i recommend no more than 5 mici /at table , 5 is maximum! , otherwise will be dangerous for you to eat in every day ... 5 mici / week it's perfect (saturday or sunday , barbeque),if you eat in every day many you could become fat ...and of course ,a draft beer, suits perfect this food (no wine ,vodka,or other alcohool drink!) just Mici+Beer , add also a portion of fries...5 mici + a little mustard + fries + a draft beer = perfect combination
If you want amazing mici go in Sinaia at "Popas Alpin". That are the best mici in Romania. They are made specifically for that restaurant and they are not available outside of that place (kinda home made - extremely clean meat)
Haha, Steve, u r just looking for attention, maybe out of boredom since Ivana has a cold :P As a romanian, Im eating mici 3-4 times per year max, so its simple. Drop the mici and try soups/ciorba or salads of many kinds, eggplant mostly or zacusca, the best, or even a normal pizza or a șaorma/shawarma or whatever. U wont go hungry in Rou. Just watch for the ideas the Mark Wiens` proposed in his Romanian Culinary Series if soooo bored and if u really want out of the ”mici-addiction” ;) :P :P
Now we see what you meant when you said you "like mici with your mustard", Steve. Although, I feel doing it like that would not be considered elegant mici-eating by the natives!
Traditional MICI ( skinless sausages) Recipe: two types ground red meat 3/4 ( Beef, Lamb, Veal ,Sheep, Pork) ground raw animal fat 1/4, add concentrate beef broth till consistence of a thick paste, add salt, garlic , peper, a pinch of baking soda, dried thyme (summer savory). Stir well all and leave for one night in a cold place. Form sausages, bake on charcoal grill, on medium heat. Serve with fresh bread and sweet mustard.
Would love to try mici. It looks very good. Thank you to your friends for being so kind to you both. Big hugs Steve and Ivana. Get well soon. 🙏 Keep safe, healthy and happy.
forgot to comment , but gonna comment because i know it helps abit to push the video , been on the fence about moving to romania with my gf we are from Canada , these videos continue to make me feel more and more better about making that decision
My God! I’ve watched a few videos now of you eating mici and I’ve been drooling each time but today it’s been worse than ever. I’m in Scotland and the Romanian shop isn’t that close to us, but managed to find them on Deliveroo and put an order through for mici and mustard. 😂 I need to stop watching your videos as I miss Romanian food so much.
Hi Steve, as a Romanian who lived in Brasov and lives now in Canada , I can help you finding the best mici in Toronto area. On top of that, we can get mustard Bunica!!!
I’ve been watching your videos and now all I can think about is mici… all day long! 🤤🤤🤤 Keep the good work guys, you are just great! Hope Ivana gets well soon, though! 🤗🤗🤗
ANY mici is the best mici for me! You cannot go wrong! Mustard is a must-have! Tip for any Food Vloggers visiting Romania: try your first mici, WITH mustard, after you can try the meat on its own... Bread is good, but mici...I could do with about 20 right now!🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️
As a romanian I often feel like mustard (the creamy one) has been invented mostly for mici haha. I barely eat mustard (even in my own house / at home) if I don't have mici at home. I feeI Iike it's close to being useIess having it without at least a plan to eat mici soon (like.. this week or in the next week or at least in that month). For other types of food with grilled (fried) meat I prefer condiments (spices) or especially the garlic sauce. Edit: Well.. the sausages are good with mustard too.. but they are processed or ultra processed and that makes them a LESS healthy food (for your human organism).
mici are basically the equivalent of Romanian burgers in a way...gotta travel and try to find the best ones. Also, dont ask the vendors, because they all say they have the best ones. lol
Now you tell me .. How i am going to sleep tonight thinking of this mici from Australia. they never gonna taste the same here :)))) i can find mustard maybe hahah, grea videos guys. Multumesc!!!
I’ve watched your past month vlogs for the last two hours. Great to see Bucharest and other main destinations through your eyes, interesting perspective. All that grafitti and the complicated crosseoads, never really notice them anymore hahah. Enjoy the rest of your stay!
