Real Foods is all about real food. Simple, right? All the products you can find will be carefully selected, in order for you to ensure you only get "real products" which are both tasty and healthy. Working mainly with Romanian producers (for what can be produced in Romania of course), they give you the opportunity to do your groceries in their stores, but also to order online. Real Foods is a great concept for the people who don't want to lose time trying to find great products in typical grocery stores, but it is also for the ones who want to ensure they don't eat any harmful products for their health. Basically, Real Foods filters out what is good for you. You save time, and they ensure quality.

But that's not all! They also prepare "ready-to-eat" menus that you can enjoy for your lunch breaks. 

This location is one of the three locations Real Foods has in Bucharest so far.

Real Foods Aurel Vlaicu

Plantini is one of the best alternatives if you are into healthy grocery shopping. Vegan products, natural ingredients... there is all you need to make you have that healthy lifestyle you may be dreaming about.

But that's not all, there is also a specialty coffee shop (serving coffee from the well-known Italian roastery, Gardelli) offering breakfast options. Sunbathing while eating a delicious breakfast and having a cup of coffee is truly recommended.

And guess what? The prices are really fair for what you get.

Yes, Sara Green is a vegan restaurant, but you don't need to "be vegan" to give it a try.

Orygyns Aviatiei is the first place offering specialty coffee which opened on Aviatiei-Pipera business district, willing to offer good coffee for the corporate world. But it doesn't mean that the cafe does provide coffee on weekdays only, you can also order your favourite drink during weekends, until 3pm. Please note that you'll not be able to take a sit easily there, as the place is quite small and sees most of its customers ordering coffee to go. But if you're lucky, a bench will be waiting for you.

Le Manoir Gourmet Market, located at One Herăstrău Towers on Str. Nicolae G. Caramfil, is a paradise for all gastronomy lovers. This French gourmet market is not your average grocery store. It is a haven for high-quality products, ranging from freshly baked goods to fine wines and champagnes.

Utopia Coffee Bar is a small place with a friendly atmosphere, on the ground floor of one of Primaverii's villas. Probably the first place using a XLVI espresso machine in Bucharest, they collaborate with Dropshot Coffee Roasters for their coffee drinks. Andrei and Christiana will most probably be behind the bar, offering you one of the smiles you're happy to get when you enter somewhere. 

Utopia Coffee Bar

Bucharest's most recent museum, featuring Romanian art from 1960 til today, as well as temporary exhibitions. We love the exhibitions, obviously, but also the building, designed by Youssef Tohme Architects and Associates. A five floor building with its own identity, where you can find a coffee shop (serving coffee from Bob Coffee Lab), a food area, an auditorium, a rooftop terrace, a library and a wonderful garden.

Canadian artist Jeff Wall exhibition is now on-site, until the end of January.

MARe/Muzeul de Artă Recentă

Beans&Dots opened its third location at the heart of Primaverii, in MARe's (Muzeul de Artă Recentă) premises!

Remember: Beans&Dots is heaven for the people who enjoy coffee from the beloved The Barn roastery in Berlin. The super friendly team is here to offer you a great shot of rocket fuel with some quiches, cakes and biscuits in case you get hungry.

The terrace is also a big asset you may want to consider ;)


Beans&Dots Specialty Coffee Shop - MARe

Ciocolatella

Eating delicious cuisine from the Algarve region, prepared by a team of Portuguese chefs, here in Bucharest? Yes it is possible! Once a week, fresh fish coming from the Atlantic Ocean arrives by plane to Bucharest. And because they are not afraid to go all in, even the wine selection is brought from Iberic peninsula. Honestly, I am not sure how could they make this place feel more Portuguese than it already feels.
If you're hesitating about what to order, a safe choice would be to eat a Ceviche or Espetada. Another magic combo: the oysters along with some Portuguese wine. And of course, for a happy ending have a few Pasteis de Nata, the original Lisboan pastry by excellence. 

Dancing Lobster

Bob Coffee Lab is more than a coffee shop. It is a lab, owned by two dogs with international recognition in the coffee scene, where roasting, trainings, and preparing coffee drinks are few of the options that can be mentioned to describe what's going on there. We particularly like the house, shared with the Mikkeller guys, where you can chill before enjoying a walk in Herastrau Park. Coffee lovers, you can also grab some coffee for home.


BOB Coffee Lab

Located in Bucharest's fancy Dorobanti area, OTOTO Store is a must-visit for coffee enthusiasts and lovers of sustainable products.

