( 031-107 6371; www.vangogh.ro ; Str Smârdan 9; 8.30am-midnight Mon-Fri,
10am- midnight Sat & Sun; ) This well-positioned and lively cafe stands at the entrance
to the Old Town. Very good coffee and other drinks. They also prepare light meals includ-
ing breakfasts (20 lei) and burgers as well as daily luncheon specials. The 1st floor is
nonsmoking.

( 021-312 7019; www.fire.ro ; Str Gabroveni 12; 10am-5am; ) A crowded,
smoky, student -oriented bar and rock club that's much less flash and more relaxed than
some of the other venues around the Old Town.

Grădina Verona
Offline map Google map
( 031-425 1480; Str Pictor Verona 13-15; 9am-1am; ) A garden oasis hidden be-
hind the Cărtureşti bookshop, serving standard-issue but excellent espresso drinks and
some of the wackiest iced-tea infusions ever concocted in Romania, such as peony flower,
mango and lime (it's not bad). One drawback that we try to ignore on our visits: the ser-
vice here is arguably the slowest and most inept in all of Bucharest.
PUB
Cafeneaua Actorilor

( 0721-900 842; www.cafeneauaactorilor.ro ; B-dul Nicolae Bălcescu 2; 9am-3am;
) Located on the ground floor of the National Theatre (the entrance is just behind the
Inter-Continental Hotel), this is an oasis of good drink and good pizza in the middle of the
centre. Drink (and breathe) on the open-air terrace in summer; in winter, the action shifts
to the labyrinthine (and admittedly claustrophobic) rooms inside.
