Bucharest’s viral food scene: buzzing, trending, instagram-worthy spots.

Guide Commentary
Kaiamo is Bucharest's hottest culinary playground right now, and it's easy to see why it's blowing up on food social media. Chef Radu Ionescu brings serious London fine-dining credentials back home, crafting playful, boundary-pushing dishes that look as incredible as they taste—think rosy sausage and mash, edible river stones, and duck with popcorn and elderflower. The space itself is a visual feast: moody lighting and neon contrasts create that perfect Instagram backdrop. What really gets people talking is the quarterly menu rotation, so there's always something fresh to discover and share. At around $30 per person (or $55 for the tasting menu), you're getting restaurant-quality creativity without the pretension. The vibe is energetic but intimate, perfect for capturing those jaw-dropping plating moments. Whether you're a food enthusiast chasing the next viral dish or someone who appreciates culinary innovation, Kaiamo delivers the kind of experience that makes your feed—and your palate—genuinely excited.[1].

Currently one of the best in Romania in my humble oppinion. We have enjoyed a truly intriguing culinary experience within a lovely venue featuring a cozy atmosphere and with quite an impressive serving spectacle. Food was just magical: playful, creative and above all: full of tast. Some of the cocktails were also divine. ————— I would not recommend the drinks pairing option - it’s a bit too much and just seams wasteful after a point. Dear Owners, please review and reconsider that part of your menus; Other than that: thank you very much for the experience and we wish you all the best
Celebrating my 60th birthday at Kaiamo in Bucharest was nothing short of spectacular—an experience that truly encapsulated what fine dining should be. From the moment we walked in, I knew we were in for something extraordinary. If Kaiamo isn’t already on the Michelin radar, it most certainly should be. My experience at Kaiamo is a step above the Michelin restaurants I have visited. The atmosphere exuded an intimate, yet refined elegance, setting the perfect tone for a memorable evening. What truly made this dinner stand out, however, was the food—each dish a masterpiece in both flavor and presentation. The chef has crafted a menu that is nothing short of a revelation. The ingredients are as unique as they are luxurious, combining local Romanian elements with bold, modern techniques. Also, the impeccable service that made us feel like we were the only guests in the restaurant. The tasting menu we chose was a journey of textures, colors, and flavors that danced on the palate. Every bite felt like a revelation, an intricate symphony of flavors that were perfectly balanced and nuanced. The use of seasonal ingredients—many of which I’d never tasted before—brought a fresh vibrancy to the meal. Whether it was a delicate seafood dish or an expertly prepared meat course, the textures were absolutely sublime, elevating the experience from mere dining to artistry. Kaiamo is not just a restaurant; it’s a journey—a rare opportunity to indulge in something truly special. If you’re seeking an unparalleled culinary experience in Bucharest, this is it. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.
We booked this restaurant for our final night in Bucharest and it was a memorable one. For one, it was a celebration night with live music and themed dishes. We sat at the bar and were mesmerized by the team working together to get the plates out. Service was excellent, very attentive, and they speak English. The food was innovative and unforgettable. We were happy to have spoken to the chef a couple of times since he served us the dessert personally. I highly recommend Kaiamo and hope that one day it will earn at least one Michelin star. Definitely a highlight of our trip.
This is without a doubt one of the best restaurants I’ve ever experienced. From the moment you step in, the ambiance and design instantly draw you in—every detail feels thoughtfully chosen to create a welcoming atmosphere. I especially loved the open kitchen, where you can watch the chefs at work—it truly feels like witnessing art in motion. We chose the 20-course tasting menu (yes, a lot—but worth every bite!). Each dish was creative, beautifully presented, and full of unique flavors that made the experience unforgettable. A highlight was having the head chef—who is also the owner—personally serve a few of the courses. It gave us the chance to connect with him, hear his story, and understand the passion behind this remarkable place. Overall, it was an exceptional experience. If you’re a true food lover or a fan of fine dining, I can’t recommend it enough.
The Michelin man needs to find his way to Bucharest ASAP - Kaiamo is massively deserving of some ⭐️⭐️⭐️ power. This meal was unbelievable. The courses were delicious and unique, every one had a story behind it. The service was exquisite, I have never felt so well looked after at a meal. Everything was perfect. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.
