3 Best Restaurants in Giurgiu, Romania

It's worth the 45 minute drive to the commune of Comana to eat at this restaurant in Comana Natural Park. The restaurant is divided in two—one section serving traditional Romanian fare, and the other specializing in Greek cuisine—and most of the herbs and some of the vegetables come from its own garden. You'll taste them in dishes like rooster soup, grilled squid filled with cheese, and a photogenic mezze platter that includes feta, olives, tzatziki, stuffed tomatoes, and a basket of fragrant, pillowy flatbreads.

The homey-rustic interior here complements the restaurant's toothsome pizzas and fresh dishes like grilled sardines, vegetable skewers, and Tagliatelle with tomatoes and basil. Sit outside on the patio and toast to your vacation with a crisp glass of Rose Frizzante and a thick slice of tiramisu.

It's not Mykonos, but in this small Romanian town, the whitewashed covered terrace with blue accents is a nice slice of Mediterranean life. The menu really caters to all tastes, with lots of seafood like crispy fried anchovies and grilled sardines, pizza, pasta, toothsome mezze like fresh feta, tzatziki, and briney olives, and, of course, salads. For dessert, don't miss portokalopita, a tangy, crunchy cake made of phyllo dough, Greek yogurt, oranges, and olive oil.
