Traditional Romanian cuisine features dishes like sarmale (cabbage rolls), mămăligă (cornmeal porridge or polenta), ciorbă (sour soup), and mititei (grilled sausages), each reflecting the country's diverse cultural heritage and agricultural abundance.

It was difficult to choose just a few traditional Romanian dishes for this guide. Growing up eating mostly traditional food, I remember countless delicious dishes that warmed me in winter and cooled me in summer.
Nothing beats a hearty pork stew on a chilly winter afternoon. Likewise, enjoying fresh telemea cheese with red onions and smoked lardons on a balmy summer evening, followed by a cold slice of watermelon, is simply unbeatable.
