  The Blues Cafe, Macca - Villacrosse Passage
by Romanian_Bat
 
 

This is a strange (but not unique) and comfortable concept: the covered street. It has got a French look but definitely an Oriental origin, as it used to host many little shops belonging to different merchants. Nowadays a few of them have turned into little bars and cafes, where the tables fill the whole street in summer and autumn. They have an Egyptian Cafe with narghiles, a Blues Cafe with excellent music (I can finally say that about a place in this city!!!), a Chinese Restaurant on the first floor and even a French Bistro (even though I personally do not vote for that one, too sticky a place)... The atmosphere is right, the crowd is generally great, coffee is fresh and not instant, they have a few Romanian beers to choose from, while at the Blues Cafe they also have a good variety of ice-creams.

Dress Code: You are in Bucharest, the Balkans. So, what the hell does "dress code" stand for???

Address: Macca - Villacrosse Passage
Directions: Two entrances to the covered street come from the Calea Victoriei, just across the street from the central police station, while the other one comes from the Western side of the National Bank.
