Max The Original

This place was pretty great! Birds were singing in the bathroom, the waiter kept making jokes and the inside was damn cozy. As for the food, the food was just great! I simply loved the duck breast with celery mousse. Really good combination! The dessert was also delicious! All in all a good experience! Nothing disappointed and we'll definitely return!

This place is the definition of "fine dining" in Sibiu. Food was excellent, drinks were good and the staff very kind and professional. They took my gluten free request without any issue providing a couple of options safe for a celiac. They catered for other allergies as well. Quite happy with our experience. Prices, however, are on the higher end too

A delightful time dining here (twice!) This is a great Italian style casual restaurant. Has a nice open courtyard plus a large indoor seating area. We went there on both nights during our visit to Sibiu (once in courtyard & once inside) and served by the lovely Roxanna who was friendly, helpful & made us feel welcome with her smiles & attentive service (despite restaurant being very busy both nights). The food is delicious, generous in portions & reasonably priced. The drinks menu had a decent range of local wines priced below 100 lei. Standouts of our food was the grilled octopus, the duck dish, steak, fish as well as the various pastas & salads. Our group of 9 managed to try out almost the entire menu during our 2 visits & no dish disappointed us! Our 2nd visit was by default as we decided to leave another restaurant around the corner due to bad indifferent service plus no food after 90 minutes of waiting (check my other review for this) & arrived after 9 pm. Despite being busy, Roxanne found us a table of 9, organised our drinks/meal & we were happily eating away within 10 minutes of being seated. Excellent service from all the wait staff - they gave us good eye contact & checked on tables frequently to clear dishes etc, smiled alot & were sincere in ensuring we enjoyed our meal. There was even live music in the courtyard during our 2nd visit - very entertaining & enjoyable. Well done Max The original & we highly recommend this place.

Delicious food, tasty fish and as always amazing grilled salad 🥗 staff is very friendly, kind and polite too!!! Place is amazing with a nice positive atmosphere. Must visit place for travellers when in Sibiu. Highly Recommend!!!

I strongly recommend Max - nestled in the beautiful old town of Sibiu, it was really a pleasure to spend the night there. Food was so good, especially the beef that Bogdan recommended was amazing, maybe the best we've tried. The cornmeal cheesecake was truly delightful too (still thinking about it). The ambiance was warm and very cozy for a winter night. And as a bonus - there is a wheelchair accessible entrance (it's an alternative one so notify the place in advance) and wheelchair accessible toilet. Will definitely come back again if I'm in Sibiu.

Wonderful surprise only because they were open on Easter Sunday and I sort of had no choice but the food and service exceeded my expectations. I've had the tartare which was decent but a tad overpriced for the quantity and lamb chops with aubergine, the last dish was superlative. The drinks menu is separate from the food menu and quite varied although the draught beer selection is very limited, wine selection is much better. The service was excellent, considerate waitresses, short time waiting for the dishes and very professional. They have a lot of space on the terrace and inside, nicely decorated and located in an old house that's an historical monument.

Very good food and very nice restaurant for vegetarian lovers. If you are a vegetarian person and are looking for a nice place to eat in Sibiu then definitely you should visit Max - the original as their food quality and taste is the best. I loved it specially the lentil curry and grilled salad. Next time I will eat fillet trout. Thank You Max restaurant. Youre the best !!!

A nice little restaurant a little bit offside the main tourist streams. But you get a warm welcome. The menu offers many options for all tastes, from meat to seafood and also a lot of vegetarian options. The background music I liked also, very nice old songs from the eighties and older. I ordered a potatoe soup with truffels and a stirleon steak offered on a hot stone. The potatoe soup was a huge portion and ok. The steak came raw sizzling on the hot stone and was finalized in front of me by the very nice waiter. The meat was delicious, however, a big part I could not eat because of flaxes. I understand, that there are maybe one or two, but I had about ten. As a desert I went for the pavlova (a kind of panna cotta I would say) with strawberries and rasperries. This was great. Prices are reasonable. The 10% tip is included on the bill, which is uncommon but fair and they tell you. Service is very friendly and fast. So I can recommend this place.
