Roata
Restaurant Roata
A family-run, rustic-style restaurant in the center of Cluj, specializing in Transylvanian stews, platters, and papanași, with very generous portions.
Located at 6 Alexandru Ciurea Street, this family-run traditional Transylvanian restaurant features wooden tables, benches, and barrels that create a cozy rustic cottage atmosphere, with live music on select nights. The signature dish is the hot Roata platter for two, which includes sarmale, Cluj-style cabbage, and sausages, while their papanași is also highly acclaimed. Soups are around 29-39 RON, and main courses are about 50-80 RON. It is often fully booked on weekends, so telephone reservations are recommended (online booking via ialoc is not supported). It is within walking distance of Union Square.
