NOEME Storytelling Through Food​
​
​
At NOEME, every dish tells a story.
We use food as a canvas to evoke emotions, memories, and experiences, creating a dining journey
that's as unique as it is engaging.​
​
Curiosity drives us—always asking "what if?" and "why not?"
​
This adventurous spirit allows us to experiment with flavors, ingredients, and techniques,
offering our guests a constantly evolving culinary experience.​​​​​​​
​
Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to share a narrative, whether it’s the tale of an ingredient or
a cherished memory. Imagine a dessert inspired by childhood summers spent picking strawberries—featuring strawberry sorbet, consommé, and ingredients that capture the essence of those warm,
carefree days.​
​
At NOEME, we push the boundaries of culinary exploration, inviting you to discover something new with each visit. Our menu evolves seasonally, ensuring that each meal feels fresh and exciting.​
Food, to us, is more than nourishment—it’s a way to connect.
Dining at NOEME is a shared experience, one that fosters community and belonging as guests bond over the flavors and stories woven into each meal.​
We invite you to become part of our story, and let us be part of yours.

Interior design is a labor of love for us three sisters. We infused every detail with a blend of classical and contemporary styles, along with cherished antique pieces. A standout feature is the three large oak wood panels sculpted by our parents, each representing one of us, adding a personal touch to the space.
The restaurant features a mix of contemporary paintings by a renowned family friend from Piatra NeamÈ› and classic works by famous Romanian artists. Even the plates and cups are unique, as they were specially commissioned from local ceramic artists, enhancing your dining experience.
When we set out to create NOEME, we knew we wanted more than just a beautiful space—we wanted a place that felt like home, with a blend of elegance and warmth.
