The bartender seems very passionate about his job too, watching him prepare cocktails was like watching a show, so, if you go, I recommend you to order a cocktail. The ambiance of the place is pleasant, I liked the open kitchen concept. They have other nice touches too, like wooden knife for butter appetizer and the butter being server on a rock (the butter itself was completely regular, just the presentation was special). I did not like the chairs, they were not comfortable. Our dishes (you can see what we ordered in the picture with the receipt) were at best mediocre in taste. The main courses both had a strong smokey taste (including the puree and the sauces), that was the main “fragrance” in both. The dessert I ordered (oister like) was definitely not on my taste and I communicated this to the waiter. However, the dessert that came on the house was tasty. In conclusion, very good marketing, but I’ve had much better food, both at restaurants that were more expensive, and at ones that were less expensive. Which is why I will not go there again and I will not recommend the place. PS. I’m sorry I didn’t read the other bad reviews left to this place before I went, to see the arrogance with which the restaurant replied. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have gone there at all.

The food is out of this world. Probably the best place in Romania to dine. Certainly the best in Bucharest. The restaurant is a reinterpretation of Romanian cuisine. They use traditional local ingredients but with a modern twist that only adds taste and delights the eyes.

Each course is thoughtfully crafted to reinterpret Romanian ingredients using advanced techniques expect playful “mimicry” dishes, which are not what they appear to be. The menu changes quarterly, ensuring fresh creativity and variety. The interior blends understated sophistication with dramatic theatrical flair: low lit open kitchen, minimalist lighting on tables, occasional flames in the pass, and visual contrasts like neon accents creating a sense of performance alongside dining. Staff are professional, friendly and knowledgeable explaining each dish’s concept and backstory with enthusiasm. Service: Dine in Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The entire team around Radu was highly motivated, professional, attentive, and genuinely warm throughout the evening. Each course was outstanding—both in presentation and taste. There is a clear focus on detail, and the quality of each component is extremely high. Radu is a gracious host, a sensational chef, and a true innovator! We’re already looking forward to the next menu and will definitely be back. Without a doubt, this is a two- or even three-star-level menu at a price that is exceptionally fair for the quality offered. Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
