Traditional Sweet Dishes
papanasi
Papanasi are pillowy fried cheese doughnuts topped with sour cream and jam, and their sweet-and-savory contrast makes them a playful favorite at Bucharest cafes and family tables.
cozonac
Cozonac is a braided, rich holiday bread filled with walnuts or poppy seeds, and Romanians often judge a family recipe by how tall and beautifully swirled the loaf turns out.
placinta cu mere
Plăcintă cu mere is a thin, flaky apple pie dusted with cinnamon, and street vendors in Bucharest serve it warm so locals can enjoy its crisp layers with coffee on the go.
Traditional Savory Dishes
sarmale
Sarmale are cabbage rolls filled with seasoned pork and rice, and they are slow-cooked for hours so each bite becomes tender, making them the star of festive tables in Bucharest.
mici
Mici are skinless, charcoal-grilled rolls of spiced meat that locals eat with mustard and bread, and their irresistible charred crust draws crowds to Bucharest grill stands.
ciorba de burta
Ciorbă de burtă is a silky, sour tripe soup enriched with egg and sour cream, and many Bucharesters swear it is the go-to cure after a night of celebration.
Traditional Beverages
tuica
Țuică is a clear plum brandy traditionally distilled at home after the autumn harvest, and in Bucharest it is still offered to guests as a warm, welcoming shot.
palinca
Palincă is a double-distilled fruit brandy that can be very high in alcohol, and connoisseurs in Bucharest savor it slowly to appreciate its intense fruit aromas.
wine
Romanian wine has roots that go back to Roman times, and in Bucharest you can taste local varieties like Fetească Neagră that surprise visitors with bold, spicy character.

Buy a 24 or 72 hour metro pass at any station if you plan to hop around, cheaper than single tickets and saves queue time.
Unexpectedly loved Bucharest, great cheap food and nightlife, friendly people. 3 nights gave time for Old Town, museums and a day trip.
Palace of Parliament is massive, worth the tour but the guide felt rushed and ticket lines were long on weekends.
Skip restaurants on Strada Lipscani, walk two blocks toward Calea Victoriei for cheaper, tastier local spots and real portions.
Beautiful architecture, lots of brutalist gems, but traffic is messy and Old Town can feel touristy at night.