Steam Pop Up on Piata Charles de Gaulle replaced former Steam Uruguay's iconic location for coffee lovers. Steam is basically one of the first spots delivering specialty coffee in the whole city. A straightforward setup: a Victoria Arduino espresso machine, a brew bar, some cookies, but above all, great baristas. Expect the Steam team to be the dream team to provide excellent coffee. 

STEAM Coffee Shop

Brunchmania had definitely set up in Bucharest. Just browse the Brunch category in Zece la Rece, you'll need more than a month to try it all if you go to one brunch place per day.

So why another brunch place ?

First, they are dedicated to brunch, all day long, everyday.
Second, you can choose between the old classics : continental, full english or all kind of eggs. 
Third, the service is fast, professional and the kitchen staff is operating in front of your eyes.

Enough good reasons, right? Well, that's not all. What I enjoyed the most was the lively atmosphere and the diversity of people: a family with kids and grandma, friends curing a hangover, mother and daughter for the weekly debrief, etc...

It kinda reminded me of french brasseries except it's located alongside Parcul Floreasca, providing a green surrounding to the chatty ambiance.

A must try!

Zexe Braserie is an institution for pastry lovers from Bucharest. It's all about taste and textures, from creamy to crunchy, as well as delicate colors that will influence your brain to tell you to get a sweet break. The place is also one of the leading place for Cozonac enthusiasts.

But hey, let's not talk only about sweets! Zexe Braserie is more than that. You can also enjoy a proper breakfast, or have a nice lunch and dinner.


Zexe Braserie

Adrian Iaslau, one of Bucharest most notorious barista, especially known for his latte art skills, opened Onest Coffee in 2020, literally in front of the TVR building. 
I'll be onest with you, the coffee tastes delicious, the shop definitely has a nice vibe to it, and top it up, they manage to set up quite a large space outside to drink your coffee enjoying the fresh air. Onest belongs to this group of recently emerged "former-garage-turned-coffee-shop". If you take a closer look at the recent developments in town, especially in the northern part, you'll be surprised to find more and more of those good ideas. Let's face it, Bucharest holds way too many cars. It makes me happy each time I hear that a piece of land has been conquered back by humans, or as we call them in the transportation war: pedestrians.

Coffee from Bob Coffee Lab on the menu, a mural from the famous Wanda Hutara, a large terrace allowing great morning sunbaths, and cocktails for evenings with friends, in the heart of Floreasca.

Kanpai is not your typical japanese restaurant. Actually, it is not a restaurant... It is an izakaya.

Wait... What did you just say???

Yes, Kanpai is an "IZAKAYA". Izakaya are pretty much the japanese version of what the brits call a "pub", or the french a "bistrot". Yes, there is food (and it's damn good), but there is also an interesting selection of alcoholic beverages in the menu. By the way, "Kanpai" means "Noroc"! You can't tell you were not aware anymore.

Japanese go to izakayas to have fun and socialize with their friends. You can expect loud music and people cheering all night long. My only advice is to go there several times, because honestly, there are so many nice things on the menu.

#riceburgerfoiegrasteriyaki (just giving an example here).

Itadakimasu! But more importantly, Kanpai!

Since 2007, Madison educates people in discovering the world of luxury perfumery. From fragrances to candles and other body products, the "best noses" in the city will help you discovering high-end products from France, Italy or Spain. One of the only way to clean your nose after smelling few perfumes is by smelling coffee. Therefore, coffee has its role in the shop, as Madison roasts specialty coffee in order to provide to their customers a memorable customer experience.

Did you know Bucharest was hiding a true little chunk of Korea? Seoul is the only Korean restaurant which survived more than 20 years, attracting all the Korean community living in Bucharest, as well as aficionados of Asian cuisine. The restaurant is located in the last floors of a villa near the Rugby stadium. The design of the whole building has it's own kind of kitsch where your good mood will equal your hunger as soon as you're seated with the menu in hands

Seoul Restaurant

Nestled in the heart of Dorobanti, Origo has recently expanded and opened its second location, Origo Dorobanti. This cute hideout from the heat or rain is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a cup of specialty coffee. The staff is incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk through the door.

The coffee menu at Origo Dorobanti is truly unique, offering a signature menu putting into perspective four coffee origins, but also four specialty teas, four coffee-inspired cocktails and four natural wines.

The ambiance is serene, and the café is beautifully decorated with a set up that may remind the coffee nerds out here of coffee competitions. At Origo Dorobanti, you're the judge.

