About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- LAX-HKG0 contributionsA great experience for trying out Romanian winesCame here when I wanted to taste some Romanian wine at last minute. I went on a Saturday so their regular tasting wasn’t available in the evening. It didn’t matter as the owner was super friendly and knowledgeable. He recommended a couple glasses of wine based on my taste profile. He was explaining the wine from various regions of Romania. Food menu was small but served its purpose of pairing with the wines. It was an enjoyable experience. Highly recommended if you enjoy wine. Romanian wines are underrated.Written September 23, 2024
- Amy B0 contributionsPhenomenal Wing TastingSuch an adorable stop on my trip. The sommelier was phenomenal and the wines delicious. The pours were full, and the meat/cheese plate was filling and the entirety of the experience was worth it. I would 100% return on another trip to Bucharest.Written July 14, 2024

Tasting the wine was a trip through România. Each wine tasted superb, with the final red absolutely amazing!! Abel’s is a relaxing place too. Thank you!!Written June 11, 2024
- MadamKay0 contributionsExcellent wine tasting experienceVisited on a quiet Monday afternoon. The host was welcoming, despite us being the only people there. He was knowledgeable and informative. The wines were great (even the rosé!) and the charcuterie board was a nice added touch. In fact, we stayed on for another glass after. Can recommend highly.Written June 4, 2024

- ABQJane0 contributionsEnjoy Romanian Wines in a Great Little Wine BarWe wandered down here one evening during our week stay in Bucharest and ended up going back 2 more times. We tried several wines as well as the cheese platter and the mixed cheese and meat platter. Dario was very good about suggesting what might be a good choice of wine and encouraging us to try some different ones. A very relaxed spot away from the party streets but not too far! Definitely worth a visit or 2 or 3!Written May 7, 2024

The experience was epic. We went in only looking to try the Romania wines and what a selection we had.
I did the progression of white, rosé and back to a white via the recommendation of the owner. My sister did the progression of white, rosé and red.
The grapes in this region are delish, crisp, fruit forward without being sweet. Dry and refreshing. The first smell spoke of the grapes and the taste exploded.
Mark this place down on your list. Definitely a must.
Thank you for an enjoyable evening.
