Without any useless etiquette pretensions, this restaurant does what any restaurant must do in the first place: prepare tasty food.
The Legenda salad is special and not only: it is easily digestible and tasty at the same time, a real delight, while Harisa is only for the initiated: it is an extremely spicy pepper paste, but if you are fond of spicy food?it’s worth trying!
Carp Hraime means something I haven’t found anywhere else until now, not even something similar to it: it is a spicy sauce with a predominant tint of coriander and a pretty large piece of carp cut in thin slices (which is also something you don’t really find, because most good restaurants don’t serve carp, as they find it below their dignity to cut something of the sort in small slices). Ziva with mushrooms is a kind of knot-shaped bread, filled with mushrooms and some cheese, I think, and kept in the oven until some delicious stuff comes out. The blinces with chocolate is again something super; it’s made of some special kind of pancakes, cut in a particular way, filled with chocolate and nuts and put in the oven, plus ice-cream on top when they are done. I was about to die of so much eating.
Legenda is the only Jewish restaurant in Bucharest, from what I know, and it really does a good job. It’s not a smug restaurant, it’s pretty small, but the serving, the quality and the quantity together make this Gourmand’s Place deserve its name.
