» Bite your way through Timișoara

Join us on a culinary journey through Timișoara, discovering its modern and traditional street food. The street food scene here reflects the city’s multicultural heritage, with influences from Hungarian, Serbian, Turkish, and Romanian cuisines. Let’s embark on a delicious street food tour through the city!

Meeting point – in front of the Opera in Victory Square (Piața Victoriei)

Begin your street food journey in the picturesque Victory Square, surrounded by beautiful buildings. We will walk around the city where we will try the langoș – a Hungarian classic very much beloved by locals. This flavourful crispy deep fried dough comes with many choices for toppings – sweet or salty, it is definitely a local favourite.

While walking around the old town of Timișoara, we will also try the simple, yet easiest on-the-go breakfast, the Covrig and Sana – the Romanian pretzel that comes with different seasonings (poppy seeds, sesame seeds, salt or cheese), paired with our special fermented milk drink that has been popular for centuries.

We’ll leave the city centre behind and take the public transportation to one of our historical neighborhoods, the Fabric area. Here we will taste some locally produced pastry products before heading off to Timisoara’s largest farmer’s market. The market is a great spot to explore a variety of fresh produce, artisanal goods, and homemade delicacies. Street food vendors set up near the market, offering a unique experience to try some authentic Romanian flavours. A must try are the traditional mici (mititei). These small, savoury meat rolls made of minced meat (typically beef and pork) are seasoned with garlic and grilled to perfection. Served with mustard and fresh bread, they make for a great local experience. We’ll add a pint of local beer to actually have them like locals do.

As we move back to the city centre, at our last stop we will be learning about favourite desserts in Timișoara. We’ll try a local favourite sweet and learn about the rich culture of desserts along the past century.

Timișoara’s street food scene offers a diverse and flavourful experience, blending local traditions with international influences. Whether you’re snacking on a fresh cheesy langoș in Union Square or grabbing a Serbian pleșkavița in Victory Square, the city offers something for every food lover.
