Vegan is a relatively new trend in Romania. Five years ago, finding vegan in Bucharest was a challenge. Today, howver, there are many vegan restaurants catering to adepts of a plant-based diet. Vegan travelers can now enjoy the Romanian capital without the frustration of not finding the appropriate venue to enjoy a healthy, cruelty-free meal.
When, for any reason, you cannot find a vegan restaurant or a restaurant with a vegan menu, mentioning “de post” to your waiter before you sit at the table will take you a long way.
