$20 for $40 Worth of Eastern-European Cuisine

The menu’s traditional Romanian cabbage rolls ($12) pave the way for pan-fried pork or chicken schnitzel ($17.95), beef goulash stew ($18.95), and Transylvanian beef tenderloin steak in a mushroom ragout sauce ($24.95).

Transylvania Flavour

Eager to share the culinary traditions of both their culture and their family with fellow Vancouverites, Joanna and Nick Cruciat opened Transylvania Flavour in 2004. They have since been lauded by the Globe and Mail for creating “rib-sticking fare” and fostering a “cozy Old World charm” within their homey space. Upholding this dedication to authentic Eastern-European eats are the restaurant's chef and European chef consultant, who join their culinary powers and Dracula-figurine collections to forge traditional Transylvanian specialties including roasted beets, cabbage rolls, and perogies. Affable servers whisk these housemade masterpieces from the kitchen into the yellow and red dining room, setting steaming bowls and plates to rest on top of crisp white tablecloths.
