There is a 25 Ron fee to visit the church which I feel is a high price. During the summer, there’s an organ concert every Saturday. Instead of visiting the church for 25 Ron, I chose to pay 5 ron extra for the organ concert. Tickets are sold across the church’s front entrance at the building with the address of 8. Cash or credit cards are accepted. The concert lasts for an hour and begins at 6 pm. The concert is projected onto a screen. Note: try not to sit in the first two rows as you will not be able to see the screen. I stayed after the concert to admire the many beautiful rugs displayed inside. There are also a couple of stunning paintings.

Nice large church with a nice story behind it. Need to buy tickets, 25 for adult and 15 for a child, don't know why. There are some historical items inside near the enterence, so maybe they consider themselves as a museum. The organ is very impressive.

Not worth the ticket price (25 lei) as the church is beautiful but nothing exceptional, and more interesting from the outside. Also the lady who checked out tickets did not even say hello, not a word. Please train your staff!

The Black Church is worth a visit by anyone visiting Brasov. Has lots of unique features and items of note. For one all the church pews are segregated based on the various historic guilds of the city, with paintings in front of each dictating the guild. The organ is the largest of all in Romania and there's quite an impressive altar piece. Tickets are required for entry and can be purchased opposite the church entrance in the INSPIRATIO gift shop. 20RON for a standard adult ticket.

A huge medieval church, really beautiful and impressive. The name "Black church" comes from its dark appearance caused by either the fire that devastated the church in late 17th century or from later pollution. A definite must see site in Brasov.

A truly remarkable landmark and one of the most impressive Gothic churches in Eastern Europe. The Black Church dominates the center of Brașov with its massive structure, dark stone walls, and beautiful setting right next to Piața Sfatului. Even from the outside it’s striking, and once you walk closer you really feel its historical weight. A bit of history & curiosities: • The church dates back to the 14th century and was originally known as the Church of Saint Mary. • It earned the name “Black Church” after a catastrophic fire in 1689 that darkened its walls with smoke. • It’s the largest Gothic church in Romania, famous for its vast interior and impressive acoustics. • Inside, it houses one of the biggest collections of Anatolian carpets in Europe—brought by merchants from the Ottoman Empire and donated over centuries. • It also has a magnificent pipe organ built in the 19th century, known for its powerful sound and used for concerts. The atmosphere around the church is peaceful and incredibly photogenic, especially with the mountains rising behind it.

Although I suppose it was an excellent architecture place, unfortunately it had many periods of disasters in the past . Some things have survived but are too less. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to experience the Organ concerts there. Whith what is remaining, people have done an excellent exhibition. The building outside is marvelous. I think what I missed more are painted walls.

The city of Brasov, with its charming old town, colorful townhouses, and narrow streets, boasts the Black Church, the old town hall, and watchtowers offering stunning views of the entire city. It also boasts a picturesque market square with the town hall and fountains, surrounded by shops, cafes, and museums. Lovely place to see

A truly beautiful square and one of the highlights of Brașov. Piața Sfatului has a charming atmosphere, surrounded by colorful medieval buildings, cafés, and the impressive Black Church just a few steps away. It’s the kind of place where you can sit, relax, and simply enjoy the view of the mountains above the rooftops. The square feels lively but not chaotic, with plenty of space to walk around, take photos, or stop for a drink. It’s also the perfect starting point for exploring the historic center. A bit of history: Piața Sfatului dates back to the 14th century and was once the heart of Brașov’s commercial life, where merchants from all over Europe met and traded. At the center stands the Council House (Casa Sfatului), originally built in 1420 and expanded over the centuries. It served as the administrative seat of the city and today hosts the Brașov History Museum. The square has witnessed markets, fairs, political events, and centuries of Transylvanian history, making it one of the most iconic public spaces in Romania.

