On the whole, the food in Romania has been disappointing. It seems to be primarily meat based, with a smattering of vegetables like cabbage and potato. A ubiquitous part of the cuisine is the accompaniment of polenta with many of the meat dishes. Some other particularities include the use of cheese. Romania’s cheese is very soft, much like feta, and is often sweet. A typical desert is deep-fried cheese with lemon.
Alongside the local Romanian restaurants in the cities are Italian restaurants. Pizza and pasta are very popular here, and Italian restaurants are fixtures of every city. This is good, because you can get some nice salads at these restaurants. Healthy food seems to be sorely lacking in the local cuisine.
