Seasonal cooking, served with patience.
Maison Verde is a 28-seat restaurant in an old house in the centre of Iași. The menu changes four times a year, following what the nearby growers bring in, and every evening keeps a single pace: the kitchen’s.
Tuesday – Saturday from 6 pm · Sunday lunchDemonstration website: the menu, prices and hours are examples.
The kitchen
Little, local, in its own time.
We cook with what is available now, not with what can be imported at any time. Vegetables come from growers in the county, fish from two mountain trout farms, meat from small farms we visit before they go on the menu.
Every dish has at most four main ingredients. The rest is technique: fermenting, smoking, slow roasting, a sauce reduced for hours. There is no foam where no foam is needed.
The room seats 28 and we serve one seating per evening, so that nobody is hurried. The table is yours until closing time.
- Vegetables, dairy and meat from producers in the county
- A new menu at every change of season
- One seating per evening
- House-made bread, cultured butter and ferments

„We don’t cook to impress. We cook what is good right now, as simply as we can.”
