The Vision
OMELETT is about fresh ingredients, joy of cooking and bringing a ray of sunshine to anyone visiting us.
Everything is designed & cooked entirely by us, including the cakes, dressings, infused oils, the chai latte mix, the smoothies and cocktails and all the rest.
The Menu is refreshed seasonally, to make the most of the local ingredients available only for short periods of time.
We prefer a short but very carefully designed menu, where each meal & drink is unique.
The Menu has 10 main courses, 1 special soup, 1 super special main course, 3 desserts, 8 bubbly drinks, 4 smoothies (which could also be enjoyed as lemonades), specialty coffee roasted in Brașov, 1 guest craft beer, matcha, chai latte and some good tea. That's it. You will want to try them all.
Each meal starts with eggs as a base (except the vegan ones), cooked in a classic & recognizable way (poached, fried, omelette, scrambled etc), then adding vegetables, cheeses, spices, spreads, nuts & seeds until the final dish is a completely new story. And so, each meal is inspired by a movie.
We will always have something vegan, gluten free bread and a child friendly meal.
And always, we will have the classic boiled egg served in ”coquetier”, accompanied by sophisticated butter, toast, cheeses and charcuterie.
The desserts are created and baked by us, order early as they are in limited quantites, so... when it's gone, it's gone.
We encourage you to explore Tâmpa Mount, Dealul Cetății and The White Tower monument. Do this in style with our Picnic Baskets with everything needed for two (or more): 2 perfect meals, 2 desserts, bread & butter, sparkling wine, smoothies, wooden cutlery and a lovely woven basket with lid. Just remember to order these 3 hrs in advance.
Enjoy!

The Design
The Vision was to create a forget-about-the-world location in Brașov, happy, optimistic and relaxed, just as we wish the world to be.
OMELETT is inspired by sunrise, when yellows and oranges blend with earthy reds and the bluest of skies.
The Architects Sînziana & Pierre Bortnowski from TeamBuilt shaped each detail of the story into one perfect carousel of colours, textures and light.
The building is indeed old, from 1910, when Brașov had a streetcar. We removed layers upon layers of materials added by previous owners and eventually, and with great pains, we uncovered the originally painted ceilings of the restaurant and exposed most of the brick arches in the basement. We hope you enjoy these, just as they are.
We dream that one day, the buildings of Old Town Brașov will regain their old charm and authenticity.

Also, our friends, families and customers (some of whom overlap), were of great support to start this new adventure.
