The 11 best bars and drinks in Sighisoara

It was my 3rd time here and it didn't disappoint. Food is always good. Definitely coming back when passing Sighisoara next time. Keep it up, guys!

Good place to take a lunch or dinner. Good attention by the staff. About the food surprise to us the quality and price, very good service. Surprising the papanasi The atmosphere of the restaurant is cool but they should lower the background music a little

Very good restaurant, we had their version of chicken schnitzel covered with crisp and crunchy cornflakes, the porc cotlet was qmazing and rich with flavours and the Papanasi were a perfection.Thenportiins are big enough to be split between 2 persons. Alex , our waiter was very courteous and friendly and everything was served rapidly. Would definitely come back next time i am there

Tasty food, friendly service, decent prices! Burger was a blast, pizza made in a wood fire oven, even my rabbit was so soft and tender. Great home made desserts! But the waitress made us the entire evening, with her attitude and help in choosing dishes, plus helping us in making a family moment, cause one of the brothers was his birthday!

Papanasi was not really nice because the dough was oily and did not have branza de vaca. The smantana was full fat like butter. Also 35 lei for a medium portion of two average papanasi is on expensive side. Unsmiling staff. Too hot inside due to the pizza oven

Great service, atmosphere, and food. Our server Alex was wonderful, he made recommendations that did not disappoint. We had the ciorbă with sour cream and chicken, it was one of the best soups we ever had. Pork chops and pizza were also good. We preferred the indoor dining which has very comfortable seating. We ate here twice during our visit to Sighișoara and can definitely recommend.

Tourist trap. We ordered local 'bean soup in bread' which contained so little soup/beans/meat that was hard to believe, the taste was basic. The 'tochitura' was also really dissapointing in terms of quantity which was very little for a high price(tried this food in many restaurants before and this one was the tiniest one and this place is not some gourmet place), it was however tasty but this could not redeem it. Also the place was very dusty. The service was alright. This was my experience, would not recommend and I hope that whoever reads this will have a better experience

I really enjoyed the look of the place. It is really nice and with an elegant vibe. The atmosphere was absolutely lovely and really romantic and the music was just right. Regarding the food now, well, the food was just okay, in a way I expected a bit more, since the prices were a little spicy, but was alright. I had a Diana steak, and my partner had filetto a la jossph t. I also had a caramel cheesecake for the desert that wasn't really sweet, but the cheese was really good.

Absolutely Outstanding! We had dinner here and enjoyed a Transylvanian cheese platter, fish bream, and duck leg, paired with local beers. The service was impeccable from start to finish, and our waiter Mr. Sile was truly exceptional — attentive, professional, and friendly. The restaurant is beautifully decorated in a classic style, with comfortable seating that makes you want to linger. The food was simply fantastic — compliments to the chef! Every dish was perfectly prepared and bursting with flavour. It was truly one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing evening at the restaurant. The interior looks fancy, but you feel cozy once you get a seat at the table. The staff is really quick and helpful. The menu is very diverse, and you have plenty of options based on your diet or preferences. We had duck and sea bream in the oven and was really delicious. They have a great selection of Romanian wine, but we chose a glass of their wine house and was perfect. The quality of the food and service far exceeds the price.

Had a very nice dinner here. There's an extensive food and wine menu. Large serves. Most menu prices are very reasonable. Large tables and very comfortable chairs. Service was unobtrusive and professional.

We enjoyed our meal so much last night! The ambience and everything we ate was amazing. I also thought the price was very good The best part was the service of our lovely and sweet Simona. She really made the meal special for us

Although we started with two amazing dishes we were expecting a third that never arrived because we had a confusion with the menu, which the waiter saw and didn’t help with. He was always unbothered and never cared to know if we were enjoying our meal or had any question, which is expected of a restaurant of this price and rating. Rather unfortunately, the third dish (spicy beef strips) was chewy and tasted poorly.

