Excalibur Bucharest
Medieval atmosphere
If you are fascinated by the movies with kings and queens who like to sit at long tables, eat from huge plates and drink from silver goblets... then Excalibur is the place for you!
The first time I heard about this medieval restaurant, I was curious so I had to come. At the entrance you can find a long red carpet and at the end you can see a copy of the famous sword of King Arthur. The atmosphere is ensured by waiters dressed in medieval clothes, wood and ceramic dishes, you can eat by hand without anyone whining and medieval Irish music plays in the background.
All the food is generous and also colorful, and besides meat and vegetables on most dishes you can find various fruits. (The dishes have medieval names). Also, if you would like to drink something, you can choose to drink unfiltered beer or Merlin poison (brandy) or maybe some wine.
Usually is it hard to find a table without a reservation, so you should call first.
