5 places in Covasna where to eat the best goulash or a traditional dish. To hear it, sure you've heard it, to test it, you may have already done it, but was it the right thing? Who is it about? The famous Hungarian goulash (gulyás in Hungarian), the dish that delights your taste buds and gives you the satisfaction of a delicious and filling meal.
Gulyás is the only Hungarian dish known by most people. But what they imagine about gulyás rarely resembles the real Hungarian dish. To begin with, it should be mentioned that the real gulyás is not a stew, as is often thought. It is a delicious soup, hearty enough to be a complete meal. In our country, however, you will find this dish in either the stews or soups category, and depending on its consistency, it can be categorized as one of the two.
Károly Gundel, the famous Hungarian chef of the early 20th century, writes in his Hungarian Cookbook: 'Outside Hungary, almost all dishes seasoned with paprika are labeled goulash'. Indeed, paprika is an essential ingredient in gulyás, but that's not all.
So if you want to try a real Hungarian goulash as well as a traditional dish, Covasna has a few places to choose from, and 5 of them are the best choice you can make:
The Gulyás Inn, a Hungarian restaurant in Chichiș, awaits its guests with many delicacies. As the name itself says, one of the specialties of the house is the goulash stew. But the restaurant also offers other delicacies worth trying and savoring. For example: fisherman's soup, belly paprikash with smoked bacon or chicken breast with cream, dill and peppers are just a few of the inn's delicacies. The others are for you to discover on the spot.
The restaurant, housed in a 200-year-old building, offers a rustic setting and a cozy atmosphere, where in addition to traditional dishes from the region, guests can enjoy local and international cuisine. The old, traditional Szekler atmosphere is created not only by the furniture and folk art objects reflecting the Szekler tradition, but also by the music, and the waiters dressed in traditional Szekler costume. A real delight!
As you can see from the name of the place, the emphasis here is placed on traditional Secler dishes, which are prepared and served by a young and enthusiastic staff, ready to please any customer who crosses their threshold with a fast and friendly service.
The Stone Pub is the most archaic building in Micloșoara. Guests usually meet here for pre-dinner drinks after returning from their excursions or daytime activities, or even before visiting the Museum of Transylvanian Life. What's more, here you can taste fresh kürtőskalács or apple pie "just like at home", but something even more special can be a goulash served in this extremely pleasant ambience. In the Stone Pub you can also buy Transylvanian souvenirs for your loved ones.
This location is the rustic area of the Balvanyos Resort, which includes a restaurant and a terrace specially designed for traditional snacks, right out of grandma's oven. The GastroLab's innovative cuisine is based on the origins and recipes of the Secler origin, but reinterpreted according to 21st-century gastronomic customs. In the evenings, BBQ dinners, campfire get-togethers or cooking contests are organized here, according to participants' preferences. A must try atmosphere!
Master culinary art - this is how this place can be described. This is what those who dine at Kovács - The Castle Restaurant will experience. It offers quality food and drink at affordable prices, serving both local and international cuisine. The specialties on the menu, especially the local specialties, are revamped or "spiced up" in such a way that they retain their authentic taste while keeping in tune with the latest trends.
Here's a tip: It's worth trying the artisanal-style rooster soup with vegetables and smoked quail eggs, as well as the butcher's goulash. Not only will they quench your hunger, but you'll be left with the taste of something special and a unique culinary experience.