A very nice almost Mediterranean square with lots of cafes, confectionery & shops. However, it is quite touristic and so more expensive than other areas of Romania. A couple decent museums and lots of interesting history

Lots of restaurants, coffee, and dessert establishments. Has an old town look and charm. Family friendly and safe. Fountain and places to sit and eat dinner. Historic area.

The centre of Brașov which is full of character and rich history. There are plenty of restaurants, shops and landmarks to admire and explore such as the black church.

A very wonderful square that is definitely worth visiting! The best thing is that when you find yourself in this square, besides the beauty of the buildings and surroundings, you also have an amazing view of the Brașov hills.

A very pleasant and cozy square. It may get a bit touristy, but still manages to feel laid-back and relaxed. Right in the middle stands the old town hall, now a museum, and around it you’ll find plenty of cafés, restaurants, and churches – including the famous Black Church, the largest Gothic church in Romania. If you look up, you’ll spot the “Hollywood-style” Brașov sign lit up on the hill at night. A bit cheesy? Sure. But somehow, it fits perfectly. :) michaelnae-->(instagram)

The First Romanian School is located in Brașov, specifically in the courtyard of a church. It is said to have visiting hours that include the interior, but unfortunately, I couldn’t access it due to discrepancies in the schedule—a problem I noticed other visitors encountered as well. The courtyard’s walls add to the charm of the site, harmonizing beautifully with both the church and the school. I believe this landmark is a must-visit, as it allows you to step onto the grounds where education in Romania first began.

A museum I can see more potential to despite it's small size which of course was the reason for the importance. The personnel at that time was a very kind and personable man Cris. He also suggested me to visit the church across which was so beautiful

By the time I visited the museum it was partially closed for renovation. It is more like a historical milestone then a museum. Frankly, not much to see here. The great thing about it were the sights, the location the surroundings. A beautiful place to visit in the old side of town. Also the gentleman selling tickets at the entrance was really kind, helpful, giving us a a small but pleasant tour of this tiny museum, with a lot of valuable history behind. So if you got some thirty minutes to invest in visiting, your curiousity will be rewarded.

It's cute, but it's just two rooms. Most worthwhile thing about heading this way is the church right next to it and the territory around.

Very interesting experience! We had a very nice and knowledgeable guide. Learnt a lot about the history of Romanian school and first books The guide was friendly and held the whole tour in English. However, we felt that the whole tour went on too quickly and the guide was very rushed, moving from subject to subject almost immediately and without leaving any time for questions

Such an interesting museum! ✅ Very kind and funny guide - many detailed explanations, presented to the children's liking. Tickets cannot be bought in advance. No appointments are made for groups. Maybe change this rule, it would be easier for groups. Visited November 2023

Great place, nice staff. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is cause its small it has an old classroom a printing press and some pictures on the second floor. And just wondering wasn't it Hungary at the time?

We were walking by foot to Tampa hill. The cable car is under renovation at the moment. Walk up is about 1h, walking up and down is about 6 km. Nearby the hill You can also get to the Brasov sign with the platform to enjoy city panorama. We really liked the place and the view as well.

Good hike for hiking lovers. We didn’t see the view, because of the fog, but the atmosphere there was great!

It was a great experience that I hike this place. I don't think I would have regretted visiting this city for this alone. It looks resident friendly and even at the entrance, it was nice to hear someone playing. It has a very beautiful view and the slope is not high, so if you are young, you can climb to the top and come down in two to three hours. It would be nice to take a picture with the sunset on time.

The walk to the top is really nice, and you get a great view of the city.

He came, saw and ascend on it. Marvellous location, the view are just 100%.

A great way of spending your day off it's on a good hike like Tâmpa 🤗

Tâmpa, standing at 960 meters, is the highest point in Brașov, offering breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding mountain range. You can reach the top either by taking the cable car or by hiking one of the three marked trails, each varying in difficulty. At the summit, you'll also find the iconic "Brașov" sign, a well-known symbol of the city. If you're visiting Brașov, Tâmpa is a must-see attraction—an experience that truly highlights the beauty of this remarkable city.

