Traditional food for turists

The building itself worth the visit but it’s a very crowded place. You have to book in advance to get a table. Luckily their online booking system works well. I was not impressed by the food. There were only few vegan options in the menu and of course a bit on the pricey side as you can expected from a restaurant that is also an historical landmark.

Pros: Building , Service

Cons: Crowded

Good, limited options

I enjoyed the mushroom stew with polenta. The dill complemented the mushrooms and sauce. If I wasn’t a fan of mushrooms there wasn’t really anything else on the menu for a vegan. Most of the menu is also in English, and they list allergens for menu items so if you know the words for milk and eggs it’s easy to figure out what’s vegan.

Expensive but good quality

Beautiful place, but quite touristic. They have some vegetarian options, but not vegan as I could see. For obvious reasons it is quite expensive, but a nice experience.
Had a mushroom stew which was very nice acctually

Pros: Quality and presentation

Cons: Expensive, Touristic

Book in advance!

A very touristic place so book a table in advance, we didn’t and had to wait for 1 hour. Very beautiful inside, a few veg options, mushroom polenta was really nice, soup was meh.

Overrated

The place was huge and very touristy. The food was nice but, in my opinion, there’s better places to eat for less price and better service. You pay for location and the name/fame the restaurant has

Traditional restaurant with vegan options

It's great to find a traditional restaurant that has a few vegan options. I had the polenta with mushrooms which was very delicious. My friend also had cabbage as an additional side dish.

Historical Place

I was there because it is considered one of those places to see worldwide. I wasn't expecting many vegan options and that was it. However, the atmosphere and the shows they offer during the meal are very nice. Reservation is highly recommended

Nice restaurant with vegan choices

Traditional Romenian restaurant that offers some vegan choices. We tried the vegan antipasti and mushrooms with polenta. They also have two vegan ice cream flavors- mango and chocolate.

Pros: Atmosphere

My waiter clearly said no butter in the polenta@

I was looking for a bit of history, some local beer, and vegan food. The first two goals brought me to this restaurant which is stunningly beautiful and historic. Turns out it was also on my happy cow list of vegan food options in Bucharest so, after some time at the bar I enjoyed the smoky aubergine starter and the mushroom polenta dish. I specifically asked about their use of butter in the polenta and my waiter, having clearly understood, stated definitively that they definitely do not use it. Take that as you will, it seemed OK to me. I would come back.

Pros: At lest some options for vegans, Wonderful historic building and atmosohere, Local history

Cons: Not fully Vegan. Ha.

Fun experience

Really fun evening with tasty vegan food clearly marked on the menu. To be honest we went mostly to experience the building and traditional folk dancing.
Service was incredibly fast considering the place was packed with hundreds of diners.

We had the veggie platter, mushroom stew with polenta and vegetable soup which came with a huge bowl of croutons.

Highly recommend this place when visiting Bucharest.

Watch out they use butter in the polenta.

I believe they are not very knowledgeable about vegan, at least the waiter who served us. Several plates are marked as vegetarian, but the waiter told us that none of them is vegan. I asked about the polenta and she told me that they put butter in it. Then she said they use oil in the mushrooms. I asked if I could get something else with the mushrooms and she seemed pretty annoyed by me me being vegan. I asked if they also use butter in the potatoes and she told me they don't, so I got that. The dishes were not bad but the waiter attitude definitely was.

Pros: the location is really good , the building is historic

Cons: very few vegan options , waiter attitude

Good enough

Staff was thoughtfull & helpfull. They also have plantbased milk for your coffee.
Stew was yummy, had it for lunch.
They also have a lunch combo, but not everything is vegan from that combo, that's a pity. Good restaurant, but can have more vegan options for lunch

Touristenplatz

Das Restaurant liegt sehr zentral in der Altstadt und ist absolut sehenswert.
Auf die Frage nach veganen Optionen musste ich dem Kellner erstmal erklären was der Unterschied zwischen Vegan und vegetarisch ist.
Das Essen kam nach 2 Minuten, war lauwarm und stand seit Ewigkeiten warm.
Es gibt in Bukarest viel bessere Plätze um zu essen.

Pros: Sehenswertes Restaurant, Hat vegetarische Optionen

Cons: Touristenplatz, Gelangweites Personal, Essen aufgewärmt.

A few vegan options, dirty interior

Nice options for vegans. The mushroom stew and polenta was okay. But the floor was so dirty where we were sitting, crumbs and mushed food under our seats that should be cleaned up. The atmosphere was good though as they had live Romanian music and traditional dancing on the Friday night. They need to turn down the heating though - way too hot.

Pros: Vegan options available

Cons: Dirty floor
