Convivial Bistro in the Heart of Brasov

Festival ‘39 Bistro in the heart of Brasov’s historic city centre celebrates bygone years with an opulent 1930s decor, live jazz music and an extensive choice of excellent Romanian, Hungarian, Italian and international cuisine. Co-owner and manager Tibor Denes says, “We can accommodate up to 140 people at a time and we sometimes rent the restaurant for special events. Our guests can come here to have a good time with their friends for anything from a full meal to just enjoying a glass of wine or beer. We have the best atmosphere of any restaurant in the city along with the best food and drinks.”

Praised on Trip Advisor

Many international visitors to Romania have already discovered Festival ‘39, which won the coveted TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence in 2013. The restaurant often serves business travellers and Tibor Denes expects to welcome more tourism visitors as Brasov’s attractions become better known. He is also considering franchising the restaurant and opening new locations in other historic cities in Romania, including Sibiu, Cluj and Sighisoara. To international travellers, he says, “When you come to Brasov, visit Festival ‘39. We will be happy to welcome you.”
