What to eat in Satu Mare
Earthy flavours, farm-fresh ingredients, generous spicing and tried-and-tested cooking methods, handed down from one generation to the next: Romanian dishes revolve around seasonality, as well as religious and family traditions. Top favourite ciorbă is not only a soup for Romanians, it’s an entire genre. The famous local sour soup, made with pork, chicken, beef or fish, comes in dozens of varieties, but none of them misses the refreshing sourness of borș, lemon, lemon salt or sauerkraut juice. A nod to Turkey’s kofta, mici is another MVP of local’s dining table and barbecue parties. These juicy, grilled meat rolls are made of a mixture of beef, lamb and pork, spiced to perfection. Head to No Pardon Pub on Strada Corvinilor for a full-blown gastro-experience.
