Food Scene

Bucharest has a great food scene, these are some of our favourite restaurants (mostly within walking distance of the apartment)
Most popular Romanian restaurant in the Old Center. Located in a very nice mansion in the middle of the Old Center, and they have live music and dancing most nights. Traditional food, and they brew their own beer

Amazing traditional Romanian food in a very funky atmosphere. Highly recommend, but not the cheapest place (order the "sarmale" (cabbage rolls) and "fasole batute" (bean dip)

The biggest park in Bucharest. In the summertime, there are always events organised (especially for children). There is a large lake in the center of the park, and nice terraces along the lake
