Thank you for choosing to have dinner with us.
PAPILA is a small, big-hearted bistro, a gastronomical point of reference, displaying a hospitable living room with friendly-casual hosts and a kitchen brigade run by artist-chef Andrei Junghietu

The dinner menu structure is made out of formulas that allow a broad experimentation of the dishes and a deeper appreciation of what we stand for. Almost every element of this menu is entirely made from scratch by a gastronomically-obsessed team.