@@johnconnor555 recordul meu e de 18 mici si apoi m-am dus la antrenament. Mi-a fost rau, dar nu am vomitat si nu sunt nici pe departe vreun gras obisnuit cu mancarea. Daca halesti rapid, poti manca orice mai mult.
I missed Ivana here, usually she would be commenting too. Get well soon lvana, drink lots of fluid, Vit C and eat garlic n honey. This vlog reminds me to buy meat(beef) and mix with pork , for mici. I also need to buy mustard online! And then make my own pickled cucumber /dill. Yes, l have mici recipe, but l have yet to get those ingredients ...!
Dude, mici are a whole philosophy. It is THE Romanian street food par excellence. I use to try 3 pieces first; if they meet my fancy, I'm gonna eat up to 12. Most important is that they HAVE to be BBQed on charcoal! Minced meat should be beef or beef with sheep; nowadays the most commercialy available mici are of beef and pork. The beef stock for the juicyness of the mixture is mandatory. Mustard is optional; it can distort the rich spice flavour. I prefer garlic sauce and crunchy flat bread or freshly cut fried potatoes. Recommendations for Bucharest according to my own experience: Zexe Zahana, City Grill, Terasa Obor and La Platou (Obor Market). Other often mentioned places in Bucharest: La Cocosatu', La Gil and La Ciotoianu (Popesti-Leordeni suburb). Pure joy for you and your environment with those garlicky burps afterwards!
You can find Rapid Bucuresti T-Shirt at the stadium National Arena at the game we'll play against Craiova .. it will be a fan Shop installed there inside the stadium with scarfs and everything
haha love this videos bro! follow since romania!❤️ keep going with this video! i think you should visit delta dunarii as well. soo nice and special in all the world. has besches too.
if you go back to Bucharest, ask about La Cocoșatu. They used to have the best mici. Of course I haven't been there in the last 3 years and things may have changed. But I remember La Cocoșatu used to be the talk of town.
Near the city of Hunedoara there s a shop "bulbucan" who makes and sells lots of meat foods,but their mici is famous in Romania.They taste pretty good ngl.
Haha! So glad you enjoyed those 'Little ones'. As it happens, my office is nearby Rapid, so therefore being Romanian and absolutely loving this dish, we imposed the 'Friday Mici day' rule for about 2 years now. We can not get enough of them! 😃 P.S. : You've got some fine content! 🤘
I am a subscriber of yours from Brasov 😊you can find the best "Mici" at "Ceasul Rau" Restaurant.OMG you made me want it tomorrow I'm going there to eat.
if you are still in Brasov, try centru civic and get some food from Pasaj subteran Rainbow. I recommend soup from La Polonic, pasta from A modo Mio and if you want some peruvian food, then Perumania. Make sure to get there around 11-13:00 as the food will run out after that time. Great video as always.
Mici is a very personal thing as you now understand lol. If you get a chance and go through a place called Dedulesti, sort of South East of Brasov and near Ramnicu Valcea...I think for me that was close to the best you can get or some of the best I have had. No matter where you go in the world you measure the quality and authenticity of a place by how many of its own countrymen go there. At Dedulesti you will see cars and trucks backed up down the road and its on a steep hill!!...People go there just to eat the mici. So if you get there will be curious to see what you think. Pofta buna!
You haven't tried the micii from La Gil in Bucharest - somewhere in Baneasa. They are double in length, exceptional, stand in line for them, you can order by phone, and people generally buy between 50 and 500+ pieces.
Hey there. If you wonder about the composition of mici, well the original recipes for them it's so hard to find nowadays, but they are made with pork, beef and lamb mince meat, equally parts and bones stock to hold the meat together. Also spices like salt, pepper, garlic are used
The most common mici are with beef and pork meat (togheter). But you can also make it with just pork meat or even mixed with sheep meat. There are even with chicken meat (but that is a weird combo haha.. kinda same for veggie mici). Beef + Pork meat is often a good combination. (sheep / goat meat ain't bad either tho).
Hey guys. You should try Paprikas, its like a potato soup but its freaking good. For desert I would recomand romanian home made chocolate and papanasi. Enjoy it!
