the ARTIST Restaurant

Exquisite Dining at The Artist: A Culinary Journey in Bucharest The Artist, the renowned restaurant in Bucharest, is widely recognized as a landmark in the city. Located in a classic old building with a charming back terrace, it is advisable to make reservations in advance. Its fixed menu, functioning as a customizable tasting menu, offers a remarkable gastronomic experience. The interior of the restaurant is impressive, although it would be advisable to restore the upper area (with incredible paintings). The service, while polite and attentive, appears to lack specialized training. Some errors, such as confusion in orders and the absence of tablecloths on the terrace, could be avoidable to maintain the overall excellence of the place. In my case, my menu consisted of the option of 5 dishes, which I chose according to my interests. It was ideal, especially with the generous addition of a complimentary appetizer. Although the price per person (69.42 euros/341 LEI) may be considered high compared to Spanish standards, the quality of the dishes and well-balanced portions partially justify the cost. It would be beneficial for the restaurant to update its menu more frequently to offer variety to its regular customers. In summary, The Artist remains a standout option for food enthusiasts in Bucharest, with a notable area for improvement in staff training and the periodic modernization of its menu. Recommendations: For a more complete experience, it would be interesting for the restaurant to consider offering different atmospheres for different moments of the meal, such as using the terrace for desserts during the summer. Additionally, enhancing English proficiency among the staff would ensure impeccable service for international diners.

A Michelin star experience! The service was extraordinary, fast and nice. The food was incredibly tasty and the presentation was amazing. We had a 4 course meal which I think it's a minimum for discovering the menu proposals. You can go for more even. If you have a special anniversary you can ask for the nice separate table in the garden for a more romantic atmosphere.

We wanted to eat here on a very short notice. They had just reopened and changed menu. If you want to have dinner here it is safest to book in advance. We managed to get a table for lunch instead which is less busy, make sure to come hungry! We had 4-5 dishes with wine pairing in their herbal garden. It was nice to see them come out in the garden and pick some herbs for the cooking. The food itself was amazing and with very good wine pairing. Our waiter was attentive, kind and professional without disturbing too often, which I think is a balance many fine dining restaurants fail to achieve. Our favourite was the chicken liver starter. I would definitely eat here again.

An excellent experience. We took some friends who were visiting Bucharest and we were all blown away by the quality of the food compared to other restaurants in the area. The food and presentation was exceptional, as was the service and wine menu. Prices are higher than most places in the city, but the price matches the quality of the experience. Highly recommended.

Our strict vegan diet directed us to explore the offerings at The Artist last evening. To say we were impressed by the menu would be a gross understatement. It was explained to us that the restaurant is housed in a former private residence completed in the 1890s. The atmosphere is unique and conveys a feeling of spaciousness due to the large rooms and high ceilings. An elegant and winding staircase delivers one to the restrooms should one be in need. What about the food you ask? Well, we opted for the 5 course option consisting of specialty vegan dishes that included a mushroom risotto and cucumber sorbet. Everything was deliciously superb in appearance, texture, color, and finally taste. A literal feast for the taste buds. If you’ve read this far you’re no doubt wondering “what about the service”? Same answer. It too was outstanding. For the sake of brevity I will close by saying that on our next visit to Bucharest, we will certainly carve out time to again enjoy an extraordinary dining experience at The Artist.

Great restaurant. Very attentive and professional staff. Good looking and very tasty food. We enjoyed it a lot. Not a cheap one but price is reasonable.

Very nice place, great atmosphere and a pleasant enough fine dining experience. The portions are quite a bit larger than I expected, even 3/6 courses could be enough. I tested almost every course, and I can say that all were quite good. Maybe not mind blowing, but good enough to be worth it. I will definitely return.

The food is absolutely amazing, the way flavors and textures are combined is simply astonishing. We've had 4 courses and spent about two hours, but the atmosphere is so pleasant we didn't really feel time passing by. The service is impecable, everyone is so friendly and helpful. It's one of the best places to take someone on a date or a special night out. The place was packed, but quiet. You absolutely need a reservation.
