L’Atelier
Romania
L'Atelier places Romanian ingredients at the centre of a contemporary restaurant within Bucharest's Epoque Hotel. Close to Cișmigiu Park, it offers a quieter city-centre setting for a meal built around the country's produce. Chef Flaviu Mureșan works directly with Romanian producers, farmers and fishermen. This emphasis on provenance gives the cooking a geographical foundation, while the preparation allows familiar ingredients and traditions to appear in a more individual form. The restaurant also offers hands-on cooking experiences covering themes such as seafood, Romanian culinary heritage and plant-based dishes. These extend the visit beyond the finished plate for guests who want a more practical introduction to the kitchen's approach. A meal at L'Atelier can form the centre of an evening in Bucharest or become part of a longer stay at Epoque. Its most distinctive quality is the relationship with Romanian suppliers, making it relevant to travellers who want to encounter the country's food through a contemporary chef's perspective.