Stunning restaurant that we randomly discovered on a hike so decided to go in and check it out. Had no reservation but were seated by the friendly staff straightaway. Beautiful rustic design and felt very authentic with absolutely stunning uninterrupted views across the mountains. We were hoping that we’d be able to find a few Romanian vegetarian dishes as we hadn’t gotten to try local cuisine yet. As someone whose diet is strictly halal and no seafood - we struggled to find genuinely nice vegetarian food in Romania so after 5 days of eating awful vegetarian dishes, we hoped we’d get better here. There weren’t many appealing options on the menu for us but we chose what we could eat just so we could try it - the food was ok - presented well and large portions - the dishes we ordered were decent but I won’t comment too much about the food as my restrictive diet prevented me from really having the authentic food experience - I’d just say that finding good vegetarian dishes in a meat eating country is quite difficult as there are few options. Staff and service was amazing however.

Very nice location and ambiance. Service was rushed without much feedback or menu upselling. Food was ok, beef was good but the pork was dry and flavorless. Papanași were good. Worth a visit for the location and scenery.

Suggested by a friend to go here for authentic Romanian cuisine. By the mainly Romanian clientele in the restaurant it seemed to affirm my friend's assertion. The food was excellent and the atmosphere, with the workers dressed in traditional Romanian wear and music in the background, made it that much more authentic (well to me anyways). The food, for the quality and price, was fair. Definitely recommend this restaurant for special occasions and for those visiting Romania who want this experience.

A Hidden Gem in the Mountains – Absolutely Perfect! We visited Sergiana – Stana Turistică, and honestly, it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Romania! ⸻ 🏞 Location & Surroundings: • The restaurant is tucked away in the mountains, surrounded by forest and stunning nature. • The road to get there is a bit rough, but totally manageable — and absolutely worth it. • Plenty of free parking space available right in front. ⸻ 🪵 Ambience: • A charming, rustic wooden cabin with beautiful traditional decor – lots of wood, stone, fur, and handmade details. • Massive outdoor terrace with panoramic mountain views. • The atmosphere is cozy, warm, and authentic. You really feel like you’re in a mountain lodge. ⸻ 🍽️ Food: • Exceptional traditional Romanian cuisine. • Everything was freshly made, with meats grilled over charcoal and stews cooked in cast iron pots. • Our top picks: • Lamb stew cooked in a cauldron – tender and packed with flavor. • Grilled lamb chops – juicy and perfectly cooked. • Venison ragout – rich, tender, delicious. • Mushrooms in wine sauce – light and flavorful. • Oxtail soup – absolutely delicious. • Plus grilled vegetables, homemade bread, and traditional mămăligă (polenta). • Every dish was perfectly seasoned and made with love. ⸻ 🎶 Service & Vibes: • Super friendly, fast, and helpful staff. • The highlight: live music right at the table — beautiful traditional Romanian folk music. • The service was surprisingly fast (possibly because it wasn’t too busy), and everything was fresh and hot. ⸻ 💸 Price & Value: • For four people — lots of food and drinks — only about 600 RON (~120€ total, ~30€ per person). • Honestly an incredible deal for the quality, location, and experience. ⸻ ✔️ Conclusion: • 🌟 Unique mountain location • 🍽️ Fantastic traditional food • 🎶 Wonderful atmosphere with live music • 🌲 Breathtaking mountain views • 🚗 Plenty of parking • ❗️ Note: The road is a bit bumpy, but 100% worth it. ⸻ 💯 Highly recommended!

Amazing location, service and food. Eveything was delicious, and though we had a small issue with one of the dishes, they quickly fixed everything and were amazingly friendly about it all. Highly recommend :) Try their bread!

The view and atmosphere were nice, but you’re essentially paying for that. They charged me for 2 pickle plates - 90 lei because of variety.I saw it’s after I arrived to the hotel and translated the bill. Will not return again !!!

