Prund is the gravel on a riverbed: what stays after the water has passed. That is how we want to cook: simply, with what is around us, unhurried.

How it began

An oven that never went out

Andrei cooked for ten years in Vienna and Copenhagen and came back to Sibiu in 2015 with a simple idea: a place where the menu is written after the market, not before. Ileana, who grew up on Turnului Street, knew the empty bakery at number 9 and its brick oven.

We opened in May 2016 with twenty seats and an eight-dish menu. The oven still bakes the house bread every morning from six.
