Lacrimi și Sfinți

Honestly disappointing. Food was very average and forgettable. Meat was tough, flavors were flat, and sauces had no character. Service was bad. The waitress seemed careless and unmotivated, moving slowly and acting like she didn’t really care she was working. Plenty of empty tables but I was still put at a tiny one, plus a mandatory service charge. Wouldn’t come back.

This restaurant is perfect to dine in a relaxed ambiance. Very good Romanian restaurant serving excellent Romanian dishes. The dessert is recommended as well, too delicious!! Perfect for a traditional Romanian dinner in central Bucharest!

Lacrimi și Sfinți is an unforgettable restaurant that perfectly blends tradition with creativity. The menu reinvents authentic Romanian recipes with a modern twist, using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Every dish we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is warm and rustic, with a cozy charm that makes you feel right at home. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and happy to explain the stories behind the dishes, which added so much to the experience. If you want to taste Romanian cuisine at its finest : both authentic and innovative this is the place to go. Truly one of the highlights of our trip to Bucharest!

Small cute restaurant, ideal for couples, with traditional cuisine. We loved the food there, especially the meatballs. There was an issue with the payment and their pos that was troubling is but all in all very good experience!

Very good traditional Romanian foods. Just a note for gluten free—Menu is a bit misleading/incorrect for gluten free markings so make sure to ask the server. We had the sarmale and sausages for main dishes and recommend both :) enjoy!

The food and the service were really great. However I didn't like that the place chose to include the service-fee. I believe the customer should decide. Personally, I would have put more tip, but once it was included, I didn't appreciate it. Other than that all was amazing. Thanks

The food was very good. I had ram pastrami. It was delicious. The house red wine was great also. Professional service.

I have very mixed feelings about my meal at this restaurant. Overall the food was quite good but there were some annoying things which made the experience less enjoyable. I was there with my partner and it so happened that both of us had two courses. Both of mine were lukewarm while his were boiling hot. I had the steak, which I asked for to be done medium. As you can see from the pictures, it was much more than that. It was good nonetheless. The way everything is presented in the menu seems more exciting and better spiced than what's served on the plate. For example the "spiced butter with various greens etc" was just a slab of butter with some parsley. The sausages and cabbage were also supposed to be very well spiced. Absolutely nothing special about them. Nothing wrong either, just average. Which sums pretty much the whole experience. Average... and not reflected in the absurd prices...
