If you love a good brunch explore the best options in Bucharest! I will also list places to avoid so you avoid going to a brunch and instead get an average omelette.

I am a person who loves slow traveling, loves eating where the locals eat, and I have good taste when it comes to food. I am also tired of all the bad tourist places that are recommend all over Google and by tour guides. I often see on YouTube or TikTok tourists who come to Bucharest and are sent by food guides to tourist traps where the people from Bucharest do not eat and where the ingredients are of poor quality. So I decided to present you my take on Bucharest food. Expect a lot of local ingredients, in-season ingredients, delicious dishes, and amazing stories. This guide will be divided into Lunch/Dinner Places, Brunch Places (here I have some incredible recommendations), and Places with Romanian food (authentic restaurants that offer local and in-season ingredients). For all the places I added their Instagram account as I believe this is the quickest way to see how the dishes look like and to find their website for reservations.
