Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Romania right now.
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.
Right on the Danube River and with plenty of terrace seating, Perla is a relaxing place to tuck into fresh fish while watching the boats go by. The food is simple but good—grilled salmon is served with boiled potatoes and carrots, grilled sardines with a side of mămăliga (similar to polenta), and if you don't like fish, there are a few other dishes, such as spaghetti Bolognese.