Origo Dorobanti

Recently moved to the fanciest neighborhood of Bucharest, Delicii Gelato is definitely one of the best places for homemade ice-cream. The rainbow of flavors they offer will soothe your moody day or your sweaty summer afternoon - try the basil&orange one, but also the classics such as vanilla&cherry.
The cute intimate interior and the affordable prices make it actually a great spot for a first date. And if the gelato isn't motivational enough, how about coffee with ice-cream or even better ice-cream cocktail?! Go ahead and melt away your worries with some flavor adrenaline.

Delicii Gelato A

Two Minutes is one of the greatest cafe in Floreasca district. Located on Constantin Aricescu street, the cafe is serving coffee from Right Side Coffee, a roastery from Barcelona. Two Minutes is the perfect place for the ones who go for a walk around the beautiful streets of Dorobanti. They are also one of the few cafes offering Matcha Latte. 
What makes Two Minutes famous? The dogs chilling outside? The kids playing with there with their parents? The baristas? Ionut, the owner? Two Minutes is definitely the type of place where everyone seems happy, and this is probably why it is always a pleasure to be there.

Two Minutes

It took me some time to know where to find fresh fish in Bucharest. And finally Raionul de Pește appeared to me. My own little miracle, as an apparition of the virgin Mary, it comes as a life changing event. Calamari, shrimps, octopus, fried sardines or fish and chips? From the Adriatic sea, to the Atlantic, the chefs will make sure they cook something which fits your needs. You will most probably take a sit in front of one of the two kitchens, bringing you closer to the artisans preparing your dish. While located in Dorobanti area, the place is still pretty laid-back. You will find workers having a quick lunch, business people having a quick -but tasty- bite to relax afterwork, or elderly people craving for sea food. No fancy dress-code, come as you are and enjoy a some of the finest seafood around.

Raionul de Pește

If you want to experience not only Japanese food but also a Japanese moment, then Yuki is the place.

An open kitchen, a japanese indoor decoration (meaning rare but elegant items of attention like pebbles in the sink), ceramic tableware and traditionally-suited waiters. Kon'nitchiwa and go for the meals.

Beside the classic ramen and gyozas (all extremely tasty), you can also taste a few specialties and specials of the day. I particularly enjoyed the Kinpira.

They provide a decent choice of sake served either cold or hot and their mochis are top notch.

So have a bento for lunch or explore the menu for dinner. Best way might be to jump in blindly.

Yuki

You might've heard about the Scandinavian craze with veganism (especially Sweden: 10% of the population is vegan) and how picky they are - I tried that with a Swedish friend visiting Bucharest and she was amazed by this place. Cute because not too big, Rawdia is modern and friendly enough for their internationally styled dishes - raw vegan food and other meal options that just have an amazing taste.
They don't really have a menu, but rather some staple dishes that are freshly prepared every day, ranging from raw pizza to soups, stuffed grape leaves and cheesecakes. Doesn't matter how undecided you are about what you're gonna eat, they will present it in a very attractive way.

Be sure to book your table for lunch, as it gets easily crowded.
Rawdia offers home delivery as well!

Rawdia

Pain Plaisir Dorobanti is one of these bakeries that we like to have next to our home. They got some fre(s)(nc)h bread obviously, but also a quick selection of pastries and cakes you would crave for. An example is the Kouign Amman, which is as tasty as the ones you can find in Brittany, place of origin of this cake made of layers of salted butter, sugar bread dough. 

All the ingredients used to bake your favorite bread come from France.


Pain Plaisir Floreasca

A 14 years old business, which started as an importer of Italian food to Romania, quickly evolved into a catering company, and suddenly became one of Bucharest's most successful italian restaurant. This is the story of Grano, in Floreasca. A good place to enjoy some pasta for lunch while in the area, but also a grocery store where you can find interesting products to bring and enjoy at home.  

Grano

C-O FI Factory is a cafe in Floreasca district. Located in the well-known Strada Putul lui Zamfir, C-O FI is the perfect place to meet with your friends before or after going for a meal in one of the delicious restaurants located in the same street. They roast and serve their own coffee in a spacious and well-designed place. 

C-O FI Factory

The Bus found a parking lot, or actually a garage! And guess what, this garage is not used to park the bus, but it is a brand new coffee shop. No worries tho, you can still see the yellow bus being parked nearby.

It's nice to see The Bus Coffee Shop providing great cups of coffee roasted by Sloane for the people of Dorobanti. Stay tuned tho, the actual bus might also be serving coffee somewhere in town during sunny days!

The Bus Coffee Shop

POT Stories promises an unforgettable dining experience. With its warm and minimalistic design, the restaurant exudes a cozy and intimate atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a romantic date or a successful business dinner. POT Stories prides itself on its fancy cocktails, which are expertly crafted with a twist. The menu offers a tantalizing array of dishes that take you on a culinary journey around the world, with the octopus being a must-try. The friendly staff ensures that you are well taken care of, providing quick and attentive service.

