Akos
the retractable glass greenhouse terrace
Modern Mediterranean restaurant with a friendly team and a relaxed pace. Clear flavors, a few good vegetarian choices, and a simple wine list. Best after 8pm; book on weekends.
In Herăstrău, Bucharest. Easy to fold into a morning or a longer afternoon; there's usually something else worth a stop within a few minutes' walk.
Akos is a Mediterranean (predominantly Italian) fine-dining restaurant near Herăstrău Park in Bucharest, rated ~4.7–4.9 across Tripadvisor and Restocracy. Reviews highlight high-quality, product-focused cooking: foie gras, beef entrecôte/tenderloin, beef tartare, truffle pasta and risotto, salt-baked sea bass, and praised desserts (apple tart, tiramisu). The space is elegant with a notable retractable glass greenhouse terrace; service is warm but the setting reads more upscale/high-class than the curator's 'relaxed pace' note, and a few reviewers found prices high and live music occasionally too loud. Vegetarian options exist (truffle risotto, pasta), corroborating the curator's note of a few good vegetarian choices. Reservations are advised, particularly on weekends.
