La Mama
Bucharest, Romania
The read// why locals go
La Mama is the Bucharest restaurant whose name promises cooking like your mother's, and which, unusually for a place with several branches, mostly delivers. The Strada Episcopiei room sits behind the Athenaeum with a terrace that suits a long lunch, and the menu is the Romanian home repertoire: sour soups, stews, sarmale, plates around 30 lei. Consistency is why it spread across the city and why locals keep using it, since the tripe soup you get on a Tuesday is the one you got last month. Nobody comes here to be surprised. This is where Bucharest goes when it wants familiar Romanian food done properly and does not want to gamble.