If u are still in Brașov u should go and eat at Popas Brădet - La Ionescu it's in Sacele and the food is awesome, I recommend the ribs they are amazing
speedy recovery, Ivana, and stay well and healthy, Steve ! In Bucharest you should try Cocosatu' restaurant mici. Also, as you are becoming rapidly experts in mici you might want to do a comparison of other country;s mici, so you can go also to Taverna Sarbului restaurant and have their version of Serbian mici.
PS - and yes, as it was suggested for you by other commenter, also for the sake of improving expertise, you should try the mici made out of beef and sheep meat... even nicer than the one of pork mixed with beef
Gotta try those one of these days. It's like a 10 minute bus ride from where I live. welcome to the most beautiful city in Romania, where stunning mountain views bless your eyes everywhere you walk, alongside great historical architecture and a mixed cuisine of romanian, hugarian and german food to die for. Speaking of mountains, if it's nature you want, try the various mountain trails easily accessible nearby the city via bus. They're great for a leisurely, quiet walk. And speaking of public transport, the buses here are waaaay better and more efficient than in Bucharest.
Hi Steve 👋 awww...sad that Ivana is not well hope for her speedy recovery 🥰 mici is your favorite food in Romania so far and I’m sure its delicious , looks a bit like shish kebab anyway take care Steve have a good rest and hopefully you both will be better soon 👍🏻🥰
He is right about that test for the mici :) My method is similar but what I do is I pick them up (not with my hands) and see if they are bouncy. Had mici everyday last week that I made at home :D
I'm glad you enjoy the mici so much. The most I've eaten in one sitting, hmm, I think 4 or 5 but it really depends on the size. Some restaurants have small mici (no pun intended), some big ones. Enjoy your stay in Brașov. :)
You guys should def. check "Cutitu d'Argint" it's an incredibile food experience near Brasov, in Sinaia. You won't regret. I promisse. Cheers from Timisoara!
Sorry, but culinary/gastronomical experts tested some yrs ago all the places with mici and Bucharest/Obor Market mici won the gold medal and the 2nd place were those from Cocoșatul place(meaning Hunchback), but Im glad u enjoy them anywhere and btw, mici may be restaurant or even street food, but they are NOT junk food like KFC/McDonalds.BurgerKing...etc :D
Meh...not "proper" junk food!...but it s not healthy food! Very tasty, addictive, traditional, easy, yummy...but...gizas...you can't be "mici only"...even if this is the main feeling!😂😂😂
@@daniell6894 Since the meat is bought from the butchershop/slaughterhouses, I doubt its processed(like in burgers at kfc/mcD) and thus its not junk. Șaorma may be junk because I dont know how processed or not that huge amount of meat on the rotating stick is ;)
Between 20-25 that was my top mici at one serving. After that day couldn't do more then 8. Not sure what was in the air that day but I definitely ate a lot :)
In Brașov people eat pizza with garlic sauce...verry tasty. Try it at "Ma Pizza" or "Blue Viking" . And if you want the best burger in town...definitly at " Two guys"
When you taste the mici, you should taste them without mustard, so you can feel the real taste, the mustard can change the taste also, because mustard have many types
Get well, hope you'll both get healthy in no time. BTW in case your friends won't mention this, I would suggest visiting the Weaver's Bastion (Bastionul Tesatorilor) first of all in Brasov, so you can get an understanding about how the city used to look like as they got a miniature model of the old city, with walls, gates, towers and all. That will help you in the long run and I always suggest it to friends that visit the city. It only costs about 5-7 lei and worth it.
Steve I agree with you on both the mici and ciorba de burta :) glad you enjoy them. When back in TO check out European Sausage house on Norfinch - definitely the best mici in Toronto and all Canada :)
La Ciotoianu mici, just south of Bucharest. The place doesn't look like much, it's like a corner store on a country backroad, but it's getting quite the reputation. The mici are huge, I'd be surprised if you can down 3 of them and they are absolutely juicy and delicious. Before holidays they get queues that go on for a few blocks.
Hope you guys will stay healthy.maybe because of the weather.but one must be carefull,during this trying times,not to get infected with covid.stay safe guys yea.
Now we know what you meant when you said you "like mici with your mustard", Steve. That is now very clear. Although I feel doing it like that would not be considered elegant mici-eating by the natives!