POT Stories

Frudisiac is a sort of second Swedish embassy for Romania. The place offers the traditional "Fika", which is an institution in the Scandinavian country. The coffee comes from Drop Coffee, one of the well known coffee roasters in Stockholm. You'll definitely enjoy the menu, and I guess the picture below will speak for itself. Smaklig måltid! 

Vegan options available.

FRUDISIAC

I have to admit that Domenii is one of my favorite neighborhoods for a sunny walk with a friend on a weekend. 

However, it was difficult to find a spot to drink a great cup of coffee in the area until Mad Goat made the move a couple of years ago. And now, guess what? Mad Goat has a neighbor serving specialty coffee drinks: Butter Coffee Shop!

I don't believe in the fact that having two specialty coffee shops in the same area means fierce competition. In contrary, it's a chance to build a specialty coffee hotspot that will bring people from all over the city to drink their fav cup of joe!

Here we are, discussing about "Butter". Butter has its nice sloped terrace (as all coffee shops which recently open in a former garage), and quite a big interior, proposing a nice selection of cakes. "Butter" serves coffee from Dropshot, and it's a pet-friendly location.

Butter

Did you know that goats were extremely important for the coffee world? Indeed, Ethiopian dancing goats were the first ones chewing coffee beans back then (don't ask for an exact date). So goats finally have their mausoleum in Bucharest, where we can celebrate their super powers. Supported with a Della Corte espresso machine and coffee from Sloane Coffee Roasters, you can maybe ask for goat milk with your Flat White or Cappuccino (if not, they also have cow milk)?

MAD.GOAT is now in Domeni!


MAD.GOAT Specialty Coffee Shop

A beautiful building, amazingly renovated and decorated is now welcoming a cocktail bar, a wine bar, a coffee shop (powered by Origo), and a brunch/lunch spot, all in one place! This place is / re.kol'ta /.

/ re.kol'ta / is at the heart of Floreasca, and if you haven't heard about it yet, we definitely advise you to give it a try, as this place will definitely become one of the trendiest spots in the city.

Have you realized how bread became Insta-friendly these days? More and more people sharing about the beauty of having a great piece of bread on the table while enjoying their favorite meal of the day.

But, hey, it is even better when it tastes good, right?

Cuptorul Brancovenesc is the perfect spot to collect your bread then, freshly taken out of the oven. 

However, note that if you come for the bread, you may leave with additional bags of handmade placinte, rulou, aperitiv, tarta and more. They really look good, but also taste good.

They're are also some shelves with other local products that are worth discovering.

Cuptorul Brâncovenesc

Looking for some great fish or sea food for tonight? Raionul Floreasca is the place to be then.

You can follow the menu prepared meticulously by the chefs, which guarantee you a variety of fish dishes you would love for sure. But what makes Raionul Floreasca unique is the "PrivateChef" concept, where you decide what you want, and the chef cooks according to your needs. You chose what fish or sea food to eat, and you tell the chef in which style do you want it to be prepared. You also chose the side dishes accordingly. 

With great fish comes great wine, but they also have champagne on the menu. All you need to spend a great night with your date or with some friends.

Raionul Floreasca

Moritz Eis might sounds german, but actually, the brand has been established in our south-western neighboring country: Serbia. Since then, the brand opened several shops in Central and Eastern Europe. What I like about them, obviously the taste of the ice creams, all made naturally, without being full of sugar. The minimalist brand image and design of Moritz Eis is also a reason to stop by.

Moritz Eis

Romania's craft beer scene boomed in the last few years, some of the brands being already considered iconic. However, many other micro-breweries are doing a good job all over the country, and the right way to know about most of them is to go to The Beer Institute, the first shop dedicated only to local craft beers. More than 100 different brands available in the shop, but there is also the possibility to enjoy a fresh beer at the bar. 

The Beer Institute - Romanian Craft Beer Shop

What a nice feeling to see all these shelves full of Italian mozzarella buffala, parmigiano, prosciutto and other italian products. What an even nicer feeling to see that you can actually take a sit between these shelves and enjoy a proper dinner with a great wine, while in Floreasca. I let you imagine how happy you'll get when your pizza or ham and cheese platter reaches your table. Buon Appetito.

SARA Restaurant - Floreasca

Cărți, Dulciuri și Flori is a concept store developed by Ioana Uretu around the idea of the perfect gift, because one can never go wrong with a tasty caked, a spectacular bouquet and an mind opening book. Ioana and her crew are just as friendly as you can imagine. If I were you, i would go there to have a coffee pavlova, enjoy the flowery set and home like experience.

