The set lunch menu and the single burger on the menu, both named explicitly in reviews

Why it’s worth visiting

Worth it for the food and the presentation, above all at lunch. Ask for a table away from the open kitchen: one guest says it is noisy there.

The story

Bistro on Vlaicu Pârcălab street, open daily from 10:00 to 23:00, with a terrace and free parking. The good reviews talk about first-class food, beautifully presented, and about attentive, friendly service. A beef starter, a sea bream fillet, a berry juice, the omelette, called by one guest the best in town, and the single burger on the menu are named explicitly, the latter described by one guest as among the best they have had in the city, although it did not hold together well and had to be eaten with a knife and fork. There is also a set lunch menu, appreciated by one visitor. The decor is noted separately, with artistic window installations. The complaints come from a three-star review: high prices, waiters moving quickly but impersonally, and a table next to the open kitchen that was noisy, which led the guest to describe the place as a trendy canteen.

  • “This doesn’t feel like a burger place, so I wasn’t planning to order one. But once I saw it on the menu, I had to try it, and it didn’t disappoint. They only have one burger (Umami Yami) and it was excellent. Very flavorful and felt a bit special compared to most burgers in the city, definitely one of the best I've had. Good meat, good ingredients. The only issue was the const…”

  • “A gourmet experience not to be missed. I was lucky to find Lume by accident prior to visiting the Fine Art Museum nearby. There was a wonderful set lunch menu for 25 Lei I chose the Beef starter and the Sea Bream fillet as a main. Both absolutely delicious and different with perfect presentation. My berry blast juice was so refreshing too. Alina my waitress was so sweet too. …”
