Eat at a secret restaurant
On one side of the little square found at the end of Calea Dorobanți, Scientists’ House is an architectural jewel and one of Bucharest’s secret locations. A Neo-classical palace, it features many salons decorated with gilded ceilings and stained glass and features a back garden that can be reached via a monumental staircase. The structure is the former residence of one of Bucharest’s richest and most famous inhabitants, and it’s now the property of the Romanian Academy. Astonishingly, very few locals know that this majestic palace is also a restaurant, so step in confidently, as you might have the place all to yourself.
