Experience Details

Taste & Tale blends local flavors, history and legends into a relaxed walk through Bucharest’s Old Town.


Before becoming a licensed guide, I spent nearly a decade as the owner & chef of Beca’s Kitchen, a beloved local bistro in Bucharest. Today, I combine my passion for storytelling, good food, and genuine human connection to create experiences rooted in local culture.


As we walk through the Old Town and nearby historic areas, Bucharest becomes a lens through which the story of an entire country is revealed: from medieval roots and royal ambition to communism and today’s revival.


Freshly baked pastry, lovingly reinterpreted Romanian dishes, and a carefully chosen sweet experience blend naturally with stories of roots, memory, and a new generation of chefs reinventing local flavors while keeping their soul.


Along the way, we discover 15+ iconic landmarks and enjoy 6 tastings across 3 carefully selected food stops.


Come curious, leave inspired.
