About this tour
This session shows Sibiu's Saxon-Romanian food through a restaurant built into an old town cellar. You see the cellar space itself before the camera moves to the kitchen counter, where I point out a few dishes typical of the region, from braised cabbage with smoked meat to a local sausage. The session stays inside the one cellar throughout.
We open with a short sound check in the cellar. I keep a formal, informative pace and take questions about the dishes as we go. Afterwards I send a short list of what we saw on the counter.
This suits anyone curious about local food away from the main squares. It also works well booked before dinner in the old town.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera

Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Sibiu, showing you A cellar kitchen and The day's dishes live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
