🇦🇺 Melbourne | Cafe Transylvania Romanian Restaurant Exploration 🇷

Today, we explored a Romanian restaurant located in Hallam: Cafe Transylvania, and it was 🌟 absolutely amazing! 🌟 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳 It's a family-run business, and the owners are extremely warm and welcoming! The service was 🌟 nothing short of 7-star quality! 🌟 They started by offering us a complimentary shot of liquor, which was 🔥 50 degrees strong! 🔥 We're not big drinkers, but we couldn't refuse their hospitality. My husband tried it and said it was 👍 exceptional! He's never found a liquor this good before! According to him, it had a sweet aroma, without the usual alcohol taste, reminiscent of chocolate, but it was very potent. We were so impressed that we bought a bottle to share with family and friends later. 1⃣️ We ordered goulash soup, which is said to be a local specialty. Since there were two of us, the owner served the soup in two halves. The picture is actually 🍲 half of the soup. 🍲 It was very delicious, and the bread for dipping was just right. 2⃣️ We also ordered a grilled main course that included pork chops, spicy sausages, and cevapcici. The pork chops were 👏 outstanding! The skin was crispy, and the chop was very flavorful without being salty, without any unpleasant pork taste, and it wasn't just the sauce that made it tasty; it was delicious on its own and not greasy at all. The cevapcici was made by the owner himself, who said it was skinless sausage, very unique and delicious! 3⃣️ The owner gave us a small cake as a gift. The base had a hazelnut and walnut crunch that was very tasty, so we ordered a full portion to enjoy. 4⃣️ The owner also gave us a sample of another dish, cabbage rolls, which were made with pickled cabbage wrapped around beef and pork. The cabbage was pickled, similar to Chinese sauerkraut in method but with a different flavor. This restaurant has a Google rating of 🌟 4.9, 🌟 and after trying it, it truly lives up to its reputation! It feels great to live in Melbourne, where you can experience authentic cuisines from all over the world. #MelbourneLife #MelbourneExplores #ExploresWithMe #MelbourneDaily #MelbourneRestaurants #MelbourneFood #MelbourneFoodExploration #RomanianCuisine 🇷🇴 #MelbourneHiddenGems #AusFood #AusFoodCheckin #Food
