About the place
The city's best-known fish address, and the correction worth making first: it is not near Romanescu Park. A great many listings imply otherwise. It is inside the Electroputere Parc centre on Calea București, about 3 km east of the centre — worth the trip, but a trip rather than a walk.
Fish is the reason to come, and the reason it is worth a detour in this particular city: Oltenia reaches the Danube, which means carp, catfish and crucian appear on menus here in a way they do not in Transylvania. If you want the regional version of a fish meal rather than the restaurant version, that is saramură de pește — fish grilled hard and then held in a hot brine with garlic and hot pepper, eaten with polenta — and the place for it is the river itself at Calafat or Bechet. What to eat in Oltenia sets out the whole regional picture, including the dish whose name is a trap.
For a fish dinner in Craiova without leaving the city, this is the answer. For everything else, the central cluster on Strada Olteț and Madona Dudu is twenty-five minutes closer — see where to eat.
