10 Best Bistros in Romania

We had a breakfast there.
Great service. The Benedict was great also the coffee. Stores sells also bread and bakery.

Atmosphere was nice. Cozy outdoor setting and comfortable spaces inside. Had lunch from the set lunch menu. Food however wasn't that great as the other reviews here. The soup was served lukewarm and the meatballs inside was cold. The chicken meat meal was also dry.

I stopped by this brunch spot close to their closing time, and they still served me without hesitation, which I really appreciated. The dish I had was tasty, though I found it a bit pricey for the portion size.

I had the pleasure of having lunch at this restaurant and it was a delightful experience. The midday atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, perfect for a casual lunch. The staff was prompt and courteous, ensuring a smooth dining experience. The food was flavorful and well-balanced, not overly juicy, which I appreciated. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, showcasing the chef's attention to detail and understanding of various flavor profiles. The dessert was light and refreshing, a perfect end to the meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a satisfying and enjoyable lunch.

Cozy and classy place, nice terrace, extremely friendly staff. Recommend 10/10.

I love the vibe of this place ♥️ If you like bikes and hip places, it is for you. I got a matcha and while it was not that memorable (can’t really feel the matcha taste), I still love this place for the statement it makes and the lovely team.

Especially love it on sunny days ☀️

Would love to see some more food options as well

Excelent place with super quick service. Food was great. My kid just loves the place. It is also pleasant on the inside, but the terrace outside is really nice. Plan to return for the famous breakfast they have❤️🤘.

Definitely recommend! Breakfast all day, and everything tasted as it looked - amazing.
Pancakes - totally the best pick possible if you are looking for a sweet breakfast. Kind of expensive, but I’d say worth it’s price.

The food was extremely savory! The best omlete I have ever had! I would've ate 2 if I had still have room in my belly, lol.

Turkish- Romanian family business, where the food and attentiveness of service meet the expectation. When checking the reviews I took a leap of faith and travel to the shop to treat myself to a Turkish dish. I was greeted and served in a very warm and welcoming manner. Speak easy dine in and also good to take away. I was not disappointed with the experience. Recommend trying one of the Turkish sweets in the cool counter. Recommend the place.

It was a wonderful tiramisu restaurant very close to the city center. We had three dishes and some desserts. Food was super good and the personal was incredibly friendly.

I almost finished my shawarma before taking a photo. The owner is a really nice and authentic person that doesn’t work only for money but wants the customers to enjoy the food! He actually advised us on what combinations were better and what he recommends, and gave us to try beef and lamb combination on the house :)

Authentic Turkish food: I especially recommend the falafel and the gözleme!

More of a cafeteria, than a bistro. Probably great for grabbing an office lunch, but I wouldn't recommended it as a hang out place. Large portions, but the food is hit or miss. The salads were ok, but the other two dishes were too salty. There's a strong smell of food/cooking that will get into your clothes.

Great little spot for brunch. 2 blokes working the room with service and drinks. No rush, just relax and enjoy yourselves.

Cute small place with one table for 4 or maybe 5 or perhaps even 6, the staff seemed a little annoyed, not sure if I said something dumb or if it was something else. We had to order at the counter instead of coming to the table and pay straight away, since we don’t know how the service would be there was no tip. Nice for if you’re in the neighborhood.

We stayed across the street at the hotel Grand Continental, so it was convenient to go at Boutique du Pain for breakfast.We ordered eggs royal 35 and avocado poached eggs 30 on a normal slice of bread, one capucino 14 and one espresso 12, I did request some cherry tomatoes on the side.
The service is fine, the atmosphere eh... to many delivery people going in and out, the price too high 99ron.

In a week we went to this restaurant three times and it was honestly so good every single time. Exceptional soups, both traditional and international cuisine dishes with a creative twist. Not as heavy as purely traditional dishes. Not overpriced. Lovely atmosphere and great staff.
Note: it is full close to always (for a good reason) so it is always better to call and book in advance

This was our second time eating here for breakfast. Was not disappointed, staff are very friendly, and try to accommodate you when it's crowded. It's a small place but definitely a good place to eat breakfast. I would come back to eat here again.

Amazing place! The burgers were super tasty, the fries were perfect (not frozen and dry as in many other places). The staff was extremely polite and our order was taken and served quickly! We will definitely visit it again!

