Am avut o experiență excelentă la KANE. Meniul de tasting este foarte bine gândit – fiecare preparat are o idee clară, multă creativitate și ingrediente românești puse elegant în valoare, fără artificii inutile. Totul curge natural, de la un fel la altul, și chiar simți povestea din spatele farfuriilor. Am apreciat în mod special felul cu care se deschide masa, „Cornucopia”, iar ce a urmat a fost din ce în ce mai bun.

Pairing-ul de vinuri este spot on: vinuri alese inspirat, care completează perfect mâncarea și duc experiența la un alt nivel. Se simte atenția la detalii și faptul că nimic nu e lăsat la întâmplare.

Per total, Kane e genul de loc unde mergi pentru o experiență, nu doar pentru o masă. Relaxat, rafinat și memorabil. Cred sincer că este cel mai bun restaurant românesc în 2026 și, clar, voi reveni.

Set in a beautiful building, this restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you step inside. The staff are exceptionally kind, always happy to help with explanations and recommendations, and their passion truly shows. We chose the local wine pairing, which introduced us to some genuinely pleasant new discoveries. The food delivers a refined contemporary take on Bucharest and Romanian cuisine, making the experience both authentic and memorable.

Absolut superb: mancarea grozava, iar echipa de nota 100! E a sasea sau a saptea vizita si de fiecare data e la fel de bun!

Mâncarea este corectă, însă nu se ridică la nivelul de excelență pe care locația și-l propune. Din păcate, serviciul a fost sub așteptări, lipsit de coerență și atenție la detalii, ceea ce a afectat experiența per ansamblu.

All in all – poor service. Our waiter was drunk, which ruined our experience at KANE. In addition, we had ordered a wine pairing, which never arrived at the right time or with the correct dishes. It felt as though no one had control over what was going on, which came across as chaotic to us. It is entirely possible that New Year’s Eve is different from a regular evening at KANÉ, but this was truly not good, and we would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Being served the final course around 2 a.m. is also not acceptable. We hope you do better next New Year’s Eve, because this was a very disappointing experience.

That said, the sommelier did an excellent job and was the one who truly saved our evening — thank you for that!

We came for fine dining and got an endurance test. Seated around 8:00–8:15 pm, first dish at 10:00 pm — a full two hours — and only after we chased the staff for updates.

After that, everything dragged: huge gaps between courses, too few waiters, and the main course landing at 00:39. The most surreal part was the attitude: while guests were yawning, scrolling, and wondering if dessert existed , the kitchen team came out to celebrate New Year like a group of friends, making “fireworks” sounds with their mouth and enjoying the moment — which really highlighted how little urgency there was about a dining room in obvious trouble. Yes, it was New Year’s and they apologized multiple times, but being busy doesn’t excuse looking unbothered while service collapses.

And then there were the dish “explanations,” which felt like accidental stand-up comedy. Instead of a clear description, we got lines like “these are oysters… not sure what’s inside,” “it’s weird but it’s my favorite,” or simply “it’s good.” I honestly didn’t know how not to laugh — not because it was charming, but because it was so awkwardly out of place for a restaurant aiming at fine dining.

One star: the only genuinely good part was the wine pairing (thankfully I chose it), and the growing amount of alcohol probably helped us laugh through what was otherwise the worst possible way to “end the year in style” — unless you treat it as comedy.

I’m not the type to leave reviews — I usually avoid them — but this time I genuinely feel obliged to write one for the next guests, especially anyone expecting a high-end experience (even during holidays or special events). We considered letting it go, but at this price point it wouldn’t be fair to stay silent.
