Radisson Blu Bucharest Brunch

Desserts For those of you that have been with us at Bucharest Expat for a while now, you are probably very familiar with the fact that we at Bucharest Expat LOVE the Radisson Blu on Calea Victorie. From the New Year’s eve events that the Radisson has had, to the most recent event for Oktoberfest we’ve been “wowed” by the show that we received. This past Sunday was no exception. The Sunday Brunch, as a follow-up to the Oktoberfest event, seemed, from the point of view of an expat, to go off “without a hitch”. The atmosphere at the Brunch was excellent, being held in what appeared to be the largest of the restaurant venues on the ground level, The Dacia Felix restaurant not only features a large dining area, but also a massive adjacent terrace (host to the “children’s area” for this particular event) with a spectacular view of the outdoor pool area.

Aside from the top notch surroundings, the true focal point of this event was the fine cuisine prepared by Executive Chef Berndt Kirsch (yes we had to ask, he is the head of all-things food inside the Radisson) who is quite possibly the greatest chef I am aware of in this area. Once we at Bucharest Expat walked into the dining area, we were greeted by one of the most amazing buffet displays this side of any five-star event. We’ve spent our time in many luxurious “resorts” around the World; each and every one of them trying to put their best foot forward, and truth be told, this spread blew them all out of the water. Let’s go down the list of what was available at our fingertips:

Starting from the “beginning” (does a display such as this really have a beginning or an end? Do kids open their gifts one by one on Christmas morning?) of the buffet was the meat station. Positioned center stage adjacent to the mouth watering pig knuckles (a first for me) were the most delicious bratwurst (forgive me if I don’t know my sausages) I’ve ever tasted. My guess? This meat station would lure in even the most closed-minded of vegetarians. So my first “plate” consisted of nothing more than the greatest meats I’ve ever had piled high atop a bed of perfectly done sauerkraut. More please. As one turns around in a complete circle (imagine a kid in a candy shop) you’ll be presented with the seafood station, complete with smoked salmon, halved lobster, a shrimp tower and even a raw oyster display! Not your average buffet is it? Not in the mood for seafood? How about the Asian station where you’ll be privy to some on the spot stir fry or some out-of-this-world duck pancakes? Add another plate for me please!

Once seated, we were able to relax in comfort, with some of the best food we’d EVER had, and the sounds of a live jazz band in the background. With multiple trips to the buffet in between “relaxation” breaks, we could complete our experience with a grand finale from the large dessert area, up to and including the Chocolate fountain, reminiscent of the wonderful dining experiences we’ve had at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. This truly was five-star all the way. Great staff, impeccable attention to detail, the finest presentation (the pate was sliced, garnished and served for you) and a near perfect ambiance close the case that Bucharest Expat loves the Radisson Blu Bucharest and everything it has to offer. The best part? The coconut chicken soup. The worst part? Not having enough room in our stomach. If you have yet to enjoy the greatest cuisine in Bucharest, make it a point to drop what you are doing, and go say hello to Berndt and his wonderful creations. You won’t be disappointed. In the meantime, keep an eye out for our upcoming articles involving the Radisson, its Executive Chef, and upcoming events!

I was sorry to have missed brunch with you guys on Sunday. I’m now even sorrier having read the review. Is the brunch every Sunday and what is the charge per person??

Not sure on the Brunch being every Sunday, it seemed like it was a special event but will definitely double check and post it here… in the meantime all of the restaurants feature dishes prepared by the Exec. Chef, each restaurant just has a different theme. New Year’s was the same tpe of pre-planned event, and as I recall the bookings filled up really really fast the past years, so also waiting for the release of the tickets (hopefully very soon)

The buffet is every Sunday through winter, its a new style for this winter, with the Kindergarden etc..We are going this Sunday.

This reminds me of the time (as an unknowing child) my Grandpa took me to an elaborate buffet with dim lighting. I piled a bowl with blackberries and took a bite, quick to tell everyone how awful they were. Turns out it was caviar!
John

This is one of the nicest things I’ve ever seen. I love going to buffets and fancy restaurants, although the money has been tight for a while now. I would love to check this place out some time.
Babs

This place looks absolutely wonderful. The food looks so great I can almost smell it now. I can’t wait to make my trip now. Looking forward to this experience.

I’m so jealous that you got to go to such an amazing place. I’ve only eaten at a buffet like this once in my life and I’ll never forget!
Shinekua

Just looking at this makes me so hungry. I don’t even want to know what it costs to get in a place like that! You are so lucky
micky

I know. I am looking at the pictures and I am drooling wishing I was there. I keep reading about how good it is but I really need to go and give it a try for myself!
nibbler

Times sure change. Can you imagine finding a buffet now that served bowls full of caviar? I hope your Grandpa ate your caviar and it did not go to waste.

I was just there a few days ago and I am still feeling great. I do not know if it is the food or the ambiance but that place makes me feel like I am high on life.
jesse

I do not think I have ever hand an official brunch but this place looks fantastic. I will probably eat there this week and I will let you know what I think!
Johnny

It would be really awesome to hear what you think, too. I’ve never been to an official one either, but I’m sure they are fantastic. This place looks expensive but I’m sure it’s well worth the money!
Jenny

What I like so much about this place is the fact that they have live music. I would love to visit sometime. I’m going to make it a goal.. within the next 2 years, I have to come up with enough money to visit! Sounds like a plan to me. Then, I’ll make sure to come back here and tell all of you how it went

I love buffets! It’s nice to eat food I don’t usually have the chance to try. I never seem to have enough space for dessert but the chocolate fountain does sound great.
candice

I love buffets especially in classy restaurants with the finest chefs. Looking at the pictures and reading your article makes me feel hungry. I’d have no less than three platefulls if I were with you.
Marianne

The buffet sounds wonderful – every Sunday throughout the winter ? Now that has to be on my agenda – even in I am a “close-minded vegetarian” !
PeteS

I feel the same. I tend to pile my plate (sometimes two) on the first go round. That way I get to eat everything I want to in the first flush of hunger. Desserts I’m not so bothered about as I can buy those elsewhere at any time.

180 ron, 40 euro, kida a lot less and free bleow a certain age..
not cheap, but there is a lot to get for it, especially the kindergarten and the food (lots!!)service, music, free sparkling champagne etc….etc…
moongirl

That seafood station, the dessert and live music sounds just like the thing I need every Sunday for variety to shock my digestive system and to relax my brain cells.
Francie

The problem with buffets is that I always eat too much – but that’s the sort of problem I can cope with. The coconut and chicken soup caught my imagination, I might just have to find a recipe as I can’t attend the buffet.
