Our philosophy

A good, simple bistro, with produce you can trace back to its source.

We don't do fine dining. We make a warm, honest meal where every plate tastes of something real — and you know where it came from. We cook with what's fresh now, from people we know.

The summer garden with string lights and potted olive trees
The summer garden

Twenty seats
under lights and vine.

In summer we move the table outside. A quiet old-town courtyard with potted olive trees and warm evening light — seasonal, while the weather holds.

Andrei and Ioana Marcu, the founders of Bistro Verde
Who we are

Andrei & Ioana Marcu

We opened Bistro Verde in 2019. Andrei cooks — six years in Austrian kitchens behind him. Ioana runs the floor and the wine. We're a couple and a small bistro; most guests we come to know by name.

The open kitchen — Andrei plating

"We cook the way we'd cook for friends — good produce, no fuss."

Wine bar

Natural Romanian
wines.

A small, hand-picked selection of natural wines from Romanian growers — many you won't find in a supermarket. Ioana will happily guide you, whether it's a glass at lunch or a pairing for the tasting menu.
