Details about the food stops:
At our first stop we will have tastings in a historical building: a 200 years old inn. Discovering Romanian cuisine will get along very well with historical moments that happened in this place.
At our second stop we will go to a place that it is said to have the best papanaşi in town. But before trying the dessert, we’ll first have some Romanian cheeses that some say can compete with the more tempting French or Italian cheeses.
And at our third stop you will enjoy a specialty coffee while sharing Romanian habits about coffee.
Use your senses! Savor both the food and the experience among friends for a couple of hours.
Enjoy and have fun!
