The menu is very similar in any, but this branch makes a welcome change in the nearby Cotroceni Mall and (at the Covid 19 Aftermath) has many outdoor seating, much...of it not on the pavement. The vast majority of dishes are by default ubiquitous Romanian and are fair to good examples of such, although with moderate to small portions ciorba, mămăliga, meat dishes, sausages all in an illustrated menu, which is a good idea what you are for. The stars are probably the Placinate itself, Moldova cakes with a passing similarity to filo pastry cakes from Greece etc. Beverages cover the range of non-alcoholic, but without something outstanding or from the usual. Prices are not cheap, but you can get a main dish and a drink for €10. I would not recommend this as a food “event”, but a reliable place to get an edible meal in a pleasant place. Service was okay, but also not excellent

We had cabbage rolls, polnta, grilled spits, a salad and Romanian wine. Hit the place for the evening. Is it... the best in town? Probably not, but it was easy to find, comfortable and perfect for two jet lagged tourists.

Would not call it very cheap abut anyway is not expensive. Good place for a lunch, but quite crowdy, so would not recommend as a place to chat. read more Would not call it very cheap abut anyway is not expensive. Good place for a lunch, but quite crowdy, so would not recommend as a place to chat.
