Modern cuisine. Holiday Closing Dates: 31 July 2017 – 14 August 2017.

Reviewed By permia - Ireland

We were never in any doubt regarding our menu choices – we both chose the superb tasting menu.
Set in an atmosphere of quiet and relaxing background décor, we looked forward with anticipation to the cuisine to come. And we weren't disappointed.
Spoonful servings in turn of each of the offerings of appetisers, mains and desserts were delicious. The spoons arranged in an artistic pattern by the waiter.
Interspersed were a couple of contributions courtesy of the house, including a celery based soup in a test-tube and another where the use of a freezing liquid was to great effect.
A novel accompaniment came with the desserts. A mortar containing herbs and spices had freezing liquid added to it by the Chef, who instructed us to immediately use the pestle to ground the solidified goodies. A scoop of ice cream was added and mixed with the flavourings, to give a most tasty fare.
On a return visit to Bucharest, here will be high on our menu of attractions.

Beca's Kitchen - Homemade Food

Inspired by freshness!

Reviewed By chmfromchas

Dining at Beca’s reminded me of eating at a good friend’s home, a friend who happily happens to be a great cook! In this case, the friend —Beca— is also the owner-chef of this small, cozy restaurant that plays relaxing/jazzy music...one where the main event is Beca’s food. While menu choices are clearly displayed on a chalkboard, Beca engages patrons in explaining the options. Then, she disappears into the kitchen to ensure the dishes presented are as visually appealing as they are exquisite to eat. Don’t miss a chance to unwind and enjoy this gem of a restaurant. And while you’re there, ask Beca how she got started...You’ll walk away enchanted and inspired. Kudos and continued success to this young woman who followed her dream! (Could Beca be Romania’s future “Barefoot Contessa” ???)

Camera din Fata

A small but special place, a go-back in time in Grandma's home, hundreds of teas, tens of coffees, home-made pies and cakes, old Romanian, but not only, music; the place for your own, families, lovers and friends; the place where you feel like home; the place that's waiting for you!

Reviewed By Andreea T

This place is charming, small and cosy, it smells of fresh roasted coffee. They have some tasty cakes too. It's perfect for a chat at a coffee or a tea. It's very hard to find a parking space here, maybe it's better to walk here.

La Nuci Restaurant & Ballroom

Reviewed By greg g

Heard from some friends about "La Nuci" and went there in late Sept with a group of 6. We were extremely impressed.
A great blend of traditional Romanian food and modern casual international fusion cuisine - awesome burgers, delicious pasta, just right calamari, big & delicious salads. Most portions are US Midwest size. Great ambience, very relaxing mood & music with a quick but very professional wait staff. Some of us had the mititei, smoked sausages platter and mamaliga which were perfect, beautifully done juicy burgers, calamari salad and a grilled whole branzini fish with grilled veggies - just delicious. We barely sampled the menu, which is an extensive around Europe experience - Italian, France, Greek, German and US/UK favorites perfectly done by professional chefs.
Barman outdid himself with the cocktails and sampled a good number of beers both local and imported. The mood of the place is awesome - they had several bands showcased - Spanish guitar "Alex Fox" type, easy Rock & Roll classics. What a relaxing and pleasant venue to just hang out and linger through a great evening with friends. Very clean and modern facilities - bathrooms were cleaner than at the Ritz Carlton. Definitely our top regular lunch/dining spots from now on!!!
Cheers,

La Pescaria Dorobantilor

Reviewed By Minder99 - Bucharest, Romania

I am not a "fish" person. Despite this, I started to go often to this small and very cozy restaurant (yes, it's very small & very cozy... sometimes people who don't know each other share nice words and find common friends, even if they are from different countries or continents! It happened to me! :)). Although its clientele is international, the fish is local and the recipes are traditional and simple (sometimes interpreted interestingly). So don't expect miracles, but just to enjoy a good and simple taste in your mouth. Coming back to fish, well, it's cooked by a wonderful cook, Mrs. Zina, who prepares it so that you want to lick your fingers (I do, sometimes). The prices are decent for the quality they offer (in the neighborhood there is another fish restaurant billing you 2-3 times more... it's true, the plate arrangements may be there more sophisticated, but I usually pay for taste, not for image - unless it's art...) You may find better prices in other locations, maybe, but you'll not find my review there...
As to the owners... Oana and Gabi are nice hosts, they smile or don't :), we're all people and can have bad days, right??, they always have a good treat for my (still) little boy, who is a very good friend with Zina. Relationships always matter... :)) It's a place I really enjoy on good and bad time, with or without rain, when I want to have a tasty lunch or dinner, in a nice environment... Enjoy!

YUKI

Reviewed By TheHappyholic - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Bucharest is not the best for Asian food, and it's really not a great place if you've got high standards for sushi. However, Yuki is a great place if you are craving Asian food, the one that's properly, traditionally cooked. They have a traditional Japanese menu that goes beyond sushi - a lot of barbecue, fish, noodles and soups which are fantastic. The staff is friendly and the decor takes you on a short journey to Tokio.
Yuki is one of my favourite restaurants in Bucharest, which I've visited many times and am always happy to go back.
Totally recommend!

Reviewed By Anfrist - Bucharest

The place is revolutionary and very well integrated int the design of the mall. Coffee is excellent, subtle and flavored - no need for sugar or sweetener. Prices and offers are a bit unclear at first, which gives you an awkward feeling. It seems they have special offers for other people working in the mall and take aways. 10 lei for a cappuccino and a pastry if you work in the mall and 15 lei for a cappuccino if you want to enjoy it inside. Music is a bit too loud and very commercial, but goes well with the mall atmosphere. You can also have breakfast or a proper meal and bottle of wine.