Go to Giurgiu wich is like less than 1h from Bucharest, search for the market of town, and there you will find best mici u will ever eat, mark my words :)
How come no one is telling you what the secret of mici is? The juiciness comes from beef bone broth. The meat is treated like a dough, kneaded for like 15-20 minutes with bone broth. That's the secret.
@@JetLagWarriors you're very welcome. Also, the best mici in Romania are the ones from Dedulesti. That is the general opinion. You need to try the melons also. They're in season right now, very sweet and fragrant.
Try to find "pastramă de oaie la grătar" or "pastramă de oaie la ceaun" both with garlic sauce "mujdei" and pickles. Served with mămăligă. If you leave Romania before trying true pastramă, you miss the best local dish. Nothing compares to fried or grilled lamb/sheep pastramă.
You guys do a better presentation of Romania than most of the locals! Of course many Romanians will tell you that their mici are the best the same way the Italians will tell you about their pizza 🍕
The best mici in Romania are in Bucharest at the restaurant "La Cocosatu ". They are unbelievable tasty. It's a must for you. The local guides should have told you that. Even on Tripadvisor on mici this is the best place.
If you haven't tried yet, I really think you should try papanași. It's a desert that is similar with donuts, but it's has cottage chesse in it and for me it doesn't taste anything like donuts.It has sour cream and some jam on it as toppings. I always have it when I go in Romania to my family and it's delicious. Hope you try it and have fun in this beautiful country!❤
The best mici I had were in Bucharest, at Don Daniel Pizza, and the owner is an avid Rapid fan so I think you guys will get along. If you will come to Bucharest you should check them out. Cheers!
The best Mici are definitely in Piața Mare - Deva. They are called "Mici de Bulbucan" and they are huge, juicy and super tasty. Deva is also a nice place to visit. Greetings from Germany
@@outele thanks for the response. It says that Mititei is similar to cevapi but I can tell is even better because more tasty things are added to the mix.
@@heba30003 Cevapcici from Serbia and Bulgaria and Albania may look the same, but the texture and the taste differ a lot from the romanian ”mici/mititei” :)
I found a place in Valcea at the salt pool Olanesti, the mici there were insanely good I ate 10. I was in shock with myself for eating so many but I just couldnt stop eating.... u gotta go try those too. I hope they didnt change/ruin the recipe since I ate them 3 years ago.
Since you're in Brasov, you should try Beraria Pofta sau Foame (ex. Beraria Ciucas) for an interesting mici experience. Not the best ever but definitely an experience for a mici lover! Disclaimer: don't get more than 3 'cause they are huge!
There's quite an elaborate process to make good mici. First: there should be no pork. Only good quality finely ground beef and sheep meat. The mix of spices is of course important (you can find that info on the net). A pinch of sodium bicarbonate is essential to make them fluffy and also for taste. Once formed, they will have to rest for up to 24 hours to develop a crust that will help keep the juice in. And while grilling (on charcoal of course), you baste them with garlic sauce (I prefer to not put garlic in the mixture).
HELP‼️ I’m addicted to mici!😅

PS - and yes, as it was suggested for you by other commenter, also for the sake of improving expertise, you should try the mici made out of beef and sheep meat... even nicer than the one of pork mixed with beef
Gotta try those one of these days. It's like a 10 minute bus ride from where I live. welcome to the most beautiful city in Romania, where stunning mountain views bless your eyes everywhere you walk, alongside great historical architecture and a mixed cuisine of romanian, hugarian and german food to die for. Speaking of mountains, if it's nature you want, try the various mountain trails easily accessible nearby the city via bus. They're great for a leisurely, quiet walk. And speaking of public transport, the buses here are waaaay better and more efficient than in Bucharest.
What’s the most mici you have ever eaten in one seating?😆 How many??🤣
Haha, never ever more than 4, maybe 5, but Im pathetic, I know it. They r quite satiable and fulfilling :)
11-12 somewhere there, I usually order 5-6
7! :)
2 with roasted mushrooms and potatos baked in the fire. Reminds me of my childhood picnics with my family.
