McDonald’s Unirea is one of the most well-known and heavily visited McDonald’s spots in Bucharest—an urban landmark, just steps away from the metro, buses, and the daily chaos of Piața Unirii. It’s the kind of place you don’t need directions for—everyone knows where it is. It’s always busy, always buzzing, but somehow it runs smoothly, with fast-moving staff and digital kiosks that actually help. 

The menu is what you'd expect, but there are a few vegetarian choices that come in handy in such a central location. The seating area is big but rarely empty—this is a go-to stop for students, office workers, tourists, or just people passing through. You don’t come here for peace and quiet—you come because you know exactly what you’ll get: fast, familiar, no drama. A McDonald’s that doesn’t try too hard—and that’s exactly why it works.
