Located just steps from Piața Amzei, on 11 General Christian Tell Street, La Mița Biciclista is one of Bucharest’s most iconic and imaginative dining spaces. Housed in a beautifully restored Art Nouveau and Neo-Baroque villa, this creative establishment pays homage to Maria Mihăescu, affectionately known as “Mița Biciclista,” a famed socialite and symbol of Bucharest’s Belle Époque.

A historic setting with a contemporary soul

The building, rich in architectural charm, offers two distinct experiences:

  • The Brasserie (Ground Floor) – open daily from 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM, with no reservation required. It offers a bright, casual-chic atmosphere perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a relaxed lunch.
  • The Historic Lounge (First Floor) – an exclusive, elegant salon accessible by reservation only, open Monday to Friday from 6:00 PM to 12:00 AM, and Saturday–Sunday from 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM.

The interior design has won awards for its artistic reinterpretation of 1900s elegance, with velvet curtains, marble accents, and golden lighting that evoke the intimacy of a Parisian boudoir.

French-inspired, inventive cuisine

The menu is a fusion of classic brasserie dishes and modern, creative cooking, focused on seasonal, high-quality ingredients:

  • Starters: Cantaloupe melon with prosciutto crudo and mint liqueur
  • Mains: Scallops in Martini-orange sauce; beef tenderloin with sautéed mushrooms and truffle sauce
  • Vegetarian delights: Leek mosaic wrapped in Nori, served with vegan dumplings and potato foam
  • Desserts: Salted caramel île flottante; raw vegan berry & dark chocolate bar

Dishes are beautifully plated, often with theatrical flair, and reflect a blend of culinary tradition and modern aesthetics.

Cocktail bar & cultural events

On the first floor, the elegant cocktail bar serves signature drinks crafted by skilled mixologists, many inspired by the glamorous life of Mița Biciclista. The venue regularly hosts themed events, tastings, and cultural evenings, offering guests a rich and immersive experience.