Wow! Just wow. This place is a place everyone should experience. The traditional room decor and the store room was just fantastic. The food was very good and a huge portion. I had the chef’s lamb cauldron and it could have fed 2 people easy. The bread was so good! So crusty and lots of flavor. The beet salad was perfect. The views are postcard worthy. Can’t wait to return. Now my 2nd or 3rd trip and it is still amazing. The saremale is divine.

Absolutely delighted with the deserts and ambience of this restaurant. Their barretta di chiocolate was exceptional,the flavours of everything on the plate were complimented perfectly with each other! The pineapple gelato with olive oil was blissfully delicious! The waiters were extremely attentive and made us feel extremely welcomed .

First time visiting this place, I can say the atmosphere was good and the service was really nice, no complaints there. The food was meh, we ordered pasta and 3 different pizzas. The pasta was good, but the pizzas not so great. I appreciate that they were ready in a few minutes, but for some reason they were a bit warm at delivery. Then, not anything extraordinary, the same pizza quality you would get from a simple place, but twice the price.

Great experience with great serving that always paid attention to our needs. May be a little pricier than the usual italian restaurant but the food and service is well worth it 🤌🏼

What a great restaurant. The location, the service and the food it was amazing. From the reception til departure all was perfect. The food was of a sensational level, service was friendly and verre good We will come back.

Amazing experience, the waitress was great and offered to modify some of the options for me so I could enjoy the pasta but making it vegan and gluten free, it was delicious

Italian menu, good pasta, fresh coat fish & sea food choices ... Ness Cafe with chocolate and weep cream, Adriana our server is the best, ask for her she has been very good, helpful and her recommendations were super good

We had dinner here with a group of friends. The review for the food is mixed, some enjoyed it, others not so much. But the service was really nice. The restaurant has a large spread of pasta and desserts.

A unique spot serving traditional Romanian food. The interior is decorated with animal skins, fur and taxidermy art. One of a kind setting. Food was just alright though, pretty average. A place worthwhile visiting for it's ambiance.

I came here in 2001 and now again 24 years later. The authentic vibe and the amazing food has not changed even a bit. Try their soups and stews and don’t forget the Papanasi for dessert…. Just remember to come hungry.

Traditional Romanian Restaurant with superb cozy decor and situated in a unique location nested by the forest. Plenty of outdoor seating. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere created with folk music playing the background. A must go if you visit Poiana Brasov!

Very traditional place which some people call a tourist trap. Of course it’s very eye catching but the service was good and the food also. No bad surprises at all.

Nestled among pine trees and stunning mountains Coliba Haiducilor,it is a beautiful place to have some traditional food and drinks! Everything we had was delicious and the staff was attentive and kind. We were fortunate to enjoy live traditional music as well .. Mulțumim Coliba Haiducilor!

The food was absolutely phenomenal, greatest deer and boar meat i have ever eaten, the deserts were also incredible, the service was incredible deserves way more than 5 stars, lovely staff and atmosphere.

The food was really nice, and the service very good. Also the place looks very beautiful and it is well located. But I would not recommend this place since they included things that we did not ask for in the ticket. We realised when we checked the bill and they apologised, when then we knew that this happened more times to other tourists. It only happened to tourists as far as we knew (we were a team of four). The difference was not 10 or 20 lei, it was like almost at 40% more from what we spent. So... it is a shame because the food is delicious and the place beautiful and also the star is very nice. But I would not recommend this place. If you go, check twice your ticket and order.

An old restaurant that puts a lot of effort into looking authentic — perhaps a bit too much, as it might seem a bit fake. It’s a popular place with plenty of customers, so don’t expect a very personal or intimate experience. That said, many people do enjoy the old-fashioned vibe and nostalgic style of old Romania, so it really depends on what you’re looking for. The food was good. I even tried bear meat — it tasted somewhat like beef, though I personally find beef tastier. Still, if you want to try something unusual, go for it. It’s priced at about €40 per 100 grams and comes served with potatoes and sauce. The chicken skewers were also nice, and overall, I would recommend their game dishes. Lastly, they serve a very good vișinată (a Romanian sour cherry liqueur). I especially enjoyed the “ladies’ version,” which is only 17% alcohol — it feels like a rich, slightly sour cherry juice liqueur. Definitely worth trying!

