Overall good food, but high prices. We really enjoyed the fish appetizers (fish pate and sea bass tartare), while the tripe soup wasn't that great. The service was just ok. I would have expected more choices when it comes to wine by the glass (just one option available). Very nice, green terrace. Welcoming interior design, as well

Overpriced and doesn’t stand up to the expectations. The steak was medium only in certam spots, most of it was well done even though i asked for medium rare. The mushroom sauce tasted only like garlic, basic salad. It’s alright overall, but the food is basic at most.

Expensive, but worth it. They change the menu once a season. They have 2 short menus and 1 long tasting menu. The short menus cost 550 RON each and the long one 650 RON. So, for a dinner in two + some cocktails and the included tip, it will cost you about 1400 RON in total. You can make an online reservation and you'll get a reply on your mail with the menus. They accept only card payment. All the details will be on the mail, except the bar menu (cocktail, beer, wine, etc.). I spent there around 3 hours with my boyfriend. The courses/dishes were small, but tasty and presented to us in a tasteful manner. In some photos I've already seen from previous reviews, the menu items seem bigger. They are actually small like the palm of your hand, but very nourishing. I felt already full after the appetizers. The music was smooth jazz (coming from amazing state of the art speakers), the lightning seemed perfect for a time in two. What I enjoyed the most was the tour of the restaurant and its history, at the end of our dinner. The initial house was projected by the same architect of the Arch of Triumph (our Romanian version). It belonged to a boyar and after remained in ruins. It was rehabilitated by the original plan. The walls in the room we had reservation was made of black ceramic tiles - very rare. The floor was made of river stones, the paintings belong to a Romanian artist and everything from the menu is with organic Romanian ingredients. Even the liquid soap from the bathrooms (which smells addictive) is made by a Romanian company. For tourists I think the local wines and their stories would be a delight, too. I also asked about the name of the restaurant. It's called Kane after a Hawaiian god. It was a special dinner and evening for us and we fully enjoyed.

We had dinner on the terrace. Nice atmosphere, located away from the noise of the city, calm and french music playing softly. Interesting dishes, not your usual, more like fine dining, I really enjoyed the fish and the brownie cheesecake, that was delicious. The old house looks amazing in the inside, just went to see it since it's summer and you definitely prefer to sit outside but I would come back to sit inside once.

The restaurant is situated on the first floor. First, the receptionist led me to my table. Then, the waitress asked me if I wanted anything to drink and showed me various steaks to allow me to choose one. I chose prime ribeye and it was delicious. Also, it was interesting to choose a steak knife on my own! I hope to taste tomahawk steak next time!

Probably one of my favorite restaurants. Their food is delicious, I was impressed by their Chicken Supreme with sweet potatoes puree. Also, their cheesecake is one of the best I’ve ever eaten. The restaurant looks very good as well, it is classy and nicely decorated. It’s located in a good area close to the city center. After discovering this place, I went there the next day as well. Will come back to try the other options from the menu. The cocktails were good too and the service was fast.

Very disappointed by the restaurant, the rating is inflated, here's why: I ordered Uruguay Beef entrecôte with Medium Rare meat (raw inside), but they brought me Well Done (it is elastic and without raw and even without meat juice) - the rating of the dish is 0 out of 10. To continue, the side dish was Mashed Potatoes with Truffle, the taste of the potatoes was the same as the potatoes that were warmed up (heated not the first time, it was felt in the taste), rating 0 out of 10, it was disgusting. Then there was the Italian Aperitif (starter), how did the beetroot end up in the “Italian aperitif” dish? What is there besides Italian mozzarella? Tomato? avocado? nothing, the rating of the dish is 0 out of 10. The chicken breast was elastic dense (having no juiciness), it looked like a frozen one that was thawed, it tasted 2 out of 10. The cocktail was rated 7 out of 10, that is, normal. The waiters served politely, but not everyone knew English. Good view of the city. I do not recommend eating here. I recommend to come to drink 1 cocktail or a cup of coffee. Thank you for reading to the end!

