Bucharest Restuarants / nights out

[Markytop]

I will be visiting Bucharest with the missus for a few days later this week, and wondered if anyone has any recommendations of things to do / places to eat when having the other half in tow. I have been to Bucharest a couple of times before, but on business and when single so the choice was rather loose, like some of the establishments frequented Am looking for something a bit more classy this time.

Am looking especially for one nice restaurant to be a treat for her birthday.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Can't help you with any names now but I'll be there on the 14th so can update then . I'm goin to visit draculas pad + a few days fishing in the delta but first 2 days will be in Bucharest . From what I can remember there was a nice restaurant by the Irish pub in unirii square

Might be too late for you but try Caru Cu Bere, off Calea Victorei but I cant recall the name of the actual street it is on. Amazing venue and usually some traditional entertainment on. Its a bit different and your OH should enjoy it. Your Hotel will know it and be able to make a reservation for you, it is well known in the city.
Another option would be restaurants around Lake Herestrau, there are a selection of restaurants there and possible to sit outside when it is warm enough, which given the propensity of the locals to chainsmoke through their meals, could be a good option. Again, ask hotel for info.
I found a number of great restaurants tucked away in unlikely locations in side streets, so you shouldn't be short of somewhere to go.

Not too late at all - I fly out tonight. thanks for the suggestions, I had read about the Caru Cu Bere, but good to know it gets a recommendation.

Cheers

Very highly recommended!

Also, the Howard Johnson has two very smart, very trendy eateries.



Bucharest is one of my favourite cities. Have no idea why as it is a bit of dump and dirty but there is a certain something about it.

Word of warning if you are going with the OT - wear dark glasses as you will most certainly be looking at "sights" you shouldn't be looking at in the company of a lady!!!

Either way...enjoy!

There's a Dracula themed restaurant near the city centre. Very cheesy, but good fun, and the food was superb!
