I lived in Bucharest for awhile. This portrayal is so fake. Go watch Rick Steves or Bald and Broke to see how Romania is for NON Romanians. And by the way, you will get random stares if you speak English in Romania. This is more of an INFOMERCIAL promoting local businesses as they do NOT treat you this way.

Dear Sammy, and Tommy, I am Romanian, and I had a chance to visit USA, I was in south Texas, last year, so I know what you usually eat in USA. Our food is the result of many cultures intersection, for so many years (Turkish, Hungarian, Russian, Bulgarian, German), so there is no surprise that you found Romanian food both surprising, and delicious. Basically, you could not stop eating. I truly appreciate the way you present our food. Even I had frequent mouth watering, watching you, so cool ! Thank you for all these promotions of our food culture. Do come back to Romania, I am sure you will be missing many dishes we have.

[@eedragonr]

Waiting for the Romanians to reach the western performance of paying € 3.50 for 100 grams cherries, more exactly 35 euro for a cherries kilogram to give it to their children. Ask yourself how did they get there. Keep cutting your trees and you will get sooner to the Soilent Green

Thank you for coming back to Romania. The Real Italian beer you can find in the Supermercato stores, in Bucharest and the rest of the country. The Birra Moretti that you find in normal supermarkets and bars is made in Romania by Heineken Romania under license. It says on the label. The taste is different from the real italian one. Here is something interesting for the next time you come to Romania: the Vault Bar at the Marmorosh Bucharest ( Autograph collection hotel).

lol...the birra moretti is italian only with the name ...it is produced in Romania by Heineken and it has a different flavor than the one produced in Italy... because of the hops that are being used, the recipe is the same. The Nenea Iancu beer is a romanian beer only with the name...it's being produced in Germany :))). Better you tried a Ursus or Timisoreana or Bergenbier...thouse are the most recognizable romanian beers.

If anyone ever wonders why Romanians love to enjoy other things then their own: you have to understand that Romanians love to try new things, especially food, and add it to their own lives. It is kind of the reason why Bucharest is called little Paris. We aim to be better than we were/are. But we aren't just blatant sheep. We still like to judge it before we add it... 😅

You can pay everywhere with card

[@AfterDarkPovesti]

I'm a Romanian and i haven't used cash for more than 3 years! You can have cash in small amounts like 100 RON or something just in case ( maybe street souvenirs or things like that ), but you can pay everywhere with card.

[@TheMatchReview]

@@AfterDarkPovesti thanks mate, thats good to know. Looking forward all the food in Bucharest.

[@razvanmazilu6284]

I usually have a bit of cash on me, but I almost never use it. Shops, pubs, restaurants take card payments. Generally speaking businesses are required to accept card payments; I think only very small businesses are exempt from this. For example some small street vendors will probably take cash only, in case you want to buy souvenirs and other knick-knacks. Speaking from experience and as a point of comparison, you're much more likely to have to pay cash in Berlin than in Bucharest 🙂