Amazing place! Visit for the food and the atmosphere. Really authentic menu of dishes you can't find everywhere, like eyeballs of sheep (did not try that one). Very flavorful food, great aesthetics, and honestly less pricey than comparable options. There are separate dining rooms for evening and daytime, so you can have different experiences depending on the time of day. The whole vibe is fairytale cottage meets natural history museum.

Great experience! Traditional Romanian food in cozy atmosphere. The waitress spoke enough English to be able to order. Could pay in euros but got my change in lei.

Beautiful place- atmospheric, traditional, live music in the evening. Menu is large-full of meat. Also some vegetarian options. Food is tasty but portions are small. Service was poor. Gave a wrong impression of the portions sizes and left us hungry, therefore unhappy. Soups are good. 👍

Excellent experience, tasty food and generous portions. Staff very kind and fast.

A really nice traditional restaurant in the mountains with tasty food.

We had a wonderful evening—the service was amazing and friendly, and there were plenty of seats.

The best restaurant if you're looking for authentic romanian dishes and dining experience. ✅Location: Cozy and clean. 👌Food: I would go back and recommend this restaurant. The Ciorba de burta did not disappoint, even the complimentary jumari with onion, tasted good. Our main course were ciolan with beans and ciolan with cabbage, which both tasted well. The pork is tender, juicy, and hit the right spot of not being too salty and not bland. I would say I liked the beans more. The freshly pressed apple juice matched our entire meal. The serving was generous and we had a few leftovers for takeway.😊 💯Service: We arrived at the restaurant during dinner without a reservation, and we were treated great. We didn't have to wait long for the food to be served. I would say they're very attentive. Overall, a really great dining experience.

We were sooo excited to try this placed based on two recommendations, but it was such a disappointment I’m afraid. The stuffed chicken schnitzel with bacon was bone dry and my son couldn’t even finish it (he is not fussy and loves food), the sarmale was nothing special and was left unfinished too. My vegetarian stewed mushrooms with polenta was pleasant enough but had no wow factor. Our waitress seemed stressed and hurried (it was busy) and to top it off we had some weird residue at the bottom of our wine glasses .. yuck! The manager kindly refunded us for the wine but the whole experience was super disappointing after high expectations. We didn’t stay for dessert and took our business elsewhere. Very nice decor and atmosphere and some friendly staff, but sadly not worth the hype.

Upon entering, the host accurately told us it would be a 15 minute wait. After being seated, we stated to our waiter, we ONLY want dessert, he treated us with the the same respect as if we had a 4 course meal. We had the Papanasi (which our waiter predicted). He brought us bread and dried meat and stated "it is on the house" The papanasi was cooked to perfection and just a hint of crispness (just how I like it). The local red berries and sour cream were in good proportions.

Had a really nice meal here. The mains are delicious! I had the wild boar and would definitely recommend it. We had ice-cream for dessert but it wasn’t good. Tasted like store bought frozen ice-cream, so if you want a dessert I wouldn’t choose ice-cream. The service was ok but the vibes were great.

Food is the best you can have in the town, atmosphere is great, service is top class and the building has a memorable history. Each waiter is able to guide you as you’d be a guest in their own home.

The food is good, the waiters are ok. You have to make a reservation, there is always a queue if you come without a reservation. The place looks nice, traditional.

A traditional Romanian restaurant with cheerful staff. The food is OK -- meat was tasty but with heavy cream sauces and flavorless simply grilled veggies. The decor is very nice, with its vaulted arched ceilings. They also gifted us a fatty pork appetizer served with raw red onions. I loved my chicken soup.
