Restaurant Bukowina

I recently dined at this Eastern European restaurant while in search of a quick dinner before a flight. Our experience was nothing short of delightful. We decided to sample a variety of dishes, opting for a family-style dining approach, and were pleasantly surprised.

First, we savored the kompot, a homemade Eastern European fruit punch, which was made from sour cherries, a rarity in the US.

Moving on to the appetizers, the potato pancakes, though a bit thicker than expected, were scrumptious, similar to American hash browns. My 9-year-old son devoured two plates of the cabbage rolls.
Our journey continued with the polenta paired with mushrooms, a chicken dish, and spaetzle. The spaetzle, in particular, stood out as a refined version of Mac and cheese, elevating comfort food to another level. My 7 year old daughter absolutely enjoyed it!!

Throughout the meal, the service was exceptional, adding to the overall positive experience.

In summary, if you're seeking Eastern European cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere with attentive service, I highly recommend this restaurant. The unique flavors and family-style dining make it a memorable culinary stop.

I arrived at Vienna late night and tried to have light dinner. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and serves authentic Romanian cuisine ranging from light meal to heavy. The soup with honeycomb tripe is outstanding (strongly recommend to put garlic if you don't mind...). Three optional appetizers out of nine or more are all good but the best is the sausage. If you want try with as many as Romanian authentic dishes, here is the best choice in city center of Vienna.

We felt great, the food and drinks were very tasty, and the serving was very professional. Totally recommended for anyone who wants to try Romanian-Moldavian traditional food and drinks. Also, the papanași are fabulous!
Tip: check the weekly or seasonal menus as you might have some awesome surprises.

One of the best restaurants in Vienna. Hearty food and well priced.
Real Romanian food, if you were wondering!

Lovely restaurant in the city centre. Affordable prices, and huge portions (thank god we didn’t order appetizers). Lemonades were also huge, but the after taste was a bit funky for my taste.
