1. Taverna Sarbului – balkan restaurant
This is as close to home-cooked Romanian food as you can get. Situated over near the “Free Press” square, the tribunale area, you’ll see the “lodge” style Taverna. With open seating areas both indoors and out, you’ll be able to have a cozy romantic dinner, or a nice business lunch, whatever your desire (yes they even have wi-fi). The meals are very substantial portions, and almost all starters or appetizers are enough for two people. The service is excellent, the staff is very attentive and always “making sure” you’ve got everything you need and your table is clear. Don’t miss the schnitzels and the soups. Pricing is on the reasonable side, with virtually any meal being around the 30 lei range, but the menu is quite large with many options available.

3. Restaurant Nicoresti – Romanian restaurant
It is not a luxury restaurant, with major design claims or rigid dress code. The only thing people think when they go there is: Food! Why? Simply because it’s very good for finding things that you hardly eat anywhere else. Not because it is too complicated, but you find there types of food that other chefs tend to ignore.

4. Four Seasons – Lebanese restaurant
In Bucharest, there is not only one Lebanese restaurant, but over 5. The restaurant Four Seasons remains the first on their list. It is a premium restaurant that you can try. It is not decorated in Lebanese style, being decorated in warm colors. The strong yellow-orange light is perfectly blended with other colors, which creates a very friendly atmosphere. That will be confirmed with products and serving.

9. Mandala Restaurant – vegetarian restaurant
Many people think that vegetarians eat only vegetables and raw foods lining the serious. I recommend all who think this to eat a meal in the Mandala. This will radically change their mind. The restaurant is very good not only for vegetarians, but for those skeptical about the variety of dishes without meat. Whichever you choose from the menu, I assure you that you will be surprised. In a good way, of course. For a population that has on the table at least once a week rolls, French fries or snitele, the only reading of the ingredients makes you open your eyes and say ‘No I never thought that this could be on the same plate. I was like this. I do not know how many of the recipes are genuine and how many are taken from aboard. In fact, it has too little importance when you love what you eat. And one thing is certain here: foods are healthy and easy.
