Chef Andrei Chelaru's Romanian soul food, made urban

Lovage, polenta, a reinterpreted borș: this is childhood cooking sharpened for the city. Chef and co-founder Andrei Chelaru takes the tastes of home and plates them light and modern, without sanding off what makes them Romanian.

It sits between Floreasca and Dorobanți, and of the wave of new-Romanian openings, this one built word of mouth fastest. Weeknights get busy, so don't expect to walk in without a wait.

    A promising and daring team continues to reinvent Romanian cuisine with creativity and confidence. The menu includes a diverse range of ingredients, and most of the dishes were both delicious and pleasantly surprising. We especially enjoyed the starters and desserts, while two of the four mains really stood out. Interestingly, I found that some of the simpler dishes were the biggest successes, particularly the eggplant salad, the corn, and the carp pleskavica. The service was attentive throughout, with each dish explained in detail, which added to the overall experience. A very enjoyable meal, with plenty of highlights and an exciting approach to modern Romanian cooking. PS: cool playlist! Later edit: i think the chicken dish could be improved (it had no kick, no identity, i know its just chicken:)) but still), the chocolate dessert (the brownie part) needs to more creamy, it was too dry and the blend of tastes were not a hit.

    An absolutely immaculate dining experience in this modern re-imagining of Romanian cuisine. All the dishes we had were delicious and came with recommended wine pairings, which were exquisite. The service was absolutely standout and we felt very happy with the experience.

    The restaurant is taking the essence of Romanian cuisine and making food that no one expects to be Romanian. And they manage to do this extremely well. The food, as well as very interesting, it is extremely delicious; even food that I usually found uninteresting brought great satisfaction. The staff is very friendly, offering a lot of amenities and the great Romanian hospitality. Any question we had, they were very helpful and accommodating. If you are to choose between the downstairs or the ground level, you can pick the downstairs kitchen floor if you want to see how people work, how they prepare the food and are interested in the cooking side of the food. If you want a quieter meal, with not a lot of things happening to let you focus just on your table, the ground level is probably the right place to stay.
