Romania Restaurants

Restaurants in Romania run the gamut, but tend to be a bit less sophisticated than more touristy European countries. In Bucharest, you'll find everything from ambitious chef's serving up haute cuisine to organic fare in airy lofts. Elsewhere, Romania's peasant tradition is strongly reflected, and your best bet is to seek out more traditional eateries, where hearty meat-and-vegetable-based dishes show influences from nearby Greece, Turkey, and Bulgaria, and cake-based desserts are spiced and stuffed with apples, prunes, or nuts. It’s all best washed down with a glass of Romanian wine or the traditional plum brandy.

  • 1. Crazy Restaurant

    $$$$

    This is a hidden gem in a culinarily-challenged city. Modeled on a French gastro-bistro and housed in a fabulously wacky modern building, it has a café area, beautiful contemporary dining room, and spacious outdoor terrace. The American chef's wonderously ambitious cuisine puts fresh, seasonal ingredients front and center, with an emphasis on seafood and quality meats. Dishes are inventive and beautiful: foie gras terrine with green apple and a deep purple splash of three-berry coulis; pork belly with garlic purée; quinoa with pumkin and almond. Desserts like light lemon meringue pie or almond strawberry shortcake with triple sec and whipped mascarpone are equally tempting. There are excellent sandwiches and salads at lunch and a fine wine and cocktails list to boot.

  • 2. Café Athenee

    $$

    This stylish European café in the Hilton Athenee sits right on Revolution Square in downtown Bucharest. It's a popular daytime snack or lunch spot for hotel guests and locals alike for the variety of sophisticated pastries and hot beverages, an appealing brunch menu, and plenty of wines by the glass. At night, out come the candles and the atmosphere shifts to loungy and louche: a DJ spins, and the champagne flows.

  • 3. La Ceaun

    $

    The smaller of the Brasov's two La Ceaun, this one is for quick bites and the other, just around the corner at Strada Republicii 17, is for more substantial meals. The menu majors on soups and stews, served with pillowy house-made bread. There's a menu for each day of the week. For instance, on Monday, you can tuck into cabbage soup with bacon; on Tuesday its potato soup with tarragon; and on Saturday Papricas de pui cu galuste, a hearty pork and paprika concoction.

  • 4. Terroirs Boutique du Vin

    $$

    There are more than 500 wines to choose from here, and the restaurant's sommelier is on hand to help. The food menu is as short as the wine list is long, with a handful of starters, salads, burgers, and four big mains—surf-and-turf, a steak, pork ribs, and salmon. There's little for vegetarians, but the sandwiches and salads can all be made meat free. If you're coming by for a post-sightseeing bottle, pair it with the cheese or meat board. Although this restaurant's focus is on wine, it's non-smoking and friendly enough for older children, especially at lunch.
