Taste of Iasi: Heritage Walk & Moldavian Feast｜Romania

Begin your journey at the "Cavalryman in Attack" monument on the leafy Copou Hill. Kick off the morning with a visit to a local favorite, Cuptorul Moldovencei, where you’ll taste the famous "plăcintă moldovenească" (traditional pie) paired with a refreshing glass of natural local fruit juice.

Walk through the oldest public park in Romania to see the legendary Eminescu’s Linden Tree. Step inside the University of Iasi to admire the mesmerizing Hall of the Lost Footsteps, home to 19 majestic murals by Sabin Bălașa. As you stroll down Carol I Boulevard, discover the architectural grandeur of the Central University Library and the historic Unification Square, featuring the hotel designed by Gustave Eiffel.

Experience Iasi from a different perspective as you ascend to the Panoramic Restaurant. Here, while enjoying a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city, savor a classic Moldavian comfort dish: traditional chicken soup with handmade dumplings (supă de pui cu găluște).

After passing by the House of Museums and the "Gate of Hope," reach your final destination: the legendary Bolta Rece. This historic restaurant was once the meeting place for Romania’s greatest literary figures.

A cold platter of artisanal local delicacies.
A traditional main course featuring the heart of Moldavian cuisine.
A local dessert to end on a sweet note.
All accompanied by a premium glass of Moldavian wine (White, Rose, or Red) selected to perfectly match your meal.
