HOW DID OUR STORY BEGIN?
A holiday corner in the heart of Cluj
We created Madrugada for breakfast and brunch lovers, and for anyone looking for a place to escape the bustle of the city, even for a few hours. We want to be the place where mornings become special, where freshly brewed coffee and a colourful plate give you the energy you need for the whole day.
We started with a simple but powerful idea: to turn breakfast in Cluj-Napoca into a memorable experience. Although the city has plenty of lovely places for lunch or dinner, we knew breakfast and brunch needed something completely different. That is how Madrugada was born – from the wish to breathe new life into classic dishes and to create a place where every detail matters.
We designed every detail of the space to create a holiday atmosphere right in the heart of Cluj. From the sun hats on the walls to the straw chandeliers and natural colours, Madrugada is an oasis of relaxation – a place where every corner offers something to admire, whether you are taking a weekday break or enjoying a lazy weekend morning.
Whether you come to discover a new dish, to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere or to start your day with a "wow" breakfast, Madrugada welcomes you with open arms.

Very, very tasty. Lots of options. Perhaps I missed some of the more "basic" and heartier choices. But still quite good. A quality and delicious vegetarian/vegan option. Highly recommended. Reasonably priced.
