Kasho Mosaico Urbano – gust, cocktailuri si cea mai frumoasa terasa din Brasov

Exista locuri in care mergi pentru mancare. Locuri in care mergi pentru priveliste. Locuri in care mergi pentru un cocktail bun sau pentru atmosfera. Si mai sunt acele locuri in care toate se intalnesc si iti dau senzatia ca ai nimerit exact unde trebuie. Pentru noi, Kashoeste unul dintre aceste locuri: Kasho Mosaico Urbano – gust, cocktailuri si cea mai frumoasa terasa din Brasov.

🇬🇧 Jump to English version

Am ajuns aici de mai multe ori peste vara si, de fiecare data, terasa ne-a facut sa mai zabovim putin. De fapt, daca ar fi sa alegem un singur lucru care ne-a ramas cel mai tare in minte, acesta ar fi terasa: generoasa, verde, spectaculoasa si cu acel aer de vacanta pe care nu te astepti sa-l gasesti in centrul Brasovului. Si da, o spunem fara prea multe ocolisuri: Kasho are, dupa noi, cea mai spectaculoasa terasa din Brasov!

Kasho Mosaico Urbano se afla pe Sirul Livezii, in apropiere de Livada Postei, la inceputul drumului spre Poiana Brasov si foarte aproape de Centrul Istoric. Conceptul pune impreuna restaurantul, lounge-ul, cocktailurile, evenimentele si un spatiu verde urban foarte generos.

Terasa care te face sa mai comanzi un cocktail. Sa fim sinceri: sunt terase frumoase si sunt terase la care iti vine sa faci fotografii din toate unghiurile. Kasho este din a doua categorie.

Verdele din jur, mobilierul, plantele, corpurile de iluminat, detaliile decorative si felul in care este gandit intregul spatiu creeaza un decor care se simte mai degraba ca o mica escapada urbana decat ca o simpla iesire la restaurant.

Si mai este ceva: designul nu sta pe loc. Kasho isi schimba straiele odata cu anotimpurile, asa ca locul nu pare niciodata complet acelasi. Vara are acel aer exuberant, verde si relaxat pe care il cautam intr-o seara calduroasa, in timp ce decorul este adaptat pe parcursul anului pentru a pastra atmosfera speciala. Este genul de loc in care si decorul face parte din experienta, nu doar fundalul ei.

Iar daca va place sa surprindeti locurile frumoase in fotografii, aici aveti material serios de lucru. 🙂

Ce am mancat la Kasho? Am incercat mai multe preparate de-a lungul vizitelor noastre si am ajuns la concluzia ca meniul merita explorat fara graba. Nu doar pentru ca este variat, ci pentru ca multe dintre preparate au acel ceva care te face sa mai iei o imbucatura, chiar daca ti-ai spus ca esti deja satul.

Slow-Cooked Beef Croquettes with Truffle Cream. Incepem cu unele dintre preferatele noastre: crochetele de vita slow cooked cu crema de trufe. Carnea de vita gatita lent este transformata in crochete crocante la exterior si fragede, gustoase si suculente la interior, iar crema de trufe vine cu aroma aceea intensa, pamantie si usor sofisticata care transforma imediat o simpla gustare intr-un aperitiv foarte tentant. Pe deasupra, putin chilli murat aduce exact contrastul de care preparatul are nevoie: o nota usor acida si picanta, care taie din bogatia carnii si a cremei de trufe. Crocant, cremos, intens si cu un mic kick picant. Cam greu sa te opresti la una.

Slow-Cooked Beef Sandwich with Spicy Mayonnaise. Daca va plac sandvisurile serioase, acesta merita trecut pe lista. Slow-Cooked Beef Sandwich with Spicy Mayonnaise vine cu carne de vita slow cooked, guanciale, maioneza si sos sriracha, intr-o combinatie care merge direct in zona aceea de comfort food cu personalitate. Carnea frageda, guanciale-ul cu nota lui savuroasa si maioneza picanta creeaza un amestec bogat, dar echilibrat de prospetimea salatei iceberg. Este genul de sandvis pe care il comanzi „doar sa gusti” si ajungi sa te intrebi de ce nu ai comandat unul numai pentru tine. Noroc ca Cheful s-a gandit sa il imparta in patru bucati…

