We build our cuisine around Transylvanian products and the people behind them.

OUR STORY

Shaped by Seasons and Stories

Our menu changes weekly, guided by nature’s rhythm and a deep respect for ingredients, producers, and place. Sustainability is not a statement, it is our daily practice.

Cimbru Author was born from the desire to cook closer to nature and closer to truth. After years of international experience and building the foundations of Cimbru Food Truck and Cimbru Restaurant, Chef Nicolae Crăciun envisioned a space where creativity could fully follow the rhythm of the seasons.

Here, we focus on Transylvanian terroir, working directly with farmers, foragers, cheesemakers, butchers, brewers, and artisans who share our values. The menu evolves weekly because we allow products and producers to lead the creative process.

our philosophy

The kitchen is serene and focused.

Creativity emerges from discipline and respect for craft. Every ingredient is treated with purpose, every plate carefully balanced in flavour, texture, and design. Transylvanian produce guides everything we do, resulting in dishes that are contemporary, yet true to their origins.

IN RHYTHM

with NATURE

Our menu changes weekly. Because nature does not repeat itself. Or it does, along with the seasons.

Sustainability

Our Impact

  • We work closely with farmers, foragers, and artisans around us.
  • We build relationships, not supply chains.
  • We cook what is ready. We preserve what must last.

 

Sustainability, for us, is not a concept to communicate. It is a way to function. Quietly, consistently, every day.
