Restaurante rumano Transilvania Barcelona

Very nice place, very clean, and the food… simply delicious! The Romanian wine is absolutely sublime! Service was very friendly and professional. We will come again and also recommend this restaurant to our Spanish and Catalan friends.

I was recommended by friends to try the food there, I went with two friends we had the chicken soup and the meat soup, And then two Romanian main dishes, food was scrumptious, service were very friendly. Recommend.

Ethical Cuisine, Romanian at Its Best! If you’re looking to try something new beyond the typical Spanish or Italian restaurants, this Romanian restaurant is a must-visit. It offers a taste of pure, authentic cuisine from Eastern Europe that’s both exciting and comforting. As a Ukrainian, I can confidently say the food here reminds me of home. The staff are incredibly polite and welcoming. One of them recommended dishes to us and explained their significance, showcasing a real passion for food and hospitality. The first soup I tried reminded me of something we have in western Ukraine, and it was excellent. It offers an interesting “new take” on chicken soup for anyone unfamiliar with the region’s cuisine. The second soup (with beef) was decent, but I recommend asking for smetana (sour cream) to enhance it. The estofado de pollo con polenta exceeded my expectations. I’ve tried mamaliga before, and it wasn’t a favorite, but this dish completely changed my opinion. It was the best mamaliga I’ve ever had—super tasty, served with smetana, and perfectly spiced. The chicken was tender and flavorful, making it a standout dish. The bread served with the dishes is traditional Romanian bread, which has a unique flavor that’s different from other types of bread you’ll find here. At the end of the meal, we were offered traditional Romanian cherry liquor to try. Naturally, I compared it to the Ukrainian version, and I can say it’s just as good! The dessert was the highlight of the evening—papanasi. If you love pastries, you absolutely have to try this traditional Romanian dessert. It was beyond my expectations and the perfect way to end the meal. The decor is authentic, and you can tell the owner truly loves the place and cares about the details. I especially loved the wooden tables and chairs outside, which added a cozy, traditional charm to the experience. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the unique cuisine and the excellent location. This place is absolutely worth your money. If you’re curious about exploring authentic Eastern European flavors, this restaurant is a must-visit!

Fantastic food and service! This is my second time at this restaurant both times trying new dishes-and it’s always been a great experience. Their staff is very friendly, accommodating, and attentive. The food is delicious with huge portions and authentic - even the bread they serve come from Romania which are delicious alone. The chicken soup was just great for a cold night- one portion was good as a starter for two people. And oh, the aubergine paste with their bread, we had to order another portion to take home because it was just too good! I definitely recommend dishes in these photos as well as the Dracula dish and Papanasi (not in the photos) They offered a shot of sour cherry liqueur to end the meal which was just perfect! I just love this place and will definitely be back. Mulțumesc!

Really good place if you want to have some eastern European flavors. Good service, and portions, for a reasonable price. I liked every dish what i tried (chicken soup, chicken paprikas, sour cabbage, and papanasi for dessert) The only thing i could improve is to make the flavors a bit even stonger. There are many other dishes on the menu i would like to try so i will definitely return for them *update: I came back to try other dishes and they were also good. I enjoyed especially the bean soup and the pancake with vanilla sauce

Amazing quality, very good service when it comes to explaining what every dish has and I love the pride they serve their food to their clients. It's really well decorated, the chairs, the tables, the small bits of folk art and pictures... Food is overall soulful and casual, great way to travel without getting out of Barcelona. A great introduction to Romanian cuisine.

Really really enjoyed it here. Had the chicken soups and the cabbage thing which I recommend alot. The bloke serving us was a legend aswell, gave us shots on the house afterwards which tasted - and smelt - of pure vodka and ethanol. Nearly made me puke but in a good way.

Great value restaurant with discounts on The Fork. Although the food wasn’t to my personal taste exactly, it was very fresh and high quality. The Papanasi dessert is delicious and you shouldn’t leave without trying it. The service was wonderful and we were also offered cherry shots. Definitely worth a visit if you want to try something different.
