1930's Delight in Bucharest

Going out for dinner in Bucharest (Bucuresti), the capital of Romania, can turn into a fantastic journey into the history of the city if you stop by at the "Locanta Jaristea" (http://www.jaristea.ro/), situated quite close to the center of the city.
Although you might feel a bit overwhelmed at the beggining by the multitude of art covering the restaurant's walls and tables, the atmosphere is electric, the food is mouth-watering and the show (yes, there is a show) will transport you back to the 1930's Little Paris.
The big downside is that smoking is allowed all over the restaurant, although that might change in the near future, but that also reminds of ancient interwar times when smoking was cool.

Anyway, if you are in Bucharest, this is a place not to be missed in order to travel into the deeps of local gastronomy, art and entertainment.
