Mystic Tree Bucharest
The best garlic soups in the city
Alex from Bucharest
Mystic Tree is one of my favorite spots. I simply go there for one of the soups they have - The Garlic Soup.
Some say that price is highly related to quality but for some reason, in this case, it is great to have the best garlic soup for only 7.50 lei (not even € 2) and it is amazing. It is amazing not only in my opinion but also according to everyone who has tasted it. The prices for the rest of the dishes they serve aren't as cheap...
I hope to meet you there for more than just a soup. It is exactly what is needed for a quick lunch, or an afternoon break.
Following the garlic soup, I recommend trying the 'Mascarpone cream cake'. It is to die for...I love it.
Another reason why I enjoy this place is that the head waiter is very nice and friendly. It is always nice to go to a place and feel welcome. It is true that I am a frequent client and my loyalty is rewarded.
Keep in mind that it is a small family business with one waiter and once in a while it might be closed for a day or two, without prior notice.