Guacamole with Schiacciata. Un aperitiv ceva mai fresh, dar deloc lipsit de personalitate: Guacamole with Schiacciata. Avocado cremos, rosii, lamaie, ceapa rosie, usturoi, ardei iute si coriandru, alaturi de schiacciata crocanta si aromata. Lamaia ii da prospetime, ardeiul iute aduce putina energie, iar schiacciata este partenerul perfect pentru toate aceste texturi. Un preparat simplu in aparenta, dar foarte bine construit. Si, mai ales, unul pe care il vezi perfect intr-o dupa-amiaza de vara, cu un cocktail rece alaturi.

Butter Roast Shrimps. Pentru iubitorii de fructe de mare, crevetii in sos de unt si schiacciata sunt o alegere pe care am savurat-o pana la ultima bucatica. Crevetii sunt acompaniati de un sos de unt bogat si parfumat, cu stock de creveti si patrunjel, iar schiacciata este acolo pentru partea crocanta si pentru a nu lasa nici macar o picatura de sos in farfurie. Pe scurt: creveti fragezi, sos de unt, paine buna si mult chef de inmuiat schiacciata in sos.

Un alt aperitiv care ne-a placut: Calamari Fritti. Calamarii sunt trecuti prin faina si prajiti apoi acompaniati de o componenta cremoasa, ulei de masline, lamaie, usturoi, patrunjel, ardei iute si busuioc. Rezultatul este exact ce astepti de la niste calamari bine facuti: exterior placut crocant, interior fraged, iar lamaia si ierburile aduc prospetime. Ardeiul iute completeaza foarte frumos povestea. Un preparat care merge de minune cu un cocktail rece si o seara lunga pe terasa.

Felurile principale: de la paste la carne.

Beef with Bacon Jam and Fries with Aioli Sauce. Daca sunteti in cautarea unui preparat mai consistent, Beef with bacon jam and fries with aioli sauce este genul de farfurie care nu vine sa faca figura de decor. Vita este vedeta, bacon jam-ul aduce o nota dulce-sarata, intensa si usor afumata, iar cartofii cu aioli completeaza totul cu acea combinatie irezistibila de crocant si cremos. Este un preparat pentru pofta serioasa, fara discutie.

Lamb Striploin. Este alegerea pentru cei care iubesc carnea de miel si prefera un preparat cu un aer mai elegant. O bucata frumoasa de carne, gatita astfel incat sa-si pastreze fragezimea si gustul specific, intr-un preparat care nu are nevoie de prea multe artificii pentru a convinge. Este genul de farfurie pe care o savurezi mai lent, intre o conversatie si un pahar cu vin.

Iar daca tot suntem la munte, dar gandul ne zboara putin spre mare, Spaghetti Frutti di Mare fac exact asta. Spaghetti, creveti, midii, calamari si caracatita, rosii cherry, usturoi, ulei de masline, unt, vin alb si patrunjel – practic, o vacanta mediteraneana servita intr-o farfurie. Fructele de mare aduc savoare, rosiile cherry vin cu prospetime, iar sosul leaga totul intr-un preparat aromat, suculent si foarte usor de iubit. Este una dintre acele paste pe care le comanzi si incepi imediat sa te gandesti ca poate trebuia sa alegi portia mai mare.

Si trebuie sa vorbim despre pizza. Pizza Napoletana de la Kasho este absolut senzationala!

Aici chiar nu mai avem nevoie de metafore sofisticate. Aluatul, textura, aromele si felul in care este gandita pizza ne-au convins. Daca ajungeti la Kasho si sunteti genul care „nu prea mananca pizza la restaurant”, faceti-ne pe plac: comandati una. S-ar putea sa va schimbati parerea.

Desert? Da, obligatoriu. Dupa atatea preparate, in mod normal ar trebui sa spunem ca nu mai este loc de desert. Dar nu.

