My Romanian Store is a charming market situated on Episcopiei Street in central Bucharest, dedicated to showcasing the best of Romanian food and drink. The shop is compact but packed with a carefully curated selection of artisanal and branded products sourced from across the country. Shelves are lined with jars of zacuscă (a traditional vegetable spread), bottles of țuică (plum brandy), and packages of covrigi (pretzels). A refrigerated section offers a variety of Romanian cheeses, such as telemea and cașcaval, alongside cured meats like salam de Sibiu and pastramă. The store also stocks a range of local wines, beers, and soft drinks. The owner and staff are knowledgeable and passionate, often happy to offer tasting samples or explain the origins of products. For visitors wanting to take a taste of Romania home, this store provides an authentic and convenient shopping experience. Its central location makes it easy to pop in while exploring the city's historic center.
