Macca-Vilacrosse Passage

6 reviews of Macca-Vilacrosse Passage

The passage has mainly restaurants

Going down Carada street, parallel to Calea Victoriei, then up to the National History Museum of Romania, we found on the right a bohemian passage, like the ancient covered passages of traders of Paris in the Belle Epoque. Several streets have been covered by a large glass roof, allowing the small shops and restaurants to have a terrace in all seasons, or to leave their goods out. Built in 1891 the passage has a strong French influence, there is even a "bistro", nothing but national dishes are served though, from goulash to bean soups. Today the passage has mainly restaurants, there is a curious Moroccan style restaurant with water pipes and large comfy seats outside that students frequent, another serves Romanian food with transalpine chalet decor, and a third more neutral looks really old, and has a fine selection of products.

It's a shame that artisan shops and antique book stores have been replaced by soulless shops offering souvenirs to tourists.

Vilacrosse Passage

Passage Vilacrosse

Le passage Vilacrosse est un passage historique en plein cœur de la capitale roumaine. Son entrée principale se situe juste en face du Palais de la Banque Nationale de Roumanie. A l’intérieur, si les rabatteurs peuvent être un peu pressants, il fait bon néanmoins apprécier l’architecture des lieux. La plupart des établissements proposent ici de fumer la chicha pour ceux qui aiment.

Carada down the street, a side street...

En descendant la rue Carada, une rue...

En descendant la rue Carada, une rue parallèle a la rue Victoriei a la hauteur du musée d´histoire national de la Roumanie, on trouve sur notre droite un passage bohème, comme les anciens passages couverts parisiens de la belle époque. Sous une grande verrière, plusieurs rues ont été couvertes, permettant aux petites boutiques et restaurants qui s´y sont installés, d´avoir une terrasse en toutes circonstances, ou de laisser leur étalage dehors. Construit en 1891, le passage a une forte influence française, il y a même un restaurant qui se veut « bistrot », mais ne sert que des plats nationaux, du goulash et autres soupes de haricots. Aujourd´hui, ce sont surtout des restaurants, un curieux endroit de style marocain, avec des pipes a eau et des gros poufs installés dehors est fréquentés par les étudiants du quartier, un autre offre de la nourriture roumaine dans un décors de chalet transalpin, un troisième est plus neutre et semble vraiment ancien, avec une sélection de produits fins. Et malheureusement les magasins de beaux livres et les tapissiers ont depuis longtemps été remplacés par des magasins sans âme, qui proposent de vagues souvenirs touristiques et des cartes postales.

And unfortunately the shops of fine books and upholsterers have long since been replaced by soulless stores that offer vague memories and tourist postcards.
