The holiday season is different this year, with health and public officials advising all of us to spend Christmas and New Year's Eve at home with close family members. And, while going out to restaurants is no longer an option, those spending the winter holidays in Bucharest can have special menus or traditional goodies delivered at home. We've listed some options below.
- For last-minute Christmas meal deliveries
The La Mama restaurants have prepared a special menu with traditional dishes that never miss from the Romanians' tables during the winter holidays. Among them, the tasty boeuf salad or the gelatin dish called piftie, sarmale(a mixture of rice and minced meat rolled in cabbage leaves), or the sweet bread cozonac. More here.
La Placinte also has a special Christmas Box prepared for delivery or pickup, which includes sarmale with mamaliga (polenta), salata de vinete (eggplant salad), and deserts. They all cost RON 269. Further details here.
Another option to try is the Romanian restaurant Caru' cu Bere. Their Christmas menu includes many tasty traditional dishes such as jumari(crispy fried pork greaves), piftie, sarmale, or meatballs. Check it here.
All the traditional dishes the Romanians always add to their Christmas menu are also available for order at Hanu' Lui Manuc. Their offer also includes jumari and boeuf salad, piftie and sarmale, or a cold cuts plate. Find it here.
