I fly to cook. Cluj makes that easy.

Cluj-Napoca has direct flights to more than forty cities. For a dinner worth the trip, I take one. No connections, no lost day — I land in the afternoon and cook that evening.

These are the cities I travel to most. If yours is not here but Cluj flies there, ask anyway.

United Kingdom

  • London

    Direct from Cluj to London Luton and London Stansted

    The largest private-chef market in Europe, and the one where people are most used to the idea of a cook coming to the flat rather than a table being booked.

Romania

  • Bucharest

    Direct from Cluj to Bucharest Henri Coandă

    An hour from home, and the city where most of the private dinners in Romania actually happen.

France

  • Paris

    Direct from Cluj to Paris Beauvais

    France has the deepest chef-à-domicile culture in Europe, and the hardest audience to impress with technique alone.

Spain

  • Madrid

    Direct from Cluj to Madrid Barajas

    Spanish tables run late and long, which suits the way I like to cook — courses that arrive when they are ready, not on a schedule.

  • Barcelona

    Direct from Cluj to Barcelona El Prat

    Apartments with terraces, long tables, and a market culture that makes shopping for a menu genuinely worth doing on the day.

Italy

  • Milan

    Direct from Cluj to Milan Malpensa and Bergamo

    The Italian city where a chef is judged fastest, and where regional cooking is taken seriously enough to argue about.

  • Rome

    Direct from Cluj to Rome Fiumicino and Ciampino

    A city with its own strong culinary grammar, where a menu has to earn its place rather than arrive as a novelty.

Germany

  • Berlin

    Direct from Cluj to Berlin Brandenburg

    Large flats, people who cook seriously themselves, and dinners that are as often about the conversation as the food.

  • Munich

    Direct from Cluj to Munich, with Memmingen and Nuremberg nearby

    The German city closest to Italy in the way it eats, and the one where a proper Italian dinner needs the least translation.

Somewhere else in Europe?

Cluj also flies direct to Bologna, Naples, Bari, Catania, Brussels, Dublin, Copenhagen, Oslo, Lisbon, Malta, Basel, Frankfurt, Alicante, Málaga and Palma de Mallorca. For a villa week or a dinner that justifies the flight, tell me the dates.
