Papila Bucharest
Soups and sandwiches
So, are you looking for a place to eat? Bucharest has a lot of great options and Papila is one of them. A big part of the menu consists of soups and sandwiches. So if you are craving some pizza, pasta or burgers, keep looking for another place. As you can see here in the menu, there are 6 types of soups, 6 types of sandwiches, 2 other dishes (one with eggs, one being a salad) and deserts.
What I like most about Papila is the fact that the drinks they serve are just as great as the food. It has happened to me many times to find places with great food, but without an interesting bar menu. Here you can have specialty coffee, craft beers, natural juices, a good selection of wines, tea etc.
At Papila, they try to use seasonal ingredients and they change the food menu depending on this. For example, in summer they use tomatoes and, as the weather gets colder, they use ingredients like pumpkin and root vegetables. I recommend you to taste Borș, a vegetarian sour soup common in Eastern Europe.
Sundays are destined for RAMEN only. Reservations are a must, otherwise there are low chances to catch a free table.

Smashed burgers – LA style meets Bucharest
Our favorites are Eggs & Bakey, Triple Smashed Angus and the loaded fries, and they mean it when they say loaded! Oh and the bacon... it's just perfect.

Bean to cup – Friendly neighborhood coffee shop
If you're a foodie you have to try their pistachio or cheesecake croissant (best in Bucharest in my opinion) and pretty much every other snack they have.

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

La Petite Bouffe Cotroceni – Books, pastry & coffee
"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.

Mario's Osteria – Best smash burgers in town
The options are limited (and I absolutely love that) & every burger has ingredients matched to perfection from the thyme and garlic toasted sourdough bun.

Pastrami and more – New York deli in Bucharest
Every sandwich on the menu comes with a pickle so you just have to order some fries for a full menu (my go-to is the pastrami poutine version)...
