Bambi Gourmet · Puerto de la Cruz
Romanian Food in Puerto de la Cruz
Bambi Gourmet is the only restaurant in Puerto de la Cruz where you can enjoy authentic Romanian food prepared by a chef born and trained in Romania. Rodica Gurau brings to Tenerife the flavours of her homeland, masterfully adapted to local Canarian ingredients.
Romanian cuisine: a rich and little-known tradition
Romanian gastronomy is one of Europe's great unknowns. Rich in flavours, techniques and regional traditions, Romanian cuisine combines influences from Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, Greek and Slavic cooking, creating a unique and surprising culinary identity.
At Bambi Gourmet, Rodica Gurau has selected the best recipes from her family tradition and masterfully adapted them to the ingredients available in Tenerife.
Romanian specialties on the menu
Bambi Gourmet's menu includes several Romanian-inspired specialties that are unique in northern Tenerife. The bonito goulash is perhaps the most emblematic dish: it takes the structure of Hungarian-Romanian goulash and reinterprets it with bonito, one of the most prized fish in Canarian waters.
A history of authenticity
Rodica Gurau arrived in Tenerife in 2002 with her family recipes and passion for cooking. Since then, she has built a restaurant that is, in essence, an ambassador of Romanian gastronomic culture in the Canary Islands.
