What are the best cafes in Iasi? 

 

Coffee or tea -  the solutions to all our problems! Wondering where to enjoy a cup of coffee or some hot tea with honey in Iasi? Don’t worry! There are some perfect spots for that. Even though the current restrictions don’t allow us to spend time in these cozy places, we can still buy coffee or other beverages to go. Isn’t that great? So, next time you’d like a quality drink (coffee, tea, hot chocolate) or maybe a delicious cookie, you can choose between Fika (in Piața Unirii), Teo’s Cafe (Piața Unirii, right in front of the tram station), 5to go (in Copou), Tucano Coffee (Stefan cel Mare Boulevard). Surely, there are many more that are worth checking, but you’ll have to explore the city and find out yourself. 

 

Where can I try Romanian traditional food in Iași? 

 

You can find traditional Romanian food at a lot of restaurants in Iasi but only a few specialize in romanian cuisine that will give you a genuine traditional experience. You should definitely stop by Casa Bolta Rece as it is not only a great restaurant, but also a piece of Iasi’s history. It is a landmark mainly because two of Romania’s most renowned writers used to dine in this exact location- Mihai Eminescu and Ion Creanga. Apart from this special place, we recommend Cârciuma Veche and La Conac. You should try “sarmale” with polenta and “papanași” in any of these traditional restaurants!