The restaurant is great! I got a T-bone steak and a Chateaubriand, which were cooked amazing. I also wanted fries and a sauce, that they didn't have in their menu, but without hesitation, they made them for us. The food was very good and the plaiting was amazing. The atmosphere was calming and the interior was fantastic and felt royal. I totally recommend it!

I had a late lunch, early dinner here. The heaters were good. However the food and drink were not good. The beef goulash was really tough and rather tasteless. The lemonade was awful, just really sweet syrup in water. Service quite slow even though not many in the outdoor area. No one seemed to be in charge of the outdoors area.

Very disappointing experience. It didn’t take long to place our order, but it took over 10 minutes just to get our drinks. We ordered a Greek salad as a starter, which took more than 30 minutes to arrive, and it wasn’t close to what we expected; lettuce with a few tomatoes, excessive black olives, no cucumbers at all. By the time we finished the salad, our drinks were empty, and we then sat for another full hour without ever receiving our main dishes or hearing form our server. I eventually had to track him down. There was no apology or mention that our meals were on the way so we paid for the salad and drinks and left. What made it worse is that the restaurant wasn’t even busy, so there’s really no excuse for such poor service. Based on other reviews, this seems to be a common issue here.

Nice staff, great service. In less than an hour we ordered and had our food brought to us and also finished eating. The portions were generous and the food absolutely delicious. Small issue was the small bathrooms but they were clean so there's not much to complain. Bonus points for the local cats politely roaming there. Made the experience a 10/10

Great music and lemonade. Pizza was great, the Bruschetta de la Casa was good but drenched in olive oil ( so ask to go easy on the oil).

Skip this place. Alina (our server) took over 30 minutes to bring a drink out, and over an hour to bring food. Not a busy time, just poor service. The food was also meh. It's a shame because it looks nice, but poor service ruins it.

Do not recommend! The food was awful! We received cold grilled pork and chicken meat (looking as yesterday cooked) that actually was raw and tasteless! Even the grilled vegetable were bad! How can you mess up grilled vegetables?! The prices do not match the low quality!

Visited the place on a rainy Saturday, it was packed. Serving was reasonable and fast enough though some of the waiters (men, especially) were chaotic and barely coping. The beans-in-bread soup was good and tasty, but the tripe soup was no where near...it was only a tasteless coloured liquid with some tripe in it..the burger we've ordered was acceptable/read 'ok' but not the best we've had and the goulash was miles apart from the real Hungarian meal, it should have been. Prices were ok and they do charge in addition for any extras you might have, as in our case: bread, sour cream, chilli pepper etc. From our experience, i would recommend them only for the beans-in-bread soup.

As others already have said the food looks good but its bland, very weak in actual flavor, needing salt and pepper and not satisfying to eat. The servings are big. We served dinner in the interior and the atmosphere was weird, no music, no ac.

We went 3 times to eat at Ferdinand Bistro and we loved it each time. First time we bought pizzaioli which was amazing! Totally recommend it! Second time we got ciorba de fasole cu ciolan afumat, and it was so good! After, we got pizza capricciosa and it was also delicious, in conclusion, the pizza dough is amazing at Ferdinand Bistro. For drinks we got the red wine glass and socata, both were good! We 100% recommend! The food came very quickly, ~10 minutes, and the waiters were kind.

An absolutely gorgeous Italian restaurant with great service, location and choice. Pizzas are an obvious choice and they don’t disappoint. Cocktails were also delicious and coffee looked tempting though we didn't have the time to enjoy some. Portions are big and service is really attentive.

This Italian restaurant has three vegan options including a very nice pizza with tofu and a bowl with rice and chickpeas. Since there aren’t many dishes containing protein around the center of the old town, so you should try it out! And if you need help ask Adriana 😊

Ordered the tofu vegan pizza. Was super skeptical because who puts tofu on pizza. It is very easy to slap a few vegetables on tomato sauce and dough. This was thoughtfully put together with flavors in mind but the dough is also incredible. Chewy, good char, and the right amount of crispy.

