Customer Reviews
First of all, i arrived by myself on a quiet hour for dinner and had one of the best welcomes at a restaurant. The gentleman working there was excellent. Then because the traditional menu had no translation, I asked for a recommendation and was not even let to finish the sentence. In less than 10 minutes a juicy lettuce salad and an equally juicy plate of veal filets with gravy and oven potatoes was on the table. Needless to say how tasty it was. Also, I never thought that a Beck's beer would ever taste so good. Maybe that was because of the round ceramic jug that also kept it cool. Anyway there had to be a desert and that was also gracefully recommended. It was two pieces of an apple pie and a pear pie if I'm not mistaken, equally light and fresh that went so well with the last sips of the beer. There was no need for coffee. From the decoration of the restaurant you can understand that you are into one of those magical places, you understand this as soon as you get there. It is a classic place, remains totally present outside of time. But it also challenges your mind, makes it contemplate about history, and takes the imagination far.
It is a legendary venue! Atmosphere is unbelievable. Vintage furniture and decor itself is making this place beautiful. I’ve got a platter of cottage cheese and it was really delicious. You will see the full set up on a table like in fine dining restaurant, but service is not about it. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 only cause there is no lock and a paper in a washroom. Live band of gentlemen of respectful age is amazing
Serves typical 3 course Romanian food which was nice but not to everyone’s taste. The band were good & energetic but too loud at times. The flamboyant owner made an appearance & duly posed for a photo call.
This place is almost hidden in the back streets, and doesn't look like much from the outside. Inside, however, it's an amazing space, filled not only with dining tables and chairs, but also local bric-a-brac and pictures. The middle area is reserved as a dance floor as, the night we were there at least, there was a small local band playing throughout. Diners are (very much) encouraged to get up and dance. The food was good and served with a real theatrical flourish. Drinks are expensive. It's not just dinner, more of an evening's entertainment.
