About the place

Străbun is run by Răzvan and Dana Mangu, who used to run Beautyfood, together with Eugen and Alina Talpan of Bunica Gătește. On Google it still appears as 'Străbun (formerly Beautyfood)'. The menu starts from Romanian home cooking: stuffed peppers, chicken soup with home-made noodles, duck breast and colivă (a sweet wheat dish) with lovage ice cream.

It holds 4.7 on Google from 1,034 reviews. The restaurant is small and has only a few tables outside, so it is worth calling ahead.

Good to know

  • Call ahead for an evening table: the restaurant has few seats.
  • Try the colivă with lovage ice cream, one of the house desserts.
  • Novos Luxury Suites is about 150 m away and București Mall about 450 m.
