The restaurant has also a nice terrace.And a special remark on music: there is a vinyl library with excellent music and customers can choose and play whatever they like, we loved this!The village is also beautiful, keeping some old but renovated houses, so it deserved itself a visit.Highly recommended for a private party or just a stop if travelling around.

The place is hidden in a village, but nonetheless very easy accessible from the main road. The first real surprise is when you enter the door. It's just like you enter in a different world. The design concept is wrapped around the idea of lavender and you actually enter from a Romanian village in a Mediterranean or Southern France environment. The attention to detail is far superior to everything I've seen in any similar place and every little piece of decoration is chosen and placed with perfect taste. 5 star interior without a shadow of doubt.Getting down to the food, the menu is not the size of a drama novel, but very well balanced by all means. I've had their traditional chicken soup with some delicious fluffy white balls and one of the best beef steaks ever. Definitely 5 stars for the food as well.The waiters do not speak quite Her Majesty's English, but they manage pretty well to make themselves understood and, what's even more important, they get everything well. Really impressive for a village in the countryside. That's why I've also thrown 5 stars for this aspect.I've spent in that quiet and relaxing place far more time than initially planned. In a nutshell, if I ever return to Romania I'll go there directly for my first meal.
