Papila – a soulful bistro in the center of Bucharest

A small, big-hearted bistro in central Bucharest, 5 minutes from Universitate Metro. Seasonal plates, local wines, and a place for good evenings — whether you're just visiting or live around the corner.

We're open for dinner from Monday to Saturday, between 5:00 PM and 12:00 AM, and on Sundays we host the already well-known Ramen Sunday, from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

Our concept is based on bistronomy – a blend of the relaxed atmosphere of a bistro with the culinary creativity inspired by gastronomy.
Chef Andrei Junghietu curates a short, seasonal, and thoughtfully crafted menu: from tuna crudo, confit shrimp, and veal schnitzel, to homemade pasta and nourishing soups.
