Ciuleandra / traditional romanian restaurant


This is a small traditional restaurant we've made back in 2002, at the underground level of the Best Western Topaz hotel in Cluj Napoca


With a functional fireplace and 90% of the lightning done with candles, the restaurant offers a pleasant and cosy atmosphere, often animated by live gipsy fiddlers.

The different textures of lime stone, aged wood finishings and cast iron details, were all made with 
clear references to rustic Transylvanian craft working. The tableware was custom made by famous Korond artisans, and all the woodwork (furniture, doors, celling) were handcrafted in our own workshop.
