The Old Town of Cluj-Napoca attracts many tourists and even locals every evening because of the many restaurants, coffee-shops, and the old paved streets. Not all the great restaurants of Cluj are in its Old Town, and that’s why we will start with one that has a view over the entire city of Cluj-Napoca.

The visitors don’t come to this place only for the burgers, they come for the great view and even for the other great dishes served here. If you get here on a sunny day, you’ll want to have a meal on the terrace where you can admire the old town of Cluj-Napoca and the Gothic Church. You can also have pizza, soup, vegetarian food, delicious desserts and a large variety of drinks from this place.

5. Kaja Tanya
Maybe you’re not a vegetarian, but you want to enjoy a full meal as one of them. The Kaja Tanya Restaurant is the most vegetarian-friendly restaurant from Cluj-Napoca. And also, this restaurant is probably the smallest one from Cluj, it has only a couple of tables, and the food is prepared by its owners. The name of the restaurant is in Hungarian, and it can be translated as ‘homemade food’. So if you want to enjoy some food made by the locals, here’s another reason to come at this restaurant. You can find it in the Old Town of Bucharest, near the Baracca Restaurant and less than 1 km (0.6 mi) from the Botanical Gardens.

They also have plates, appetizers, salads, soups, pasta, risotto, pizza and of course desserts. The restaurant is in the Old Town and is not too crowded, but a reservation would be useful to have a guaranteed great evening. And after that, you can take a walk in the Unirii Square.

Where to eat?
After some short reviews of these six restaurants, we all can agree that it can be hard to choose from a meal on the high hills, at a quiet terrace of the Old Town, or on a balcony with a view of the entire Old Town. It can be hard to choose if you stay here for only a night or two, but the restaurants on this list will be enough for a full week in the heart of Transylvania.
