The Outlaws' Hut (Coliba Haiducilor in Romanian) has been serving traditional Romanian mountain food since the early 1980s, and regulars argue it is the best of its kind in the country. The décor leans heavily into the haiduc outlaw theme — rough-hewn wood, animal skins, folk artefacts on the walls — and the menu matches: sarmale (stuffed cabbage rolls), mici (grilled meat rolls), ciorbă de burtă (tripe soup, a hangover cure and national institution), and slow-braised lamb.
Portions are large and prices are very reasonable by Western standards. In ski season it gets busy on weekends; book ahead. The live folk music on weekend evenings makes for a noisy but entertaining dinner. Located in the middle of the resort village, walkable from most accommodation.
