Romania
Savor a bowl of sarmale—Romania’s take on stuffed cabbage leaves.
user ratingNeighbor to Bulgaria and Ukraine, home to the Transylvanian Alps and the Danube River as it flows into the Black Sea, Romania has a food culture as rich and intriguing as its geography and history.
Traditional dishes include pickled cabbage leaves filled with minced meat, spices and rice known as sarmale; ciorba de perisoare or meatball soup; rabbit stew simmered with red wine; wild boar or deer steak; and polenta with locally foraged mushrooms.
Sweet cheesecake called pasca is popular along with cottage cheese doughnuts served with fruit preserves and sour cream. Romanian drinks include tuica, a strong plum brandy, local beers such as Kaiser and Silva and wines from varying regions of Romania, a major wine producer.—Leska Tomash
