About the place

Casa Kraus is the former Saxon parish house of Criț, rebuilt to the plans of the 19th-century building and opened in 2014. Besides its nine rooms it has a cellar restaurant with about 60 seats and a large courtyard, separated from the fortified church only by an old wooden door.

The cooking starts from Saxon recipes: soups, cabbage rolls, chicken, beef brisket and apple pie or strudel. You can come just for a meal without staying, and vegetarians can put together a dinner from side dishes and grilled vegetables. It holds 4.5 on Google from more than 540 reviews. Opening hours are not published.
