Frequently asked questions
- Where are the best burgers in Cluj-Napoca right now?
- Meat Up leads the ranking: it is the venue whose dish reviewers write about most, with a 8.8/10 BearMenu grade. The ranking refreshes periodically as new reviews come in.
- How is the ranking computed?
- The order comes from the number of reviews praising this specific dish at each venue — the number shown under every entry — not from the overall grade, so an excellent restaurant that merely lists the dish does not outrank a specialist. Only venues with a displayed BearMenu grade (1–10, distilled from reviews) make the list, one per brand. Positions are not for sale and the ranking carries no ads.
- Where can I see full menus with prices?
- Every place in the list has its full menu on BearMenu — tap "See the full menu". Prices come from real menus, updated September 2026.