Crème Brûlée este unul dintre deserturile pe care le-am vedea perfect la finalul unei seri la Kasho. Cremoasa, fina, parfumata cu vanilie bourbon si acoperita de acea crusta de zahar caramelizat care se sparge placut sub lingurita. Contrastul dintre crusta crocanta si crema rece si catifelata este exact motivul pentru care crème brûlée ramane unul dintre deserturile acelea imposibil de refuzat. Si nu suntem singurii care o laudam: exista si recenzii ale unor clienti care o numesc printre cele mai bune crème brûlée pe care le-au incercat.

Parfait cu fructe de padure. Pentru ceva mai fresh, ne-a facut cu ochiul parfait-ul cu fructe de padure. Mascarpone, fructe de padure, iaurt grecesc si miere, cu biscuiti digestivi si cateva accente care il duc intr-o zona foarte placuta de desert cremos, fructat si usor acrisor. Fructele de padure aduc exact doza de prospetime necesara, in timp ce mascarpone si iaurtul creeaza textura aceea catifelata pe care o vrei intr-un parfait. Este desertul care pare mai „cuminte” decat cele cu ciocolata, dar pe care ajungi sa-l termini fara sa-ti dai seama.

Cocktailuri senzationale, cu sau fara alcool. Kasho nu este doar despre mancare. Cocktailurile sunt un capitol in sine. Am descoperit aici combinatii foarte bine facute, iar unul dintre lucrurile care ne place in mod special este ca multe dintre cocktailuri pot fi savurate si in varianta fara alcool. Asa ca, indiferent daca vreti un cocktail clasic, unul mai spectaculos sau preferati sa ramaneti pe zero alcool, exista sanse mari sa gasiti ceva care sa va faca pofta de inca unul. De altfel, cocktailurile sunt printre lucrurile mentionate frecvent in feedback-ul despre Kasho, iar locul este cunoscut pentru partea sa de bar si lounge.

Muzica schimba complet atmosfera. Si daca ati crezut ca terasa, mancarea si cocktailurile sunt suficiente, mai adaugam un ingredient: muzica. Seara, Kasho prinde si mai multa viata, iar DJ-ul contribuie la atmosfera. Nu este genul de muzica pusa doar ca sa nu fie liniste, ci unul dintre elementele care transforma cina intr-o iesire de seara. Kasho este, pana la urma, un loc in care poti veni pentru cina, dar in care foarte usor ajungi sa ramai pentru cocktailuri si muzica.

Verdictul nostru: Kasho este o experienta, nu doar un restaurant. Ce ne place la Kasho Mosaico Urbano este ca nu simti ca trebuie sa alegi intre mancare buna, design, cocktailuri si atmosfera. Le primesti pe toate. Este in centrul Brasovului, dar odata asezat pe terasa ai senzatia ca te-ai desprins putin de agitatia orasului. Verdeata, decorul, mesele, luminile, muzica, cocktailurile si farfuriile colorate construiesc impreuna o experienta care functioneaza cel mai bine daca nu te grabesti. Iar terasa este, fara indoiala, vedeta. Pentru noi, este cea mai spectaculoasa terasa din Brasov.

Un loc in care ne-am intors de mai multe ori peste vara si pe care il recomandam pentru o seara in doi, o iesire cu prietenii, o cina lunga sau pur si simplu pentru acel „hai sa bem un cocktail undeva frumos” care, la Kasho, se transforma foarte usor in cateva ore petrecute bine.Pentru ca, pana la urma, Inspiratie la fix inseamna si sa stii unde sa mergi atunci cand vrei sa te bucuri de Brasov altfel. Iar Kasho Mosaico Urbano este, cu siguranta, unul dintre locurile pe care merita sa le ai pe lista.

Kasho Mosaico Urbano — Taste, Cocktails and the Most Beautiful Terrace in Brasov

There are places you go to for the food. Places you go to for the view. Places you go to for a good cocktail or for the atmosphere. And then there are those places where everything comes together and gives you the feeling that you have ended up exactly where you needed to be. For us, Kasho is one of those places — Kasho Mosaico Urbano: taste, cocktails and the most beautiful terrace in Brasov.