Nice patio to sit on and nice inside also. A good selection of pizza, pasta, local dishes and good salads. The salmon bowl was great. The crust on the pizza has a lovely dough and is cooked in a pizza oven. Could be more generous with the sauce and the tasty toppings. Service was fairly fast but not particularly attentive. Overall a good choice.

What a pizza 🍕 amazing taste Bread was very well made I tried best pizza in the town and I didn’t like sea food meat in it but the taste was anyway so good

Average food big portions but taste just okay. Expected more authentic medieval cuisine but this is just basic food. Try the rolled cabbage and it comes with polenta and fried ham. The greek salad is also big portions. The price is ok. They have garden terraces inside and the staff is very friendly.

We had the most delicious meals and the server is so friendly! It is also really affordable, the goulash soup is amazing and a must try!! Their pizza is also so delicious! Came back 3 times during our week in Sighisoara!

I liked this place and the food was delicious! This place is good for taking picture and a cute cat stay in the restaurant.🥰

Best place to eat in Sighisoara by far. The staff are very friendly and professional, the portions are generous with very good prices especially for the area. Also had the best coffee we tried in Romania in our two weeks here. Keep up the wonderful work!

Nicely decorated restaurant with delicious food. The outdoor seating area is very nice. You can see a bit of the Clock Tower from the upper outdoor seating area.

We were seated outside which was a bit dusty, understandably. It is a medieval themed restaurant with friendly staff and a great assortment of food. The food is quite alright and customisable, I highly recommend getting the hot pepper sauce and the lady's vegetables, the grilled foods are also quite nice.

Old school Romanian style food hidden in a beautiful alley. The inside is nicely decorated and has a pretty patio. The food was good, and the mixed grills were flavorful and tender. Only issue was the service. It needs a lot of improvement. Very slow and choppy.

We had a great time there, at the Country Rock Affair concert. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. The food and beverage is great, the service very good. I recommend pizza, vine and tiramisu.

I ordered a portion of pasta carbonara which was like an omelette and only tasted like egg. I do not recommend at all.

The location is good and the waiters are very kind! But I didn't enjoy much the pizza : the taste was quite okay but the mozzarella was barely there and the pizza was half burnt; not to mention that it was not very abundant. I expected more having seen the price.. Plus we waited a lot of time to receive our food and to pay.

Title: Exceptional Dining Experience! I recently dined at La Piazzetta in Sighisoara and was thoroughly impressed. The cozy ambiance, attentive staff, and diverse menu made for a memorable evening. I tried the Pizza Diavola, a true masterpiece of flavors and presentation. The attention to detail, extensive wine selection, and impeccable service elevate this restaurant. Whether for a romantic dinner or a special occasion with friends, La Piazzetta in Sighisoara is a must-visit !

Okish food, but careless regarding details. That is in contrast with the somewhat high prices. Vegetable cream soup is just regular soup throwed into a blender. The meat from the Goulash had some slightly burned marks. I wouldn't come here twice...

The place is nice, has a good view. I really appreciate they were respecting all hygiene and social distancing rules during the pandemic. The food was awesome and the plentiful while the price is fair. They don't have a great variety of desserts, but there are lots of plates available, though.

Pros: Nice location Good pizza The sauce was nice The staff was kind The serving time was short. Cons: I listened to Michael Jackson for 1 hour and a half on a loop The pasta had pesto sauce but there was no basil in it, it was just green

This restaurant is definitely nothing special. It is quite expensive but the food needs more seasoning and in our opinion also a bit stronger taste. I really do not recommend the La Strada salad. The cucumber, salad and tomatoes with few bites of cheese and cold chicken with a really small amonut of yogurt dressing was nothing I expected for 45 lei. And also do not go for the dish called somehow like Pork pan with polenta from the Rumunian specialties section-very tasteless. What I very recommend is the Goulash (5/5)! And the stuff was also very helpful and kind!

