    The dinner is cozy & tasty, the music is jazzy and we are eager to meet you :)
    We'll start the evening with a tasty combo of Romanian matured cheese & sausages paired with some Romanian wine 🍷 Then we'll invite you to try my caraway soup 🥣 - based on my mother's recipe - & a traditional pork&vegetables Romanian stew, based on an old royal recipe 🍲 We'll end the evening with a delicious apple tart or a beloved Romanian dessert: "gomboți", sweet dumplings filled with delicious plums.

    Our home is situated in center of Bucharest (near Piata Romana metro station).

    STARTER

    Cheese & wine

    Romanian matured cheese & traditional sausages, paired with walnuts & our favorite Romanian red wine. I will also invite you to try a traditional vegetable spread very popular here in Romania called "zacusca". The one I serve is made by my mother.

    SOUP

    Caraway & onion soup

    I'm not sure if this soup is 100% Romanian or 100% traditional, but is the soup my mother used to cook all the time. And it's pretty delicious :D

    main course

    Pork stew

    Our favorite Romanian stew - is made with fresh vegetables & pork and the recipe is based on a royal recipe written by Princess Margareta of Romania. I serve it with "mamaliga", Romanian polenta. After this course, I will invite you to try a traditional Romanian spirit made by my father- it's called "ţuică".

    DESSERT

    Apple tart

    Apple pies are a very common dessert in Romanian houses - I gave mine a twist by turning it into a tart & serving it with vanilla ice cream.
    If it's plum season, I'll replace the tart with another of our favorite Romanian desserts- "gomboți", sweet dumplings filled with delicious plums.

    Mihai and Miruna were amazing hosts! They were welcoming and warm from the moment we entered their charming home. As first time users of the app, we were unsure but they put us at ease straight away, feeling like we were spending time with friends. From the sparkling wine offered to us when we arrived, to the lovely red wine served with dinner, everything was perfect. The food was absolutely fantastic! Homemade items with ingredients from their hometown, homemade liqueur, fresh ingredients; each course a culinary delights. The care and thought put into each dish was very clear and welcomed. We could not praise them more or recommend them more highly. If you are heading to Bucharest, it will not be complete without an evening with Mihai and Miruna.
