Our story

A live-fire tavern in Șchei

„Birt” is the old word for a tavern - the place where you stop, sit by the fire, and eat your fill. That's what we are.

Live fire on the tavern grill in Șchei

In the oldest quarter

Șchei is Brașov's old Romanian quarter - home to St. Nicholas Church, the First Romanian School, and lanes that climb toward the mountains. Here, steps from Piața Unirii, we lit the fire. Not in some cold, brand-new spot, but in a tavern as it should be: wood, stone, iron and the smell of smoke.

Fire at the centre

Everything begins with the coals. We don't cook to be fast, we cook to be right: meat seared over live fire, naturally smoked, allowed to take its flavour from the wood. The fire isn't decoration - it's our kitchen.

Game, done right

Venison, wild boar, exotic cuts - game is what sets us apart. We source it only from legal, certified suppliers, with paperwork in order. That's not red tape: it's the guarantee that what reaches the grill is clean, traceable and cooked with respect for the animal and the guest.

The spit-roast, a spectacle

For groups and special occasions, we turn a whole spit-roast over the fire. It's a meal and a sight at once - pork, lamb or venison, turned patiently for hours. Order it at least 48 hours ahead.

Come feel the fire. We'll be waiting in Șchei.