Carti, Dulciuri si Flori

From the same team that did regretted A1 and A3, Ai Sushi Bar offers obviously pretty-and-tasty sushi. But it doesn't stop at sushis, as they offer all kind of warm dishes, usually with some kind of asian-fusion touch, from Indian to Japanese (so pretty large palette yes). And more than that, they also serve a breakfast their relaxed terrace. Terrace that reminded me of one of the most Parisian one from Bucharest. Finally, they strike my most sensitive cord to make sure I'm fully seduced, serving local craft beer. 

Ai Sushi Bar

Already the third season since Mercato Comunale opened. The newest spot, called "Mercato Kultur", located in Dorobanti not far from the German Embassy, was a huge success in this summer of 2020. The well selected, tasty food-trucks who were on-board, the special events with local craft beer brewers, and the various artists invited to share their talent allowed the local community to enjoy amazing nights, in a cozy environment.
PS: It is also open in winter, a great potential spot to do your Christmas shopping.

Mercato Kultur

Caramel is another French venture. The bakery ambitions to position itself as the best of a kind in the country, while using Romanian ingredients only. In the back, two French chefs work day and night to find the perfect recipe for sweets that are not-too-sweet. And that's the nice thing that stroke me, they know how to make the tastes addictive without overdosing the sugar. While being mainly a Boulangerie and Pâtisserie, they do very generous and unique sandwiches (my kind of sandwich). And it doesn't stop here, as every day a different soup is crafted. Funny enough, they are very serious contenders in the exquisite soups game. Caution: both soups and sandwiches may contain iconic french cheeses.

Caramel (Dorobanti)

Nasul Rosu (the red nose) is all about creating a direct relationship between the farm and the consumer. Indeed, Nasul Rosu is a shop, but it is, first of all, a farm located in the village of Palanca near Ploiesti. All the vegetables you will find in the shop grew up naturally, without chemical fertilizers and are all seasonal. Besides fruits and veggies, you will also find a little grocery store, with ingredients coming from producers sharing the same values than Nasul Rosu. Great products made available for you!

Nasul Roșu

Sandwich Gallery is not your typical art space. It challenges the conventional definition of an art gallery by creating an active and engaged environment for both artists and the public. Located on Strada Băiculești, this collective-run gallery makes the most of its small space to showcase site-specific works by Romanian and international artists.

Sandwich has gained recognition on the international art scene, participating in prestigious art fairs such as LISTE Art Fair Basel, ART021 Shanghai, and Viennacontemporary. The gallery has also built strong connections with the art community in Beijing, fostering exchanges and collaboration with CLC Gallery Venture and C5 Art Space.

Founded by artists Alexandru Niculescu, Daniela Palimariu, Cristian Raduta, and Silviu Lixandru, Sandwich is now under the guidance of gallery director Maria Birsan. Their commitment to pushing boundaries and strengthening the Romanian art community sets Sandwich apart as a dynamic and influential force in the art world.

Interested about having a romantic dinner with your loved one by keeping traditional romanian cuisine at its best? Casa Doina is a secure choice then. Located in a wonderful villa built in the 19th century and designed by the famous local architect Ion Mincu, the restaurant also offers one of Bucharest's most prestigious gardens.

An evening there feels like returning in the past, at a time when men were dressing with hats and women with elegant dresses (-which can still happen today tho).

Enjoy your romantic night out then!

Casa Doina

Created by Claudia and Mihai out of their passion for design, particularly furniture design, which they discovered during their first trips abroad.
What’s in store: items full of spirit and authenticity, bearing the signature of designers, carefully crafted from the best quality materials

"Ceci n'est pas un café". You might be familiar with the Anti-café concept. Seneca offers all-you-can-eat fruits and biscuits, with unlimited tea of all sorts. You don't pay for what you consume, but for the time you spend there (a fair price of 8 RON per hour). The place does not server coffee (sacrebleu!) but only tea and natural lemonades. Filled with books, Seneca is this hybrid between non-café, library and co-working space. Actually, after a bit of flirting with the place, you can go to second base by subscribing to a monthly plan. Pretty quiet and relax, it gets even more quiet in the "quiet-room", made fore the ones who really need to focus without any of the slightest disturbance. May it be to read, meet a friend or work, Seneca is definitely a cozy place with a generous soul.

Seneca Anticafe

Garage Cafe is a cafe which literally stands in a Garage. The ones from Timisoara may think that it is a franchise from their own Garage Cafe, but there is just zero connection between both places, besides the fact that both sell coffee. Having acquired the garage last year, they are moving to the next step by adding a van that will be offering coffee in different places in Bucharest in no time. The only problem now is that they might need a garage to put the van...

