From farm to table: a culinary experience rooted in Transylvanian traditions

Each dish you taste at Bethlen Estates is a story of here and now, an invitation to grasp, for a few exquisite moments, the very fabric of the present moment. Made with seasonal ingredients that are harvested in the morning to be served that same afternoon, from gardens, farms and forests you can reach by foot from the restaurant, our menu captures the essence of Transylvanian gastronomy.  

Embracing seasonal and local ingredients

At the core of our fine dining experience lies a deep respect for the land and the rich culinary heritage that has been passed down through generations. Our farm-to-table concept is not just a dining philosophy, it is a way of life that honours the flavours and traditions of this unique region.

After traveling the world and cooking alongside some of the best culinary masters, Chef Róbert Tordai has turned his attention closer to home, drawing inspiration from the local cuisine and his own gastronomic memories, while carefully sourcing the freshest ingredients and produce from trusted farmers, growers and artisans. 

Each day, our Chef embarks on a journey of selection, handpicking ingredients that are in season and embody the flavours of Transylvania. From the tender lamb that roams freely on nearby pastures to the earthy wild mushrooms harvested from our forests, each ingredient is chosen with care and respect for its origin.