I find this very interesting because of the location and how much effect has once your sitting on the terrace you get a good feel enjoying the old square view next to the famous staircase. Service here is good, owners super friendly and food is tasty. I do recommend and we will come back again.

Nice place. We sat for a quick lunch. We were the only customers at the place. They have started doing some renovations which wasn't the most pleasant experience. Soup and chicken filet with gorgonzola were great. Service was also good. Inside the interior was quite impressive.

Sadly only 5 stars available. “Probably” the best romanian food.

I asked waiter to fill my bottle with tap water for my dog and he charged me for 10RON!!! Tap water is always free of charge exept this place. Shame on this place. I wouldn't recommend this place for anybody. You should stricktly controll your bill. They suggested In the comment that I was without dog. They are right. I didn't want to come in to the restaurant just for water with 59 kilograms od Cane Corso.

We waited for a good while so we hoped for slightly bigger portions or slightly better food…. But it was not bad overall. They forgot to bring us the second beer ;) Yet the climate of the Main Street and 10h drive to get there were best seasonings

Nice restaurant, quite good service. Cofee and suop good, carbonara ok, BUT my snitzel was the smallest one I have ever seen! It was supossed to be 250g but I got maybe half of that.

Quirky little pub - no food, no snacks, just beer. The place is strange in its own way - they don’t serve any food or even basic snacks, just draft beer. The waiter seemed completely indifferent, more interested in chatting with her friend at the next table than serving customers. On the bright side: prices are affordable (especially for draft Kozel), and it’s conveniently located not far from the Citadel

The place is simple but great, owners are friendly and best of all they take care of 2 stray cats 🐈 that are allowed inside to interact with customers. Loved it, felt like home ❤️ Thank you for caring about others!

Good prices but that's about it. There is a huge variety of cocktails but they don't taste good, they are just not well prepared; they only sell industrial beers (selling craft beers would be a huge plus!) and the waiter wasn't friendly at all and didn't reply when we'd talk to her. The only star goes for the excellent value for money but now I understand why

It’s the only cool, authentic bar in Sighișoara, and we were surprised that on a Saturday evening it was not full. It’s a must go if you’re in the city.

What a nice little pub. The Ursus Retro was amazing. Made from the communist era recipe. Mmmm.

We spent the New Year's Eve here and the place is quite cosy with every item (chairs, tables or lamps) being one of a kind. It is a small place where you can find all sort of drinks and friendly hosts.

Suuuuper friendly and helpful staff! If you’re going to Sighişoara and have free evening - I’d definitely recommend it. I’ve been 4 times during 6 days in Sighi :) Plus, there’s dart - if you’re into it. We also participated in local quiz but since it was in Romanian.. pub was full of young, hipster-artistic looking people.

A real disappointment. Burgers were worse than at McDonald’s. For french fries we waited for almost an hour. It was soaked with oil, there was no Parmesan on it but a local cheese. There is no knife or fork. Lemonade was nothing special. Beer was good. The waiter although nice and friendly is not professional. Smoking cigarettes or using mobile phones instead of taking care of the clients. The toilet is terrible, nothing is working. At the end we got the receipt with things we didn’t order.

I spent most of the afternoon at this awesome establishment and just loved the atmosphere and genuine staff there. The bartender Adina especially receive a gold star 🌟, but MR made the afternoon with a gold sparkle aswell ✨️ I recommended that everyone give this unique place a chance. You will not regret it!

The food is horrible! I bought the smashed burger, and the bread is so big, that you cant even feel the meat! It tastes like bread with cheese. And, I dont know what the others say about the "high atmosphere" and the "nice music". No music, no people, just the staff and some families, when I came, there was only 1 other family, awfull experience, please avoid!

This little garden bar gem is a not that easy to find, but persevere, and you will find a tranquil environment with lovely staff and few tourists. There are a couple of nice beers available on draught and some classic, Romanian lagers are available in 500 mL bottles. Sit and relax with a beer under the Cherry and Apple trees, it is much cooler in there than the rest of the street areas. Look for the 'Mystic Gardens' signage on the side alley or 'Refresh Smoothie Bar' from the main drag. You won't be disappointed.