Hi Steve 👋 awww...sad that Ivana is not well hope for her speedy recovery 🥰 mici is your favorite food in Romania so far and I’m sure its delicious , looks a bit like shish kebab anyway take care Steve have a good rest and hopefully you both will be better soon 👍🏻🥰
He is right about that test for the mici :) My method is similar but what I do is I pick them up (not with my hands) and see if they are bouncy. Had mici everyday last week that I made at home :D
I'm glad you enjoy the mici so much. The most I've eaten in one sitting, hmm, I think 4 or 5 but it really depends on the size. Some restaurants have small mici (no pun intended), some big ones. Enjoy your stay in Brașov. :)
You guys should def. check "Cutitu d'Argint" it's an incredibile food experience near Brasov, in Sinaia. You won't regret. I promisse.
Cheers from Timisoara!
Sorry, but culinary/gastronomical experts tested some yrs ago all the places with mici and Bucharest/Obor Market mici won the gold medal and the 2nd place were those from Cocoșatul place(meaning Hunchback), but Im glad u enjoy them anywhere and btw, mici may be restaurant or even street food, but they are NOT junk food like KFC/McDonalds.BurgerKing...etc :D
Meh...not "proper" junk food!...but it s not healthy food!
Very tasty, addictive, traditional, easy, yummy...but...gizas...you can't be "mici only"...even if this is the main feeling!😂😂😂
@@daniell6894 Since the meat is bought from the butchershop/slaughterhouses, I doubt its processed(like in burgers at kfc/mcD) and thus its not junk. Șaorma may be junk because I dont know how processed or not that huge amount of meat on the rotating stick is ;)
The Mici Ambassador!!!
Between 20-25 that was my top mici at one serving. After that day couldn't do more then 8. Not sure what was in the air that day but I definitely ate a lot :)

In Brașov people eat pizza with garlic sauce...verry tasty. Try it at "Ma Pizza" or "Blue Viking" . And if you want the best burger in town...definitly at " Two guys"

When you taste the mici, you should taste them without mustard, so you can feel the real taste, the mustard can change the taste also, because mustard have many types
Get well, hope you'll both get healthy in no time. BTW in case your friends won't mention this, I would suggest visiting the Weaver's Bastion (Bastionul Tesatorilor) first of all in Brasov, so you can get an understanding about how the city used to look like as they got a miniature model of the old city, with walls, gates, towers and all. That will help you in the long run and I always suggest it to friends that visit the city. It only costs about 5-7 lei and worth it.
Steve I agree with you on both the mici and ciorba de burta :) glad you enjoy them. When back in TO check out European Sausage house on Norfinch - definitely the best mici in Toronto and all Canada :)
In Brasov go eat La Ceaun Restaurant, avoid popular hours because you'll have to wait in line, i ate the best ribs there.
La Ciotoianu mici, just south of Bucharest. The place doesn't look like much, it's like a corner store on a country backroad, but it's getting quite the reputation. The mici are huge, I'd be surprised if you can down 3 of them and they are absolutely juicy and delicious. Before holidays they get queues that go on for a few blocks.
Will you come to Hunedoara to visit Corvin's Castle? We have the best mici from Ardeal: "Mici Bulbucan"
Hope you guys will stay healthy.maybe because of the weather.but one must be carefull,during this trying times,not to get infected with covid.stay safe guys yea.
The best mici in Romania are at Nuica in Ramnicu Valcea, without a doubt. It's a must, you have to try those!
When you get back to Bucharest, try the mici at "Bodega La Mahala" in the city center.
Thanks for this wonderful video.
Hehehe, what's mici by d way?
@@Yasin_Affandi en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mititei
@@apalaghieilucian3052 Thank u. 😀
Now we know what you meant when you said you "like mici with your mustard", Steve. That is now very clear. Although I feel doing it like that would not be considered elegant mici-eating by the natives!
Go to Giurgiu wich is like less than 1h from Bucharest, search for the market of town, and there you will find best mici u will ever eat, mark my words :)
if you get cold just drink palinca
Thanks!
Thanks so much Ionut David!!
Hi, wanted to let u know that Rapid București is playing on Saturday, the supporters are waiting for you to come.Forza Rapid!
