Timisoara Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Timisoara
Charming Timisoara is often referred to as “Little Vienna,” and indeed, Austrian influences are evident in the architecture, food and culture. This is a walking city, divided into squares that showcase stunning architectural gems. Downtown is reserved for pedestrians only, and the best time to visit is at twilight, when you can sip a hot wine as you stroll amid sparkling lights.

We had a dive into the Romanian cuisine in this place. With a surprise more: they offer also international recipes, very well prepared. It's a local cozy restaurant, with a very gentle service and good food. The chef focus on the presentation as well, that is a plus for us. I had a delicious foie gras, my wife an epic pork ribs slowly cooked. Very interesting the dessert, like a cold jelly vin brulè with cream, crunchy on top. Very good also the quality-price % .

We been here for dinner. The place is in the south zone of Timisoara, better call an Uber to get there if you are not a local. It's very nice inside and outside with a little garden. The service, the interior design ecc show that they aspire to be the best restaurant in town. But when it comes to the food we felt that something was missing. The menu ( they use wifi tablets and I really don't appreciate that, a classy restaurant need to use paper) is too big. The choise is too much in my opinion and this reflects to what you eat. Let's be clear : the food is good, but nothing you will remember of. My mix Fritto Misto was good, but some octopus slice too big, and too hard to chew. My wife had a Fish Soup, again the octopus too too big sliced and hard. It looks like thay cut everything the same and cooked for diffenet recipes.The steamed vegetables we order as side were really overcooked. It's good for business lunch in my opinion.

High prices that will not give you a high quality food. The place is nice but the food plain with no taste. I try the pasta and could not even finish them....

Cozy atmosphere inside on a cold winter night with classic rock music or outside on the Terrace in summer with excellent views of beautiful Unirii Square. The crowd is a mix of foreigners and locals. The food is great and very decently priced. Also they serve cooked food much later then any other places around! They have a very good selection of beers. I recommend the ribs!

Reviewed By MIhai M - Timisoara, Romania
I went there to lunch with my wife. We prebooked a table and had a very nice two course meal. The portions are balanced, served nicely and with a bit of a twist. The service was about average but the place itself was not spectacular. Better than most though. I recommend it.
7. La Strada The Food Architects
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 339 reviews
Our enthusiasm is the best proof of respect for our customers, to whom we offer a simple but challenging menu, loaded only with fresh ingredients. We don't use a freezer and we don't use anything store bought preprepared. We guarantee a unique lunch every day at a very fair price, a complex and fantastic dinner and offer a fine selection of wines, beers & spirits. PS. If you want to try traditional 1946 Romanian Palinca, this is the place to be.

Reviewed By Adi_Adnov - Timisoara, Romania
The restaurant is situated in an old historical building. This contributes in creating a nice atmosphere in that place. The food was absolutely delicious and service good as well. The drinks are kind of expensive and come in small glasses, but this is no problem because the food is the main reason to go there. Definitely I will return there.
