Embassy

This place has been around for the best part of a decade and must now be included amongst that select band of legendary Bucharest venues whose very longevity makes them worth your time. Both a restaurant (a very good one; the food is casual yet inventive and outstanding) and impeccably trendy cocktail bar and club it opens just before lunchtime and stays open well into the early hours, packed with beautiful people. The large yet secluded terrace, although just a stone's throw from Piata Romana, is the perfect urban oasis on warm evenings. You will need a reservation at the weekends.
