About this tour
This session shows Bucharest's food through a restaurant serving Romanian classics in the Old Town. You see the kitchen itself before the camera moves to the counter, where I point out a few dishes on the day's menu, from grilled mici to a bowl of ciorbă. The session stays inside the one kitchen throughout.
We open with a short sound check near the counter. I keep a warm, relaxed pace and take questions about the dishes as we go. Afterwards I send a short list of what we saw being prepared.
This suits anyone curious about local food beyond the Old Town's history. It also works well booked before dinner in the centre.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included

Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?

What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
