Bucharest is full of cafes and dessert shops–so many, in fact, that choice can be overwhelming. Lucky for you (and for us), we tried some of the highest-rated restaurants, with the goal of finding sweets that were both delicious and Instagram-worthy. Here are our top five.

1. Maison Des Crêpes

Maison des Crêpes is every pancake lover’s dream. Apart from its signature pancakes, the shop also offers waffles, crepes and cakes, as well as savory crepes, noodles, and salads. Additionally, the white and minimalist aesthetic of the restaurant creates the perfect atmosphere for taking pictures. 

Address: Strada Emanoil Porumbaru 81

Houea: Monday-Sunday, 10am-10pm

Price Range: 20-35 RON

2. French Revolution

French Revolution is well-known for its unique and diverse eclairs. Not only are these desserts soft, fresh and flavourful, but they are also colorful and visually appealing. Some of the most popular eclairs are salted caramel, pistachio and milk chocolate.

Address: Strada Constantin Esarcu nr.1

Program: Monday-Sunday, 10am-9pm

3. NOR Sky Casual Restaurant

Unlike the previous two locations, Nor doesn’t only offer desserts. The restaurant serves a wide range of fusion food, accompanied by an amazing view of the city. When you’re done with the main course, try the most popular dessert, “One Cloud Above the Chocolate Nest” (top left picture above), which consists of three types of chocolate and a cloud of cotton candy on top.

4. Cremeria Emilia

Many people consider Cremeria Emilia as the best ice cream shop in Bucharest. Their ice-creams come in diverse flavors, including cheesecake, strawberry, biscuit, and panna cotta. You can also get your scoop(s) in a chocolate-covered cone with sprinkles.

5. Mara Mura

Mara Mura serves mostly cakes and tarts with much-loved ingredients such as Snickers, toasted marshmallow and lemon. Try the sparkling strawberry lemonade to pair with your creamy desserts. You can take pictures inside the dollhouse-themed bakery, or sit on the flowery terrace outside.
