Lacrimi și Sfinți
Romanian, reimagined
About Lacrimi și Sfinți
Lacrimi și Sfinți, “Tears and Saints”, was one of the first Bucharest restaurants to cook Romanian food with real care for its ingredients, bringing produce from small farms to dishes that Romanians grew up with. The room is warm and rustic, in reclaimed wood with folk details, and the menu changes with the seasons. Try the slow-cooked meats, the cheeses and the Romanian wines.