This place impressed me so much, that I would like to have this in my garden as well. It has a friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff. They can adapt the drinks to your liking. Love it 😁😍

We came to the bar after visiting the museum (also great). It's so relaxing and comfortable, the family that runs it are incredibly friendly and happy to talk, we ended up coming back three times during our stay. The drinks taste great, I drank smoothies and cocktails which I would recommend to anyone. The live music was a bonus! The food is also super delicious, we had burgers and rustic fries which were a winner all round. Over all a super chill and artsy vibes. Don't miss this place if you're in Sighisoara!!

Had a great afternoon / evening at this little outdoor bar! The staff were so friendly and spoke fantastic English. It is attached to two little artsy exhibits about local history which are good value and entertaining. The atmosphere at the bar was so chill and all the bean bags and hammocks made it really cosy. We had several rounds of cocktails and beers and a burger each. Prices were good and the quality was great. Really enjoyed the live music! Made us feel super welcome on our first night in Romania.

The best pub in town, the people here are so friendly, they even have events such as karaoke. I loved the fussball table, you can even play chess or cards and the owners let the customers choose the music. Andrew the bartender is the best employee, he makes the best drinks and he has the funniest story ever! I really recommend this place

They don’t really seem to be equipped or willing to handle dangerous/problem guests. Some guy that seemed to personally know the bartenders kept aggressively hitting on my girl then tried fighting me when I asked him to stop and we were the ones who had to leave!

If you're planning a visit to Sighișoara, be sure to stop by Valhalla. The hospitality is exceptional, and the cozy atmosphere coupled with the great music makes for a delightful experience. However, what sets Valhalla apart is the amazing creativity of their bartender, Andrei. His unique and creative shots are a must-try and will leave you wanting more. Don't miss out on the opportunity to visit Valhalla and indulge in their outstanding hospitality and signature shots.

Had a great night at Valhalla. We were visiting from the US, enjoyed chatting with the bar owners. Great vibes, cool spot.

Amazing place and nice decor, but all gothic tavern vibe ruined by serving cocktails on plastic cups. Can't taste it properly, such a shame :/

A great bar serving good cocktails and beers (the Noah IPA is hoghlyrecommended!). The owner very friendly and also allowed us to order a food delivery so we had the chance to enjoy a pizza with the drinks

Cute place, handsome bartenders, amazing cocktails, fair prices, warm seats, unique events

If in Sighişoara, you must visit Villa Vinéa. An amazing wine bar where you can do tastings, buy bottles and learn more about Romanian wine. Romania has a type of grape that only grows in their country, so their wine is hard to find somewhere else. I entered the place and was immediately greeted and was given samples. The red wine was amazing! At around $10 for a whole bottle, you definitely must take one home. (Please do, I was so sad I couldn’t because I didn’t have a checked bag on my way back to the US). The glasses of wine are cheap in price — at 8 lei (that’s legit 2 USD for a glass of amazing wine) — but definitely not cheap in taste. Delicious wine! My favorite part, however, was that I got to support this local business. They opened very recently and are working hard to make a name for themselves. You can easily tell they are so passionate about their product. All of the wine is sourced from the Villa Vinea winery that’s nearby. Go get yourself a glass of two, support a local business and I promise you’ll have a great time. Mark my words — this place will be popping soon after it’s discovered by Trip Advisor and all these other tourists, so go before the craziness arrives.

Great wine tasting with a great owner we had a great chat with! Highly recommend a visit of you want to try a range of Romanian wine!

Great place! Highly recommend you must visit. Great vibe, educational and delicious. A secret gem 💎 of Sighisoara 🇷🇴 Romania!

Great selection of wines, looking forward to a tasting once pandemic is over

Ok

Great vineyard!

Ok
