opposite one of the many churches, this place is one of the best restaurants in sighisoara, and i suggest you dont miss it. i ate here twice...the second time mainly because as i passed, one of the 5 tables outside was free, and it was just a beautiful evening. i was planning to go somewhere else, but it seemed too good to miss as they are usually reserved, and being conflicted on what to eat the first time, i could get my second choice! YUM!the first time i ate the pork balanced on a bed of mashed potato with beetroot relish. the pork was a very well cooked, and a very large portion, but, i cant deny the potato was undercooked and undermashed, very dissapointing as mash is one of my favourite things, and one of the reasons i ordered this dish. however, all was not lost. because i was a bit meh about this i ordered the chocolate souffle with homemade icecream...and OMG it was something of a meg ryan moment!!! just totally delish, and i could have eaten this multiple times!!! YUM! with the main i had a glass of the house wine, which is in fact, a quarter litre, and was ok, but not fantastic, and was a bit fed up that the only sweet drink they had to go with the souffle was baileys. still, whatever. the second time...as i said outside on a balmy evening with rooks swooping around the belfry watching the sun go down i ate the salmon with mango and red pepper with a couple of warm rolls. the fish was just deliciously crunchy on the outside, and melt in your mouth delicious. with it a drank a bottle of romanian rose, which just went so well with the food. lovely meal.have to say, the service in romania is not the most attentive, friendly or caring, but here the waiters were lovely, and if i ever find myself back in sighisoara i would definitely eat here again.

Romanian and international cuisine served in a elegant setting. Best Romanian wine selection in Transylvania.

We went there for three nights. The place is very nice, the personal is acceptable friendly and the meals are probably the weakest point of this place. You can eat enough, you donât need to leave the place hungry, but I you want something very special, you might be disappointed. The meals are also ok, but not on the level of this price range. For this amount of money others make a bigger effort, even in Romania.
