Dei Frati, Restaurant in Brasov, Romania
Dei Frati is a restaurant in the center of Brasov, Romania, serving Romanian and international dishes made with ingredients from producers in the Carpathian region. It has both an indoor dining room and an outdoor seating area, and the menu covers starters, main courses, and desserts.
Brasov was founded as a trading post by Saxon settlers in the medieval period and grew into one of the main cities of Transylvania. The restaurant is located near this old center, in a part of the city that has been continuously inhabited since those early centuries.
The name Dei Frati means "of the friars" in Italian, a nod to the religious history of the area around Brasov. Inside, the decor draws on local Transylvanian motifs, giving the dining room a regional character that sets it apart from generic restaurants.
Online reservations are available and recommended on weekends, when the restaurant tends to fill up quickly. Those who prefer outdoor seating should request it in advance, as the terrace has limited space.
The menu at Dei Frati changes with the seasons, so a visitor in winter will find a different selection than one who comes in summer. This rotation is tied directly to what local producers bring in, which means some dishes appear only for a few weeks each year.
