Pickles
More and more fast-goods are popping in town. Pickles is definitely to put on the list, offering a daily changing shortlist of items on the menu, including handmade pickles-based options prepared in front of your eyes. I recommend the Cornbread-chorizo-egg combo for a spicy brunch if available. You can eat your today’s special on the large and sunny bench/table. Convinced ? Give a try to one of the nice homemade pickles pots to bring home! Remember : don’t mess with the Pickles! PS: Only open from Thursday to Sunday for now!
Strada Vasile Lascăr 21, București 030167, Romania