We have been here several times over the summer and every time the terrace has made us linger a little longer. In fact, if we had to choose the one thing that has stayed with us most, it would be the terrace — generous, green, spectacular and with that holiday feel you do not expect to find in the centre of Brasov. And yes, we will say it plainly: Kasho has, in our opinion, the most spectacular terrace in Brasov!

Kasho Mosaico Urbano is located on Sirul Livezii, near Livada Postei, at the start of the road toward Poiana Brasov and very close to the Historic Centre. The concept brings together the restaurant, the lounge, cocktails, events and a very generous urban green space.

The terrace that makes you order one more cocktail. Let us be honest — there are beautiful terraces and there are terraces that make you want to photograph them from every angle. Kasho falls firmly into the second category.

The surrounding greenery, the furniture, the plants, the light fixtures, the decorative details and the way the entire space is conceived create a setting that feels more like a small urban escape than a simple restaurant outing. And there is something else — the design does not stand still. Kasho changes its look with the seasons, so the place never feels completely the same. Summer brings that exuberant, green and relaxed feel we look for on a warm evening, while the décor is adapted throughout the year to maintain the special atmosphere. It is the kind of place where the décor is part of the experience, not just the backdrop. And if you enjoy capturing beautiful places in photographs, you will have serious material to work with here.

What did we eat at Kasho? We tried several dishes across our visits and reached the conclusion that the menu deserves to be explored without rushing. Not just because it is varied, but because many of the dishes have that something that makes you take one more bite even when you have already told yourself you are full.

Slow-Cooked Beef Croquettes with Truffle Cream. We start with one of our favourites — the slow-cooked beef croquettes with truffle cream. The slowly cooked beef is transformed into croquettes that are crispy on the outside and tender, flavourful and juicy on the inside, while the truffle cream brings that intense, earthy and slightly sophisticated aroma that instantly elevates a simple snack into a very tempting appetiser. On top of that, a little pickled chilli brings exactly the contrast the dish needs — a slightly acidic and spicy note that cuts through the richness of the meat and the truffle cream. Crispy, creamy, intense and with a small spicy kick. Quite hard to stop at one.

Slow-Cooked Beef Sandwich with Spicy Mayonnaise. If you like serious sandwiches, this one deserves a place on the list. The Slow-Cooked Beef Sandwich with Spicy Mayonnaise comes with slow-cooked beef, guanciale, mayonnaise and sriracha sauce, in a combination that goes straight into the territory of comfort food with personality. The tender meat, the guanciale with its savoury note and the spicy mayonnaise create a rich mix balanced by the freshness of the iceberg lettuce. It is the kind of sandwich you order „just to taste” and end up wondering why you did not order one all for yourself. Lucky the Chef thought to cut it into four pieces.

Guacamole with Schiacciata. A somewhat fresher appetiser, but by no means lacking personality — Guacamole with Schiacciata. Creamy avocado, tomatoes, lemon, red onion, garlic, chilli and coriander, alongside crispy and fragrant schiacciata. The lemon gives it freshness, the chilli brings a little energy, and the schiacciata is the perfect partner for all these textures. A dish that appears simple but is very well constructed. And above all, one you can picture perfectly on a summer afternoon with a cold cocktail alongside.

Butter Roast Shrimps. For seafood lovers, the shrimps in butter sauce with schiacciata are a choice we savoured down to the very last bite. The shrimps are accompanied by a rich and fragrant butter sauce with shrimp stock and parsley, while the schiacciata is there for the crispy element and to make sure not a single drop of sauce is left on the plate. In short — tender shrimps, butter sauce, good bread and plenty of enthusiasm for dipping the schiacciata in the sauce.

Another starter we enjoyed — Calamari Fritti. The calamari are coated in flour and fried, then accompanied by a creamy component, olive oil, lemon, garlic, parsley, chilli and basil. The result is exactly what you expect from well-made calamari — a pleasantly crispy exterior, a tender interior, with the lemon and herbs bringing freshness. The chilli rounds off the story very nicely. A dish that pairs perfectly with a cold cocktail and a long evening on the terrace.

Main courses — from pasta to meat.

