La Copac is an urban tavern with a village soul, tucked away on Pitar Moș Street in the center of Bucharest. Far from being a flashy spot, it offers an authentic, laid-back atmosphere, where sturdy wooden tables, jars hanging from the ceiling, and colanders turned into lamps create a space full of charm and character. 

The menu is a love letter to Romanian home cooking, featuring comforting dishes like tripe soup, slow-cooked meats, and traditional desserts like papanași with sour cream and jam. A defining feature is the old tree at the center of the terrace, providing shade and a sense of natural escape in the middle of the city. Evenings often bring subtle live music, enhancing the experience without overwhelming it. La Copac isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place where you feel at home, whether you’re a local or a visitor. It’s a space where tradition meets the present, unpretentious yet full of warmth and sincerity.
