Greentea
Or black tea, or white tea, or oolong tea, or some aromatic tea, or some of the other over 100 kinds of tea along with a piece of cake.
This the usual treat you will get at one of the best tea places in Bucharest.
Called intuitively greentea, it is placed in a house built in the interbellic period, when Bucharest was called the Little Paris for its good taste, chic and beauty. In the house you can find books you can read while waiting for the tea, or play some blackgammon, cards or chess with your friends.
Part of its charm is also that it is placed pretty far away from the noise of the big boulevards, making it a perfect refuge during the busy, hot, summer days. Getting there is somehow tricky and the best way is to have a friend that was there before. However, if you do not know any locals, use as a starting point Foişorul de Foc (Fire prevention Tower – now a museum of the firefighter force), walk on the Traian street twoards the south, as you intersect the Pache Protopopescu Boulevard, make right walking on the small street that appears very shy between the two big boulevards. Walking along this small street you will arrive at the Polish embassy, where you should ask the jandarms guarding the place for directions for Dr. Burghelea street.
On arriving on the street look on the left side for a green sign outside the door saying greentea.
It is a good idea to make a reservation in time (a few days before), as it is usually full and you will not find a place.