The best mici in Romania are the ones you grill yourself on Romanian Labor day, that's May 1st (the start of grill season).
How come no one is telling you what the secret of mici is? The juiciness comes from beef bone broth. The meat is treated like a dough, kneaded for like 15-20 minutes with bone broth. That's the secret.
Whoa!!! This is very helpful. Thanks for this :)
That is very true, also the seasoning is important too
do not forget the secret ingredient - sodium bicarbonate and garlic - the most important ones
@@JetLagWarriors you're very welcome. Also, the best mici in Romania are the ones from Dedulesti. That is the general opinion. You need to try the melons also. They're in season right now, very sweet and fragrant.
If you are still in Brasov, definitely go to centrul civic, tractorul sidewalks and on Tampa mountain!
Try to find "pastramă de oaie la grătar" or "pastramă de oaie la ceaun" both with garlic sauce "mujdei" and pickles. Served with mămăligă. If you leave Romania before trying true pastramă, you miss the best local dish. Nothing compares to fried or grilled lamb/sheep pastramă.
You guys do a better presentation of Romania than most of the locals!
Of course many Romanians will tell you that their mici are the best the same way the Italians will tell you about their pizza 🍕
I'm going to try making my own mici here in San Diego this weekend. I hope to have as much success that you had when you made it at home!
You can do it! 👍👍👍
The best mici in Romania are in Bucharest at the restaurant "La Cocosatu ". They are unbelievable tasty. It's a must for you. The local guides should have told you that. Even on Tripadvisor on mici this is the best place.
You must try mici în București at Obor market.
If you haven't tried yet, I really think you should try papanași. It's a desert that is similar with donuts, but it's has cottage chesse in it and for me it doesn't taste anything like donuts.It has sour cream and some jam on it as toppings. I always have it when I go in Romania to my family and it's delicious. Hope you try it and have fun in this beautiful country!❤
really suprised they didn t try this until now
The best mici I had were in Bucharest, at Don Daniel Pizza, and the owner is an avid Rapid fan so I think you guys will get along. If you will come to Bucharest you should check them out. Cheers!
Go to Sinaia! Is a very beautiful city! :D
Best to Ivana, it's 9:00 am in Calif. and salivating for some mici. Stop it!
Mici is life
The best Mici are definitely in Piața Mare - Deva. They are called "Mici de Bulbucan" and they are huge, juicy and super tasty.
Deva is also a nice place to visit.
Greetings from Germany
What is Mici? Looks like our Balkan cevapcici ( qofte ). I know I'm ignorant but let me know 👀. Greetings to our Romanian brothers from Albania
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mititei
@@outele thanks for the response. It says that Mititei is similar to cevapi but I can tell is even better because more tasty things are added to the mix.
the biggest difference between mici and cevapcic is using bicarbonate in the mix to make it more flufy
I had different types of cevapcici before but none of them tasted anything near mici. Our mici have a completely different type of seasoning.
@@heba30003 Cevapcici from Serbia and Bulgaria and Albania may look the same, but the texture and the taste differ a lot from the romanian ”mici/mititei” :)
I found a place in Valcea at the salt pool Olanesti, the mici there were insanely good I ate 10. I was in shock with myself for eating so many but I just couldnt stop eating.... u gotta go try those too. I hope they didnt change/ruin the recipe since I ate them 3 years ago.
Since you're in Brasov, you should try Beraria Pofta sau Foame (ex. Beraria Ciucas) for an interesting mici experience. Not the best ever but definitely an experience for a mici lover! Disclaimer: don't get more than 3 'cause they are huge!
Cant wait for you to explore Sibiu
The City has a football team named : AFC Hermanstadt
There's quite an elaborate process to make good mici. First: there should be no pork. Only good quality finely ground beef and sheep meat. The mix of spices is of course important (you can find that info on the net). A pinch of sodium bicarbonate is essential to make them fluffy and also for taste. Once formed, they will have to rest for up to 24 hours to develop a crust that will help keep the juice in. And while grilling (on charcoal of course), you baste them with garlic sauce (I prefer to not put garlic in the mixture).