Beef with Bacon Jam and Fries with Aioli Sauce. If you are looking for something more substantial, Beef with bacon jam and fries with aioli sauce is the kind of plate that is not here to make a decorative impression. The beef is the star, the bacon jam brings a sweet-salty, intense and slightly smoky note, while the fries with aioli complete everything with that irresistible combination of crispy and creamy. A dish for a serious appetite, without question.

Lamb Striploin. This is the choice for those who love lamb and prefer a dish with a more elegant feel. A beautiful cut of meat, cooked to preserve its tenderness and distinctive flavour, in a dish that needs no elaborate tricks to convince. It is the kind of plate you savour more slowly, between a conversation and a glass of wine.

And since we are in the mountains but our thoughts drift a little toward the sea, Spaghetti Frutti di Mare do exactly that. Spaghetti, shrimps, mussels, calamari and octopus, cherry tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, butter, white wine and parsley — practically a Mediterranean holiday served on a plate. The seafood brings depth, the cherry tomatoes add freshness, and the sauce ties everything together into an aromatic, succulent and very easy to love dish. It is one of those pastas you order and immediately start thinking that perhaps you should have chosen the larger portion.

And we must talk about the pizza. The Neapolitan pizza at Kasho is absolutely sensational! Here we really have no need for elaborate metaphors. The dough, the texture, the flavours and the way the pizza is conceived convinced us entirely. If you arrive at Kasho and you are the kind of person who „does not really eat pizza at restaurants” — do us a favour and order one. You might just change your mind.

Dessert? Yes, mandatory. After so many dishes, we would normally say there is no room for dessert. But no.

Crème Brûlée is one of the desserts we would see as a perfect ending to an evening at Kasho. Creamy, fine, fragrant with bourbon vanilla and covered by that caramelised sugar crust that cracks pleasantly under the spoon. The contrast between the crispy crust and the cold, velvety cream is exactly why crème brûlée remains one of those desserts that is impossible to refuse. And we are not the only ones praising it — there are reviews from customers who name it among the best crème brûlée they have ever tried.

Berry Parfait. For something fresher, the berry parfait caught our eye. Mascarpone, berries, Greek yogurt and honey, with digestive biscuits and a few accents that take it into a very pleasant zone of creamy, fruity and slightly tangy dessert. The berries bring exactly the right dose of freshness, while the mascarpone and yogurt create that velvety texture you want in a parfait. It is the dessert that seems more „restrained” than the chocolate ones, but one you end up finishing without even realising it.

Sensational cocktails, with or without alcohol. Kasho is not just about the food. The cocktails are a chapter in themselves. We discovered some very well-crafted combinations here, and one of the things we particularly like is that many of the cocktails can also be enjoyed in a non-alcoholic version. So whether you want a classic cocktail, a more spectacular one or prefer to stay alcohol-free, there is a good chance you will find something that makes you want another one. Cocktails are indeed among the things most frequently mentioned in feedback about Kasho, and the venue is well known for its bar and lounge.

Music completely changes the atmosphere. And if you thought the terrace, the food and the cocktails were enough, add one more ingredient: music. In the evening Kasho comes even more alive, and the DJ contributes to the atmosphere. It is not the kind of music played just to fill the silence — it is one of the elements that transforms dinner into a night out. Kasho is, after all, a place where you can come for dinner but where you very easily end up staying for cocktails and music.

Our verdict: Kasho is an experience, not just a restaurant. What we love about Kasho Mosaico Urbano is that you do not feel you have to choose between good food, design, cocktails and atmosphere. You get all of them. It is in the centre of Brasov, but once seated on the terrace you have the feeling of having stepped slightly away from the bustle of the city. The greenery, the décor, the tables, the lights, the music, the cocktails and the colourful plates together build an experience that works best when you are not in a hurry. And the terrace is, without question, the star. For us, it is the most spectacular terrace in Brasov.

A place we have returned to several times over the summer and one we recommend for an evening for two, a night out with friends, a long dinner or simply for that „let’s go for a cocktail somewhere beautiful” that at Kasho very easily turns into a few hours well spent. Because, when all is said and done, Inspiratie la fix also means knowing where to go when you want to enjoy Brasov differently. And Kasho Mosaico Urbano is, without doubt, one of the places worth having on your list.
