A corner of Spain in the heart of Cluj
Paella made to order · 30–40 minutes · 750g portion for two people
Breakfast daily: 7:30 – 12:00
Picaro was born out of longing for Spain — for long family meals, for azulejos, for tapas shared with friends and for paella served hot from the pan.
Classic recipes, honoured just as they're made at home in Spain — no "twists", with Iberian ingredients and with time, the secret ingredient of every good meal.
MenuIt all starts with small things: olives, thinly sliced jamón, warm croquettes, a glass of homemade sangria. At Picaro, tapas aren't an appetizer — they're the way every good evening begins, without hurry.
The nicest compliment a Spanish restaurant can receive is to be recommended by Spaniards themselves. It has happened to us — and more than once.

Paella is cooked only to order, in 30–40 minutes — the perfect time for an aperitif and a few tapas.
Scroll slowly — an entire meal, seen from above, from the first aperitif to the last spoonful.

If you're craving a proper homemade paella but don't have "time" to pop over to Spain, this is the perfect place!

The jamón is excellent, the torreznos are absolutely spectacular, and the paella… even better than many I've eaten in Spain.
