BOUTIQUE DU PAIN, Bucharest

Was one of the favorite places for lunch before pandemic situation. Came back today eager to eat there again but, unfortunately, I think will be the last time. Menu was changed, not surprisingly since many eating places did it, due to the situation, but here...the change was for worse. At 4pm they only have one cold soup (gazpacho) which was an average, some risotto (recommended by waitress, but not tried), some pasta with calamari, amazingly dissatisfying (pasta not well cooked, not al dente, almost uneatable, lame sauce), some fish, one steak. Apparently they eliminate from menu all that was proven to be best seller before the pandemic situation, for a not understandable reason (a perfect onion soup, few salads, cakes) and replaced with some supposedly more profitable dishes. For some reason I think they will not survive if they will not analyze the situation a.s.a.p and take some actions. First, the chef should be changed, this one did not changed the place for better.More

Not really Eggs Benedict

First of all, I do have to say that the place was nice. I had two servers...one was nice, and the other wasn't. Still, I ordered the Eggs Benedict, and it didn't resemble anything like Eggs Benny. First of all, the eggs weren't poached, but...fried medium well. Second, the sauce they used didn't taste like Hollandaise Sauce whatsoever. Instead it tasted like some kind of mayonnaise. I guess that explains the extreme overkill when it came to the garnish, so that is can hide the fact that it isn't real Eggs Benedict. Extremely disappointing.More

Expensive and bad service

I usually don't spend time writing reviews, but this place was extremely disappointing and expensive. We ordered 2 sandwiches, 1 cafe and 1 camomile tea = 58 Lei The food was bad and the service was really slow and rude. Don't waste your money here...More

Nice place, good food

i go to this place pretty often with friends and tried various dishes (hoummus, tomato soup, asian noodles dish, salmon quiche, cakes..) and found it very tasty. The only thing that cought my attention on my last visit were the horrible 'table cloths' which looked...like peasants' lunch in the fields to say the least. It might be new and modern and all that stuff... but seeing the brown crinkled paper totally put me off. Hope they change it soon. Otherwise i'll just be ordering take aways 😩More

Very poor food and mistreatment

Been there on 19 of june. I was in a hurry and went for a gyros take away. You can see in the pictures how a gyros looks at this "beautiful" place. When I asked them about the food quality and looks they ignored me...on facebook, then, later when they finally responded they said that this is a normal gyros and this is how it should look like. I let you guys be the judges now. If this is their standard then you should think twice before going there.More
