We went to FRACT twice in a period of a few days as our first experience was so outstanding and we wanted to try out more of their menu items. The service was stellar in every respect, and the food was excellent. I cannot say enough about the knowledgeable staff and personable chef. Some of the best service we've received by a long shot!
Firstly, I must mention that their menu items differ from the standard fare served at most restaurants in the city. Although the food in Brașov is increadibly tasty, the change was very welcome.
I had the French onion soup which was the best I had outside of France, very cheesy and rich. My friend's butterfish was wonderful and perfectly cooked. The accompanying romesco sauce was delicious as well.
As for the desserts, they were spectacular! I particularly loved the sticky date pudding with the most moorish sauce we've ever had, as well and the delicious pain perdu. On our second time around, we had the most incredible duck leg dish. The duck was so tender and flavourful, as was the rest of that dish. Absolute perfection! The ribs were so flavourful and tender, as was the perfectly cooked beef flank schnitzel. The fries with the horseradish mayo was worth a double order. The attention paid to the sourcing of every ingredient was so special and made our experience that much richer.
Lastly, the drinks, from the cocktails to the wine, were excellent. Great job with the recommendations!
We cannot wait to return to Brașov and...
Read moreWhat can I say. I can recommend the FRACT without exception. This is my first evening in the city and my accommodation is a few streets away. One Google search later, I'm sitting here and can only confirm the previous reviews. It's amazing ! From the outside (especially now at night) it's totally inconspicuous in the middle of the city and only advertised in very small letters on one of the pillars.
At first I was worried that there was nothing going on and only two women sitting in there. Is it any good at all?
After Sebastian greeted me warmly, handed me the menu and I had my first bite of the burger, I knew: this is the place for me (and for you when you're reading my review).
The burger was super tasty, huge, the dipping sauce with the wedges was great. For dessert, I had to indulge in the sorbet with bananas and a little crumble. I can only recommend this.
I also liked the ambience, the decor and everything around it. The insight (throw the glass door) into the kitchen makes it feel a bit like home and some friend ist cooking for you.
Sebastian simply rounded it off with his friendly manner, keep up the good work and for everyone who has read this so far. Take a look at it and go there!
Supplement: Even if it's unlikely, I definitely have to visit in summer. I'd love to experience...
Read more**this is the find you will never forget. The atmosphere is cozy, in and out, and the decor screams charm. How do you describe goodness, flavors that burst and become a party in your mouth, a cornucopia of color, and a selection of menu items for everyone . I am a vegan, my sister, a vegetarian /pescatarian, we searched for something that suited both of us without compromise to the restaurant we seek out. We also wanted something with Romania flair. This find was perfect. To start, we shared the hummus plate - ohhhh, the blend, consistency, texture, and flavor were on point. Basically, can eat with a fork by itself. it's that good. I then had the Bulgar oriental. It was mixed with eggplant, chickpeas, tomatoes, and a bunch of spices that brought this dish to utter perfection. My sister had the salmon burger (fresh chunk of salmon, grilled) with potato wedges. She loved.. It also serves meat eater with tomahawk steaks, etc.. pls see their menu (I did not snap the inside shot) . A selection of craft beer, wide array of cocktails with premium liquor and soft drinks available. The owners have recently opened this spot (7 months ago), and their vision is very clear. A well-balanced meal for anyone in your party. Do go, you will not be...
