What information is legally required on a restaurant menu in Romania?

Since 15 March 2023, any venue serving cooked food in Romania — restaurant, café, canteen, fast-food — has menu-display obligations broader than the 14 allergens: ANPC Order 201/2022 requires ingredients, nutritional values and additives per dish, whether the menu is printed or digital.

Short answer

The list of ingredients exceeding 20 g per serving, for each dish.
The nutritional declaration: energy value, fat, carbohydrates, protein per dish.
The food additives used (E-numbers), where applicable.
The 14 mandatory allergens, clearly highlighted — bold, colour or pictograms, not plain text.
Labelling of frozen or defrosted ingredients, where applicable.

The legal framework: ANPC Order 201/2022

Published in the Official Gazette on 21 September 2022, it became mandatory on 15 March 2023.
It applies to any unit that serves or sells cooked food — restaurant, café, canteen, fast-food, catering unit.
The requirements apply to BOTH the printed menu AND the digital one (QR code) — a digital menu doesn't exempt you from compliance.

Where and how the information must be displayed

Visibly, legibly and permanently, next to each dish — not hidden behind other text or photos.
Allergens, highlighted separately from the rest of the ingredient list (bold, colour or a pictogram).
On a digital menu, the information sits on the dish's own page, not in a separate PDF that's hard to find.

What you risk if you don't comply

Fines for not complying with Order 201/2022 range from 2,000 to 10,000 lei, and in serious or repeated cases ANPC can order a temporary suspension of activity.

You update a recipe once — the information appears everywhere that dish is listed, with nothing to reprint.