A traditional Romanian restaurant in Bucharest. The service was awesome! Our waiter and his colleagues were extremely attentive, helpful and kind. The salads, meats and veggies were fresh and prepared perfectly. The restaurant is clean and the flowers everywhere create a great setting. Great place to bring guests that come to visit Romania!!! The papnasi is just delicious! Thanks for a wonderful evening!

It's spacious, nicely decorated, live music, it's traditional Romanian and not only. We even joined a traditional dance. Overall nice experience and many tables. The location is perfect.

My husband and I were in Bucharest at the end of our Viking cruise, and upon recommendation from a Romanian colleague, we made a reservation to dine at this historical place. This restored building is beautiful: the architecture, the paintings, and the stained glass. There were people walking in just to take pictures. We ordered their most popular dish: the house specialty roasted pork knuckle, for two, and it was humongous and delicious! It was enough to feed three to even four people! We also ordered salad and their “delicious dessert with hot chocolate filling” which turned out to be a lava cake. If you choose to order this dessert, expect to wait for 20 minutes or so. Their website mentions folk dance at 19:30. Somehow, I was picturing a continual dance show for 30 or 45 minutes, but it’s a sporadic dance show. Every few minutes, there’s one dance performance. Try to get a table that’s closest to the bar area in the center of the dining room; otherwise, it will be hard to see the dance with pillars half blocking the view and people clustering the main walkway area to take pictures and videos, blocking the view of those seated behind. It was worth visiting the place and eat there - food was good!

A Michelin star experience! The service was extraordinary, fast and nice. The food was incredibly tasty and the presentation was amazing. We had a 4 course meal which I think it's a minimum for discovering the menu proposals. You can go for more even. If you have a special anniversary you can ask for the nice separate table in the garden for a more romantic atmosphere.

A museum that offers collections of pottery, old wearings, fabrics, and woodwork from across the centuries in Romanian history. There will often be flea markets outside at ground level, which have quite interesting and authetics goods. What I appreciate about it is the diversity of exhibitions that take place in this museum. It gives a good opportunity to showcase not just Romanian culture, but also worldwide culture. When we visited it, we saw the Children's Museum During Wartime. It was quite interesting reading the war stories from the eyes of children and seeing their most precious possessions that helped them escape such a terrible time. In the garden, you will find a XVIII century wooden church moved here since '92. Also, don't miss out of the souvenir shop. If you are a foreigner and you like traditional Romanian wears or items, you will definitely not leave the shop empty handed.

The art was lovely, but walking around lost its sense of atmosphere. Staff were on their phones or following you and watching you as you were trying to enjoy the art. I also wasn't aloud to take my water in, and by near the end I was very thirsty as it was so warm inside I just wanted out. It's ashame because the art is worth seeing!

We were impressed by interior, and all features of this mansion. You can buy tickets right there, but you need to check a schedule of the tours through their site first, so you will not wait at the entrance.

🤩 amazing monastery. Very small but it seems that it is full of history. There's not a single place on the wall without decoration. I was able to get in by chance as there were people before me that couldn't get inside. It's free and you can pay for a candle to light and leave outside. Recommend going there before leaving town. You don't need to appreciate religion just that you enjoy decoration and history.

You will need at least 2 hours, if you want to see the exhibition- more, if you want to see everything detailed. But, if you stop to say "hi" to the cats living there, maybe more :)) It was a wonderful experience. The whole place is lovely. I warmly recommend.

I had the opportunity to visit this amazing park this winter, and although it was a bit chilly, I enjoyed every minute. I particularly enjoy walking along the water, and so most of my photos were taken along the waterway. A walk around the water takes about 8 kilometers and is pure relaxation for the soul! Although winter was a special moment, I'm convinced that summer brings a different kind of magic that you absolutely must experience...💚!

Parliament of Bucharest is the heaviest building on this planet and second largest administrative building in the world after Pentagon. They have official guided tours but the bookings need to be done in advance by calling them as the slots are very limited. Bookings start a day prior only. The guided tour was pretty good and explained many facts about Romanian political history and some interesting facts related to the construction and history of the building. I would definitely recommend this when in Romania.
