Grilled Romanian minced-meat rolls with mustard, the dish reviewers mention most.
Traditional Romanian recipes, made from the heart, in the sunshine of Costa Adeje, Tenerife. The same flavours as home, since 2012.
Restaurante Transilvania welcomes you with a varied menu of Romanian dishes, alongside recipes carrying the influences of the Hungarian and German communities of Transylvania. It is the traditional cuisine of Romania's most storied province, cooked fresh, every day.
Opened in 2012 on Calle Helsinki in Costa Adeje, right by the road linking the west to the south of the island, ours is a kitchen that tastes of home.
Over the years, Transilvania has become a home away from home for the Romanian community across Tenerife, and a discovery for travellers who want to taste something genuinely different. Whether you come for a quick plate of mici or a long table with the family, you are always welcome.
“The food I prepare is like my grandmother's, it can suit every guest, from the most demanding to the most traditional.” Maria Beleiu, chef & owner
