Transylvania, Romania: Fresh Vegetables, Beef, and Sour Cream

In partnership with

Today, we will fuel our experiences with delicious food in Brasov, Sibiu, and Sighișoara. While most restaurants will have menus available in English and German, anyone with food allergies should be sure to have a translation app. Words can have similar meanings, and since I don’t speak Romanian, I would be happier if an app would translate important things such as food allergies.

It’s time to feast!