The place is nice but the food is pretty average. Prices are also a bit high but aligned with other similar places.
The coffee is good and they have a lot of variety but the food was nothing special. It lacked a bit of salt and some touches to really make you come back.

Lovely place. Delicious food. I recommend entering the gate. Wonderful atmosphere! Live music.

Excellent nice Frenchy bistro. Food was excellent, same as the service and atmosphere. Live music is a plus. Definitely recommended in the old town of Brasov, a few steps from Piata Sfatului on a nice quaint street. Tried the French onion soup, truffle pasta with beef sirloin and chocolate gombot. All veeery good. :)

The waiter is very kind and friendly :) I ordered a cheese mushroom omelette, detox juice and pancake. Everything taste great and good price. Also there are some lovely cats. Very chill and we can relax. 150lei for 2 adults. 3 drinks, 2 meals and 1 pancake.

Cool place, underground, looks like a squat, reminds me of Christiania in Copenhagen. Many choices of beer.
Great barman, speaks English well.

4.4 stars ;-). Very nice Location, no free table outside and a bit warm inside. Service in the beginning was very good but during our stay we had to wait to place our orders and became thirsty. Food was good/very good. Salad with chicken ok (but meat was really dry), chicken with polenta very good. Desserts chocolate cake and sweet were noodles very good. So a honest feedback: clear recommendation for a visit and some room for improvement for the service.

I found this local burger place through Lonely Planet travel guidebook on Romania. The atmosphere is very good and the place has its own signature which makes it a unique must-see if you are thirsty for a beer along with delicious bites in more authentic diner. All was perfect. The burger was a bit too dry for my taste. I should have asked them to make mine medium, which was not a big deal at all.

Amazing service, coffee, atmosphere and strong wifi.

Recommended for my fellow digital nomads. Nice coffee, great pastries, wifi is strong around 25 MPBS up and down

The service was fantastic and located in a very cool part of town.

Spend a few hours doing work here, great vibes for sure.

Cozy specialty café with craft beer, cakes and cocktails. Visited the place in December and a delicious mulled wine was also in menu. Kind staff and a challenging way to the toilet, shared with a sort of governmental institution, frozen in the communist era. Briefly, a trip to the restroom is just like travelling back in time to the '80s.

The Happy Pancakes are amazing! They're so pretty and delicious! I love all the fruit and the side of icecream.

There is a cat, which I found entertaining but realize some people might not like. The cat didn't bother us, just wandered around.

Great place for serving breakfast or brunch. Please note that the restaurant only serves this kind of dishes. Both the experience and food were delicious. We have ordered eggs, scrambled eggs and pancakes and all of them were super tasty.

I usually go there for New Year's, 3rd time in a row this year, super party as always - only time I actually have food too as snacks and takeout are brought in; sometimes going for a drink in the evening. It s a cool older style building near downtown with great atmosphere, good drinks and awesome service.

An old house with a large garden.
Prices are high like 36 Ron for pasta (it is ordered from elsewhere) or 14 for a beer.
Design style I would say is kind of retro-hipster-creepy
Bonus points: big trees that protect from heat or maintain a little of the day’s warmth in a chill evening

Elegant.

I had an amazing experience at Modelier, savoring some of the most delicious hamburgers and fries I have ever tasted. I'd like to start by saying that the restaurant had a pleasant and welcoming ambiance, with modern decor and a relaxing atmosphere.

The hamburger I ordered was simply divine. From the first bite, I was captivated by the perfect combination of fresh and high-quality ingredients. The bun was soft and slightly toasted, and the patty was juicy and cooked to perfection, just the way I like it. I added some melted cheddar cheese slices, which brought a rich and creamy taste. The sauces and toppings complemented the hamburger harmoniously, creating an explosion of flavors in my mouth.

I can't overlook the French fries I ordered as a side dish. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just as they should be. Each fry was perfectly golden and had a delightful taste. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of seasonings available to accompany them, and the mix of salt and aromatic herbs added an extra layer of flavor.

The restaurant staff was extremely friendly and attentive to detail. The order was served quickly, and the waiters were willing to answer any questions I had about the menu or make recommendations.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Modelier to anyone looking for an exceptional culinary experience. Their hamburgers are absolutely delicious, and the fries are equally delightful. You'll be surrounded by a pleasant atmosphere and receive excellent service. I will definitely be returning to taste other items from their diverse menu.