Garage Cafe

Known in the local specialty coffee industry for being the distributor of various coffee equipment brands such as the famous La Marzocco espresso machines, the place used to be a showroom only. But their presence in Baneasa neighborhood and their willingness to be closer to the final customers motivated the team behind Artisan to open their own coffee shop. They serve coffee from MABO, and sell equipment for people desiring to do a better cup of coffee at home. Artisan can be the right choice if you still wonder how to be a better home barista.

Artisan Coffee Gear

A REAL hidden gem. Tehran restaurant is the type of place you can't find without knowing the exact address. Located in a house, there is nothing that will make you think it is a restaurant from outside. There is zero indication visible from the street. But, when you ring the bell, the magic starts operating.

Two rooms, 20 seats, and real Iranian cuisine. Expect the traditional lamb/beef/chicken sticks with rice and safran, and a tomato on the grill. But they also have other dishes that you might not find in other restaurants in Bucharest. 

The choices are limited, as they ensure fresh products for their customers.

You'll find the results in your plate. The meat is juicy, not too cooked, and the taste will keep you speechless !

Tehran Restaurant

Shopron Gelato & Coffee is the ideal place for a gelato break before enjoying a walk in Kiseleff Park, serving ice-cream from Sweetology, as well as other sweets and savoury options for the ones desiring a quick snack. You can also find some seats in front of the shop if you want to enjoy your purchase on the spot.

Saunter down to Bean to Cup, more than your average neighborhood coffee shop. Infused with coziness and a convivial vibe, this destination is a rendezvous point for both productive remote work and enjoyable brunch dates. Delicious cinnamon rolls for your sweet tooth and if you're more into something savory, go for the exemplary duck bun layered with salad, cheese and topped with a perfectly poached egg. And yes, the bacon is crisped to precision.

Pair your order with their impressive range of beverages, from flawless hot chocolates, rooibos tea to proper cocktails and perhaps the star of the show - their coffee. Dairy-conscious? They got you with a variety of vegan alternatives, think almond, oat, and even bean milks. Expect friendly and well-informed staff, and a hefty crowd on weekends. Clearly, Bean to Cup has all the ingredients for a delightful return visit.

Bean to Cup

Open 5 years ago, Pain Plaisir offers one of the tastiest fresh bread of the city. You know how people recommend sushi-places where an actual Japanese crowd goes to eat to? Well same here, follow the frenchies. And I'm not even talking about myself here, but more about all the other ones I bumped into there, who were like me, looking for shelter. We have this stress every-time we go abroad: where will we find good bread? Even more, if we live close to a good bakery, even with the worst apartment, it makes it hard for us to move out. We even base friendships on bread. Did I tell you that the word "copain" (friend), comes from "pain" (bread). Co-pain: the person you share bread with. 
All this to say that Pain plaisir enters this category of little jewel of flour that keeps us bread-lovers happy.

Statia Rombeer brings draught craft beer to your home!

All you have to do is to ask for the quantity of beer from the draught you want and they fill it in 1L bottles.

Price-wise, it costs much less than taking 33cl bottles. However, even if we should advise you to drink responsibly, you should still try to make sure the bottle gets drank relatively quickly after you open it, if you want to keep the quality of the beer tasty, as you cannot really store it for a long time after it got open. 

This is really a great way to get quality beer for large home parties, without damaging your wallet too much.

If you want to stick to craft beer in 33cl bottles (which I completely understand), please note that they have a large selection of bottled craft beer in the fridge. We are glad to see the craft beer movement being spread in residential neighborhoods.

RomBeer TEI

Bacania Janos Bacsi is a "bacania secuiasca", meaning from the Szekelys, the Hungarian ethnic group living in Harghita, Covasna and Mures regions. 

Most of the products you will find at the "bacania" come from the region. You'll find craft beer, cheese, meat and other delicacies, selected carefully to ensure high quality standards and transparency.

Before you ask - and as it is shown on the picture - : Yes, they speak Romanian, and yes, you will find romanian products too. 

PS: This great spot is a recommendation coming from one of the winners of our Christmas contest. We've tried it, we've loved it, we've added it on the map. ;)

One thing's certain, compare to many other capitals, Bucharest lacks cinemas and cultural centers promoting independent movies. While (too) many people prefer to spend their time watching blockbusters in cinemas located in shopping malls, the Romanian Peasant Museum proposes a great selection of mostly independent Romanian and foreign movies. 
If you are lucky, you can also enjoy the local products which are sold outside before or after the movie. And of course, the museum in itself is worth visiting too.

