About Zexe Zahana

Zexe is the place to taste the dishes of old Romanian households: rich soups, stews, stuffed vegetables and slow-cooked meats from the recipes of Wallachia and Moldavia. The cooking is generous and home-style, and the room in the leafy north of the city is comfortable and unhurried.
