3. Discover Local Cuisine
The Old Town is a food lover’s paradise. Traditional restaurants serve dishes like sarmale (stuffed cabbage rolls) and mici (grilled meat rolls). For a true experience, visit Caru’ cu Bere, a landmark restaurant known for its gothic-style architecture and authentic Romanian menu.