Cinema Muzeul Țăranului Român

A looooong list of delicious pastries, all nicely dressed at the counter. Going there alone will force you to have a long reflexion before taking your decision, as all the tarts look tastier than the last. However, going with some friends might be the best option for the ones willing to taste a bit of everything, following with a discussion about what each likes the most (and eventually doing a last minute plate exchange). Anyway, Atelierul de Tarte got you covered: pistachio, chocolate, orange, cream, lemon, biscuits, meringue, this is just a few examples about the tarts you'll find there. And I just talk about the sweet stuff here. 

They also have fabulous savory stuff for brunch and lunch options. 

Atelierul de Tarte

It's all about wine!

I didn't expect such a wide range of Romanian and European wines, they claim 500 references. Being also a wine store, you just have to add 30 lei on any bottle to have it served at your table, enabling you to enjoy world class wines at cellar price. The menu seems appetizing though I've only tried a delicious platter of well-selected Romanian cheese. 

Fancy yet casual, service was top notch, so there's no point to drink home anymore!

Many say that French Revolution is the place where the eclairs are actually better than in France. Hardly believable, some would say. But I can assure you never had I so much pleasure eating an eclair before going to French Revolution. On top of eclairs, they now also provide excellent specialty coffee from Origo. Not the worst combo for a sweet break.

French Revolution Piața Victoriei

Real Foods is all about real food. Simple, right? All the products you can find will be carefully selected, in order for you to ensure you only get "real products" which are both tasty and healthy. Working mainly with Romanian producers (for what can be produced in Romania of course), they give you the opportunity to do your groceries in their stores, but also to order online. Real Foods is a great concept for the people who don't want to lose time trying to find great products in typical grocery stores, but it is also for the ones who want to ensure they don't eat any harmful products for their health. Basically, Real Foods filters out what is good for you. You save time, and they ensure quality.

But that's not all! They also prepare "ready-to-eat" menus that you can enjoy for your lunch breaks. 

This location is one of the four locations Real Foods has in Bucharest so far.

Blitz n roll

Have you ever stopped in this little bakery located in the northern part of Calea Victoriei, very close to Piata Victoriei? I think I've walked past this bakery hundreds of time before actually entering in the shop, wondering if my belly would get positively rewarded or not. However, I recently got the opportunity to give it a try, rushing from a meeting to another, allowing myself to take a 15-minute lunch break.

First reaction? Andreea F is a 'Patiserie fina artizanala', and you have the proof when you see the quiches and croissants displayed in front of your eyes. It looks like it was made at home, and the nice smell confirms it. 

Second reaction? The colors of the pastries want you to order some more.

After a couple of seconds of hesitation, here I come, ordering a combo "quiche - pastry" (and a croissant too, but that remains between us). 

Getting out of the store, I found a bench where to enjoy my lunch break, far from the noise made by the cars passing by. 

Conclusion? Give it a try and you'll thank me later.

For a lot of people, eating a pizza seems like having some basic comfort food. This happens until you try a pizza from PizzaMania. Each bite of their pizzas will make you understand that a lot of efforts have been put together for you to have a moment of culinary pleasure. Think only about the dough, which is usually what people judge to determine whether or not a pizza is a good one. At PizzaMania, they let the dough rest for 26 hours at least, ensuring a delicious and light taste. They cover the dough with high-quality product and let it in the oven for the perfect amount of time, offering a great result I can only recommend. Many people love this place, and they have many good reasons to do so.

"Nicolai To Go" is the new concept from the well-known Nicolai Tand, chef and owner of "La Cantine de Nicolai", one of the most prestigious addresses to have lunch in the country. By opening "Nicolai To Go", Tand wanted to offer a canteen-like restaurant, where people working in the surrounding can access to more sophisticated food at a fair price. As mentioned in its title, many people order food to go, but there are quite enough seats available for the ones desiring to eat in.

Chiftelarie would make us think about a romanian restaurant preparing chiftele in a local way. But meatballs are actually something we can find everywhere on Earth, right? From Sweden to India, from the Armenia to Morocco, each country cook its meatballs in a specific way. This is what Chiftelarie is all about : bringing different ways to eat meatballs and plescavita in Bucharest.

While their meatballs are obviously tasty, they also pay attention to quality for their bread and side dishes. 

They have great lemonades and Zaganu beer on the menu if you're thirsty. 

Enjoy your mea(t)(l) !


Chiftelarie Dorobanti

Have you ever seen this little cute place located on Bd Lascar Catargiu?
Well, it is actually much more than a cute place, but a place where culinary miracles happen.

