We had lunch for four. Ordered two burgers from their specials and two Veggie Burgers based on Dionisieâs advice. The burgers were delicious and the service we received from Dionisie was amazing. He really helped when we asked to change something in one of the mains we received.The atmosphere of this place is wonderful. Prices are on the Mid-high range compared to other restaurant but still affordable for us as tourists. Great place to visit and has a lot more to see right outside the restaurant. Hello Jonniss, Thank you for your visit at the Hard Rock Cafe Bucharest, and for your fantastic review. It is great that you have taken the time to share your experience and have been kind enough to let others know about the great atmosphere in our cafes, and the friendly staff.

Stadio has a simple menu, with an Italian style, but inspired from the Romanian kitchen traditions. The design sends you back to Londonâs 1960s restaurants, with interior details extracted from an industrial kitchen. The setup is almost theatrical in term

You will always find reinvented Romanian dishes and innovation here.Also you can still watch sport events and eat very good.The prices are suited for a city center but the quality is excellent.Marina was our waitress and she was great. She even surprised us with a cake for my birthday.Excellent choice!Dear Vlad,Thank you for your appreciation!

Is a great place to enjoy a good evening with friends/family. The selection of wines is amazing-all romanian wines! The sharing plates and the oven baked pitas are awesome The staff is very friendly and helpful. Prepare to be amazed from the door to the point u leave. Be careful Paine si Vin makes no reservations and you may have to wait a bit to get a table.
7. Bazaar

Walking in the pedestrian area of old Bucharest, every restaurant is probably a tourist trap. For some reason I choose this Bazaar, and, as it was a lovely end-of -summer day, I sat outdoors in the street. I did not expect much, apart from quenching my hunger and thirst. I was, however, pleasantly surprised. I had a good and kind service, in perfect English, a very decent bill, and a surprisingly good meal. I choose "baby calamari a la Lisbon". The description was "baby calamari with sichuan pepper, bay leaf, peperoncino, extra vergin olive oil, French fries, a secret from Heston Blumenthal". Whether he was the creator or not, I will never know: but it was fantastic.

Tried to book by email whilst in uk, to celebrate my birthday. Email response provided a link to a booking system. Managed to negotiate the system, which was in Romanian only. Ultimately system needed a code which would be text to my mobile. No code was text and no reservation could be made. On arrival in Bucharest, asked our concierge to make the booking. Telephone booking failed, as restaurant closed. Reception tried to book via same reservation system, again code verification required and again no code sent. Eventually, our concierge managed to book, whilst we out for the day, but we were unable to secure a table at the window.On arrival we were asked for passport ID, which we had not brought with us. There was no advance notification that ID was required. Eventually we were admitted without it.Our table was set for three people, the third setting was not removed all night - which we thought strange but maybe a Romanian tradition????Our server delivered menus but did not introduce himself and had no name badge.He returned very quickly to take out order and we were not ready. We decided to start with Birthday gins. The gin menu has maybe 5 gins, 5 tonics and 5 gin cocktails using the aforementioned gins and tonics. When trying to request our favoured gin and favoured tonic, our server was adamant we should have the cocktail, which I hadnât really wanted as would have preferred a different tonic. Settled for the cocktail as couldnât be bothered arguing (which come with lemon and lime garnish) but requested the lemon be removed. On arrival, there was no garnish and he was requested to appropriate the lime twist that was missing.After waiting quite a long period of time our server returned to take our order - one fish soup and one olives. He wasnât happy with the olives order, trying to push for an additional starter. The starters were lovely, but the plates removed too quickly, and whilst still eating final olive - so no receptacle to dispose of final olive pip.We ordered the chateaubriand, main, medium rare. Sides of sweet peppers & halloumi salad and asparagus.We asked our server to recommend a local Merlot or Shiraz - this was what riled us most - he recommended some completely different wines, whilst he covered the price with his finger. We chose a merlot ourselves and realised then wines he recommended were significantly more expensive than the others.After a long wait our steak arrived. Now being very picky - the crockery was all cold. The beef had gone cold as it rested. The asparagus side was cold. The salad was obviously cold but I was surprised the halloumi wasnât cooked. The steak was on the rarer did of medium rare, and was very rare in middle section. We had half eaten the steak before the waiter checked back. We told him every thing was cold and the steak under done. He offered to take the steak back to kitchen - but it was too late.A short time later a female waiter, who appeared more senior checked back on us and apologised. She asked if we could eat any more and we said no.Strangely the waiter then came with dessert menus, which we ignored. The lady water quickly removed these from the table and returned with the restaurantâs signature âcloudâ dessert, a trio of chocolate desserts topped with candy floss.Despite not wanting dessert, we ate it and it was delicious. A poor experience was partially saved and we were grateful. In summary:- they need to change their booking system. - the waiter covering the prices on the wine list was rude. - no excuse for cold food and plates in a restaurant of this calibre. - thankyou to the lady waiter that saved the birthday
