"La Petite Bouffe Cotroceni" in Bucharest is a cross between a French-style boulangerie, a coffee shop & a bookstore. One of my favorite lonely-time spots.

"Băcănia Fermierului" is a grocery shop in Bucharest with local products, esp. from Vrancea. You can also have breakfast made just with their own produce!

"Zissou Coffee Shop" is probably the smallest coffee shop in Bucharest, but it gathers big-hearted people. I recommend their chai latte in winter!

"Cofetăria Alice" in Bucharest take me back to the old days. I recommend the Tortul Jeni. Preorder it online to skip the (quite long) queues!

The cocktails are not only delicious but visually stunning as well, served in exquisite glassware that enhances the experience...

"Sera Eden" in Bucharest describe themselves as an 'Urban hub specialized in mixology and the art of taste', but it's the nature that's just stunning...

"Bocca Lupo" is the coolest Italian restaurant in Bucharest. They use a yellow Fiat as a working table for making pizza. Yes, the whole car...

"Shift" in Bucharest is always friendly and relaxed, with a simple and clean design. I can recommend this restaurant for its chocolate lava cake and beef.

"Beraria H" Bucharest claims to be the biggest beer house in Europe or Eastern Europe (not sure). They have a lot of meat and plenty of beer!

"Simbio" Bucharest is a restaurant located in a nicely renovated building with an interesting history. It's one of my favorites!

"Beraria Hanul cu Tei" is a beer house/restaurant in one of the few remaining typical Romanian inns in Bucharest. I love their 'all you can eat' lunch.

"GinOteca" in Bucharest definitely warrants a try if you are looking for a cold bitter alcoholic drink to enjoy the summer - their menu is 14-pages long!