From delicious wraps to tasty cakes, not to forget their (vegan, of course) cheeseburger and Super Quinoa burger, there are plenty of yummy options meat lovers can't refuse. 

And guess what? The prices are really fair for what you get. 

Yes, Sara Green is a vegan restaurant, but you don't need to "be vegan" to give it a try.

Located on Calea Dorobanti, Dose Café belongs to two former sailors from Constanta, who fell in love with specialty coffee during their numerous trips all around the world. Open since a year and half, they remain loyal to their coffee provider, Caffenation, a roastery based in Antwerp, another harbor city, to give us a wink. Good coffee for sure, but also great service! Always smiling and willing to help, you will feel home by the time you open the door. The place is small, but very enjoyable for a coffee to drink in.

Friddi is more than an ice cream shop. I'll call it a gelato and sorbetto lab, where ice cream is produced on the spot, with fresh Romanian milk and cream, pistachios from Sicily, single origin chocolate from Africa or South America, and obviously fresh fruits.

PS: Her hair is no longer pink ;)

Most of the time, coffee shop owners are former baristas who acquire enough knowledge and have to desire to manage their own place. Sometimes, it is about a customer who sees an added-value in opening a coffee shop while being novice in preparing coffee (and asks for help to his barista friends). Saint Roastery is the story of a couple. who has spend the last couple of years traveling around the world, to discover all the aspects of coffee, from the farm to the cup, from Africa to America. Saint Roastery is the result of their research and experiences, being both a roastery and a coffee shop, both located in the same place. The place is spacious, the owners are friendly, and of course, the coffee is good. Amen.

Romania's craft beer scene boomed in the last few years, some of the brands being already considered iconic. However, many other micro-breweries are doing a good job all over the country, and the right way to know most of them is to go to The Beer Institute, the first shop dedicated only to local craft beers. More than 100 different brands available in the shop, but there is also the possibility to enjoy a fresh beer at the bar.

The Beer Institute

Just a few blocks south of Ștefan cel Mare, Acuarela is a living, breathing piece of art in progress. Everything here screams handmade, handpicked, collected with love, to build a one-of-a kind home for artlovers and artists, featuring jazz concerts and jam sessions, indie theatre, photography, live drawing, contemporary art vernissages and fairs.

If it is indeed a bistro with good craft beer, burgers and some vegan options, all its proceeds go to the artistic and cultural association Imbold that has its gallery in the main house (one that could very well be your grandma’s if she’d been to art school). The attic (or mansarda) is a super cozy hangout where you’ll sometimes catch a screening. The garden is where you’ll wanna hang out with your friends under Acuarela’s now-iconic skyline of coloured umbrellas. If it starts raining cats and dogs, you’ll hardly be protected. But that’s exactly the right time to grab the water colors and brushes you’ll find on the table and start being creative.

Acuarela

"Cafelier" sounds like a french translation for "barista". It definitely refers to a coffee professional, and this is what the place aims to achieve by roasting their own coffee on Lascar Catargiu boulevard, next to Piata Romana. The place is also a coffee shop offering a spacious design inside and a little terrace in front of the shop. We particularly like the friendly staff. Congrats on the opening!

Cafelier

Hey, clatite lover, what about trying pancakes, but the Russian way this time? 

The best way to explain you what a Russian pancake is about is to try it yourself. Just know that after one amazing salted pancake, you might feel quite full. But if you still feel like feeding your stomach with good food, there is an interesting sweet menu as well. 

We usually go for the pancake with cheese, lot of cheese.

If you wonder about the chef, just know that he is from Russia and he knows what he does. 

Brutal Russian Pancakes

Look at this picture! They have a "Raclette burger" with truffle on the menu. Is that not enough to convince you to get there?

Ok, if you're not a cheese lover, they have a lot of other options, such as burgers with avocados, other ones with black tiger shrimps and more. If you prefer the basic option, it's also there. 

The burger experience at the next level.

The Millenial Burger

Crocant is one of these outstanding places in town, with many nice things, but I am trying to figure out what I should mention first? Probably their cakes and biscuits, being all exposed at the food counter, that you might look for a couple of minutes before deciding what to order. Then, you'll see that they have a breakfast and brunch menu. I can only suggest that you come several time to decide what you like most, because so far, I enjoyed literally everything. Coffee lovers, you'll be served with some coffee from Guido, and the people looking for some sparkles can opt for some of the trendy lemonades, sodas and craft beer. Not to forget, Crocant is not only a nice brunch place, but it is also a bakery, in case you're looking for some good bread for home.
