Vegan Birthday in Bucharest!! ~ The Villages Museum (Muzeul National al Satului “Dimitrie Gusti”)

Happy April, vegan food lovers and lifestyle enthusiasts!!!

I’m a little late on this post because life just simply got away from me. March was busier than expected but I wanted to share my birthday with you because it was really cool, a truly amazing experience at a museum that was unlike any museum I have ever visited…and believe me when I tell you that I’ve been to a lot of museums in my day.

The Muzeul National al Satului , known in English as The Villages Museum is a huge (approx. 100k square meters) plot of land located in Bucharest and it contains houses, artifacts and monuments from all around Romania ranging from the 17th Century to the 20th Century. The cool thing is that these structures were deconstructed from their original locations and reconstructed inside the museum/park.

Y’all…this place was so cool. There were homes from all over the country so you could see how they lived during a particular time period and climate, what their needs were and most of all, which parts of these older cultures still exist in some form today. I can’t gush enough about this experience so I’ll just share some photos with you!

And of course, you can let 2 vegans loose in Bucharest without hitting up some delicious vegan eats. We ate some great food and then walked it off for a few hours before we took some more food home with us because it was my birthday and the Hubs did all the driving so…no cooking for once!

Oh and we saw so many old school machines like this squeezing press that was used for oil and wine, among other things!

It was a long day filled with sun, history and a surprising amount of cats! If you want to see more, click the socials below to find me on TikTok or Facebook.

    What places did you enjoy the most to eat in Bucharest?

      I really like Vyro Bistro because it has some great traditional Romanian dishes veganized as well as modern things like sushi. Aubergine was nice too but it’s always a little nerve-wracking at places that aren’t totally vegan. Funkink Burgers was great but it no longer exists. Next time we’re there I hope to try new vegan restaurants. Any recommendations?

        Writing an article right now for more locations. Level Up to try some veganised mici (vegan place), Go Veggie Băcănie & Bistro Vegan (their vegan sushi looked really good, and the vegan sarmale). Namaste as an Indian place does an amazing job. But Indian food you can find in quite a few othee countries :)))

        I haven’t heard of some of those places, then again I don’t go to Bucharest often. But now I’m curious to check them out. There was a good vegan place we visited in Timisoara recently, which I’ll post about tomorrow. I LOVE Indian food so I’d love to have that next time we’re in the city.
