Overview
Unhealthy Food Tour is a harmonious blend of old and new, food and beverages, history, and architecture. It starts with a snack: “The taste of communism” – Romanian Pretzel and Sana Yoghurt.
After 15 minutes ride on a tram we arrive at Obor Market – one of Romania’s biggest and oldest traditional markets, which has been around for more than 300 years. Here you can find anything from cheese and meat products, spices, and handcrafted wooden bowls sold at market stalls and small shops spread over some 26,000 square meters. A well-known terrace selling “mititei” and cool beer is our next great spot for an unhealthy stop. After this authentic experience, we’ll hop in a trolleybus this time and head to another area filled with history – between University Square and Cismigiu Park.
Our tour will end in a fine and traditional restaurant (Caru cu bere mostly) where we’ll have sweet Wallachian doughnuts called Papanasi, served hot, filled with jam and delicious sour cream on top.
