Trai Restaurant
Modern Romanian cooking in an old townhouse, using produce from small farms across the country. It is considered one of the benchmark modern Romanian restaurants.
Opened in 2021 in an old house between downtown and Copou Hill. Chef Cătălin Amarandei builds modern dishes on the cuisines of Bukovina, the Danube Delta, Moldova, Muntenia and Transylvania, using farm-direct ingredients, and the menu also includes fish, seafood and risotto. Restograf lists it among the seven benchmark modern Romanian restaurants nationwide, and its Google rating is about 4.8. About 90–130 lei per person, with main courses at 50–65 lei. Phone reservations are recommended, as there is little parking out front.
