Bavette Italian Steakhouse

Quite possibly the best steak experience in Bucharest. The restaurant is separate from the Hotel and as you come in you get to understand why you're in for a treat as they have matured cuts of meat directly exposed. They serve romanian, creekstone (US) and wagyu a5 steaks. Prices are indeed a bit steep but definitely 100% worth it! We went for romanian steaks, medium temperature, with truffle mash potatoes and asparagus.
We went for funghi sauces which were absolutely delicious. Steaks are quite big (500g each, depending on the cut).
You can go all the way up to a 1700g Tomahawk (for 2 or 3 people).
I think they also have a 200-300g cut (NY strip type). Waiting time to get our steaks wasn't too long. We went for dessert also, we got the dark chocolate with crème brulé inside and a pistachio cake. Needless to say that these were absolutely sublime. Now about the staff, we were welcomed by the manager, Traian who made us feel welcome and helped us with the many cuts of meat and wine selection. We also met Ionut (Johnny) who helped us in picking the right desserts and spoke to us about the place's evolution (as it is a newly opened restaurant, less than a year). Thank you both, Traian and Ionut! Will attach some pictures below however these really do not make enough justice to this place's dining experience.

The Romanian port-house steak was amazing, the halloumi salad and burrata were fine

Nice and cozy place inside Union Plaza Hotel.
The food was amazing, and the team is super profi paying attention to every single detail.
