About this tour
This session shows the food side of Sighișoara's citadel through a courtyard restaurant built inside a Renaissance-era house. You see the courtyard itself before the camera moves to the kitchen window, where I point out a few traditional Saxon-Romanian dishes on the day's menu. The session stays inside the one courtyard throughout.
We open with a short sound check in the courtyard. I keep a warm, relaxed pace and take questions about the dishes as we go. Afterwards I send a short list of what we saw being prepared.
This suits anyone curious about local food beyond the citadel's history. It also works well booked before dinner somewhere 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
