Top Restaurants in Brasov
Top 10 restaurants in Brasov, Romania
Smack in the center of Romania is Brasov, a harmonious mash-up of traditional charm and modern city life. Ride a double-decker bus around the city to get your bearings and see the sites whiz by, then hop off to squeeze down Strada Sforii, the narrowest street in Europe. Take a day trip to see the fortified church of Prejmer, the Libearty brown bear sanctuary, and the deliciously ominous Bran Castle, otherwise known as Dracula’s Castle.

Hystoric place, nice decorations, good food. A bit too pricey, above Romanian average, without being more special than other restaurants in Brasov. Ask to be seated in the basement, looks way better than upstairs.
2. Pizzeria Della Nonna
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 162 reviews
Probably the BEST pizza that you'll ever eat in Brasov. Pizzeria della Nonna offers you a vast selection of wooden oven baked pizzas. Also besides that, you can try our fresh salads, bruschettas, soups, grills and Deserts. Anything on the menu is also available on Delivery service that is prompt to your door. With almost 8 years in the business, we gained our clients' appreciation by always being professional, having a large variety of dishes, serving quality food and last but not least having fair prices. Our concept has emerged from the fact that we wanted to offer affordable gourmet pleasures. Our team wishes you a nice day and thanks you for taking the time to visit our Trip Advisor page!

They have tasty, good quality pizza and big ( the small pizza is enough to feed an adult), the service is friendly and nice with children, the bathroom is clean and nice decorated. The place is pleasant and comfortable. This was our second time here and will come again.

We came here for our wedding anniversary and it was a perfectly nice meal. Great views over the city and great service too. Quite expensive though...

Pub-like atmosphere, with a friendly staff, concerned with a customers wishes and satisfaction. The pasta may be al little over cooked and the Chef is a little too careful with the seasoning, but overall it’s a “feel good” fast lunch or dinner!Thank you for taking the time to review our restaurant, dear Sebastian! We take very seriously into consideration our customers' feedback in order to offer an even better culinary experience next time. We are looking forward to see you soon :)
6. Terroirs Boutique du Vin

Wine boutique and bar with a selection of international meals. Non smoking, kids are welcomed.More than 400 wines from all over the world.
Reviewed By Sergiu449 - Brasov, Romania
Along with our friends, we had an aperitive and a glass of wine at Terroirs. The experience was bad on so many levels :
1. To start, there was no wine menu...just a way too confident kid who probably pictured himself as a prestigious sommelier at least....as he presented no more no less that HE IS THE MENU !!!...The Mozart of wines i thought to myself....so you dont know how much it will cost and you have to rely on a childs recomandation to choose a glass of good wine from maybe hundreds of options available...
2. I asked him if they have wines from a Romanian producer with excelent results on international wine competitions...multiple gold and silver medals at prestigious events such as "Concours Mondial de Bruxelles". "THE MENU" himself, enlightened us and said that those wines are no good (inspite of their undeniable pedigree)...and its not apropiate to order such wines at this restaurant. His main argument was that you can find these wines too easy on the market and its better that we try other wines...preferably imported or not so comercial (as if these two facts only...place of origin and presence on the market... recommend them as good quality wines).
Altough i do not share THE MENU's opinions, i was willing to give the kid a chance and try his recommended wines for a change. Big no no for me...his first option tasted like vinegar...his second , a pinot noir did not convince...and the third option i accepted out of common sense, because i felt sorry for the guy...did not want to burst his bubble.
In conclusion, i've "learned" from a kid that calls himself "THE MENU" that Aurelia Visinescu's wines are bad, Crama Basilescu's wines never seen the grape and their made out of chemicals...and that romanian wines in general suck just because they can be found on the market, despite their excelent results and around the world apreciation....Also remarcable is that the price of a glass of wine is a suprise in this restaurant, as you find it out only when you get the check.
Needless to say : No more terroirs for us....
7. Dr. Jekelius - Pharmacy Cafe

My husband and I visited here with Untravelled Paths and what a treat! The place is laid out like an old pharmacy and some of the cocktails are served in flasks, and shots in test tubes (placed in a rack) - the shots were incredible flavours- my husband had the anaesthetic which was surprisingly tasty (despite sounding like a strange mix). There was a slight issue splitting the bill (We don't think everyone paid theirs before leaving - there was also a service charge for large groups) so make sure to ask that yours is separate if worried. But definitely go!

I liked the deccorations of the restaurant. It was very traditional. The athmosphere was warm and the stuff was friendly. There were plenty of meals from which you can choose. I tried the meat pie and it was delicious. The prices are medium.Thank you very much, dear Maria! Looking forward to seeing you again! :)
9. Albert Bistro

Different styles, refined taste demonstrated by our superb location of the best wines from France, Spain, Argentina and, of course, Romania. All combined with fine food and exceptional Deserts!
Reviewed By agrgsc_11 - Bucharest, Romania
We went there because the location is very central and we were tired and hungry. We were also happy to see on trip advisor that there are vegan options. There are, but only bruschetta, hummus, olive spread and some vegetables/potatoes. All of the dishes were bought from the supermarket, not so tasty (you would expect that a restaurant can make its own in house hummus, spreads etc). The waiter was not very attentive, he forgot part of our order. On the plus side, you can find a nice collection of wines.
Would not recommend or come back again.
10. Simone
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 184 reviews
Situated right in the heart of town, but quite far from the urban noise of the main road, we would present our Bistro as an oasis. For the touristic curiosity, for whoever interested in the little secrets of our town surrounded by Mountains, our Bistro could be the right place. After a renovation period, people here have tried to create a cosy, friendly and intimate atmosphere so that all our guests could feel like home Nothing too pretentious and no exclusiveness only because we aim that everybody should feel good and enjoy the passion and creativity that stays behind the eyes. Our kitchen has its ,, urban" type, is multicultural, young and fresh.Our homemade plates are prepared on site in respect and in harmony with the seasons, with priority on the local products and inspiration from all cultures around the world. Thus, Our food here is prepared with fruit and vegetables gathered daily at the market on the day. During the day you can give peace and rest to your mind's eyes, while during the weekend you can dance the night away at our coolest parties. That's our new concept, our Bistro/ Disco

Simone is a cozy, friendly establishment about a block away from where we stayed in Brasov. Our primary reason for going there are it’s vegan menu options which are clearly marked on the menu (thank you!). We tried the:
- hummus (outstanding)
- vegan burger: mashed sweet potato patty (OK to try; wouldn’t get again)
- peperoncini pasta (not bad, but not great)
- Mediterranean platter (pretty good)
I can’t speak for the non-vegan food, but the vegan offerings were just OK. What warned this place a 4 our of 5 was its great atmosphere and friendly staff. Example: We arrived just after 22:00 on a Sunday night only to learn that the kitchen was closed and they were only serving drinks. However they went back and checked to see they could serve us something that didn’t require cooking. Not only did they produce two Mediterranean platters, they even wanted the pita. Thank you!
I would definitely recommend this spot for drinks and it seemed popular. So if you’re a carnivore give it a try. As far as vegan fare goes, it was a the best place we found in Brasov which says more about the local offerings than this place specifically.
