Wonder where to find a traditional restaurant in Bucharest? The answer is at the traditional village museum.
We visited the Village Museum in Bucharest, last time, in October 2019. We usually visit this place during spring or autumn, but it happened to go there also in winter and summer and have something to eat or a drink at the only restaurant inside. There is always something special about this place no matter the season for it is connected to Herastrau Park, nowadays called King Mihai Park. From the restaurant, which is called ,,La Bariera” which means At the check-point, or At the border, you have an excellent view.

Description: You will surely need something to eat after visiting so many old houses from all the Romanian territory or you can stay at the La Bariera restaurant to have a beer or a coffee
As always, we enjoy walking on the alleys of the museum, one of the most interesting open ones in Europe, take pictures and, always, but always find something we missed in our latest visit. There are houses brought here from all over Romania and from Middle-Age to recent times.
You can see how people at the country managed their lives and this is spectacular, amazing. Then, a cup of coffee or a beer is always welcome. You might see people smoking, but you should know that smoking is forbidden even at the restaurant in Village Museum Bucharest. I don’t like that, but this is the rule for almost all the houses in the museum are made of wood and they might be in danger if a fire starts. And here we find the restaurant in Village Museum Bucharest.

Description: One of our favorites dishes in Village Museum restaurant La Bariera is the Cabbage rolls with polenta though every other dishes are tasty and not quite expensive
If you are not familiar with the Romanian traditional food, we can tell you that, for example, my wife had a sheep pastry with polenta, which was and still is, a common dish in Romania at the country but not only. It was very good. This dish, Sheep pastry with polenta she tried at the restaurant inside the Village Museum Bucharest was 35 RON, but you can also try the pork pastry which is 30 RON. Anyway, they both goes with a glass of wine. This is for you to know, for this dish can easily be found in Bucharest, not to mention the other cities or regions in Romania.

Description: There are also kind of exotic dishes in Village Museum restaurant La Bariera like the Mountain Chicken plate with fried potatoes and salad and this is what we last ate here
What we like best at this restaurant is that you can order you beer directly from the bar and not to wait for waiter. This doesn’t mean the waiters are not ok. For example I ordered Mountain Chicken with fried potatoes and Romanian salad. You can’t find something like this everywhere in Bucharest, but in the Village Museum restaurant. It took about half and hour for us to eat and meanwhile, me and my wife
talked again about the VILLAGE MUSEUM and about our plans to visit more about Bucharest. And, also, you can see a beautiful map of the village around. This is peace. I think this is the secret of this museum and of this restaurant.
