Been coming here for a while now, and the coconut milk cappuccino still gets me every time. Most places mess up plant-based milk, but this one&rsquo;s always on point. Interior&rsquo;s cozy, so I usually grab a seat by the window when I can. Just wish they&rsquo;d open a bit earlier on weekdays.

Nice terrace and the staff knew what they were doing. Food looked great on the plate but the taste didn&#39;t really match the price. Fresh stuff, just missing something.

Decent little spot with a pink interior that&rsquo;s quite cute. Had the sour cherry choux, pretty good. Price is a bit high, but the ingredients seem to justify it.

The tuna pizza was seriously good, and the white wine pairing worked so well. Loved the vibe in the garden too, super chill for hanging out with friends. Music was on point 🍕

Stopped by for a glass of their Romanian red and ended up staying longer than planned. The staff actually knows their wine, not just reading off a list. Cozy vibe, low lighting, easy to talk. Tasting event looked fun but I didn&#39;t join. Maybe next time. Prices are fair for what you get.

Food came out fast and the mozzarella sticks were properly cheesy, which I appreciated. Place itself felt a bit cramped though, not much room between tables. Fine for a quick bite.

The crepes are soft and there&#39;s plenty of topping options. Price is a bit higher than expected though.

The wall projections were such a nice touch. I sat near the back and could still see them clearly. Lighting was dim but not too dark to read the menu. I had the grilled salmon with greens. Fish was fresh, flaky. The vegetables still had a bit of crunch. Maybe a little pricey for the portion, but I left satisfied. Nice spot for a quiet dinner.

The owner actually went out to grab fresh avocado for my breakfast &mdash; that was really nice of him. Coffee was solid too.

Decent pizza spot. The Mortadella one was pretty good, that semolina crust makes a difference. New location in the city center is more comfortable than the old one. We sat by the window, it was fine for a quick lunch. Maybe a bit pricey for what you get, but I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area.

Big portions, that&#39;s for sure. The tzatziki and garlic sauce were fresh, really good. Tasted pretty authentic to me. Only thing is, service gets a bit slow when they&#39;re packed. We waited a while for the main dishes, but the food made up for it. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The cocktails were properly balanced, you could actually taste each ingredient. Nice spot if you&#39;re into that kind of vibe. 🍸

The V60 with Ethiopian beans was pretty good&mdash;floral, a bit complex. Staff clearly know what they&#39;re doing with coffee. Only small letdown was the cup it came in, felt a bit thin for such a nice brew. But the coffee itself? Decent enough that I&#39;d come back.

Stopped by the hotel restaurant for dinner. Had the Toskana soup, pretty solid choice. Place is nicely decorated, cozy vibe. Prices are fair for what you get. Service was fine, nothing crazy. Maybe a bit quiet for my taste, but okay for a chill evening.

The affogato was the real deal &mdash; espresso poured hot over vanilla gelato, just the right bitterness. Staff actually knew what they were talking about when I asked for a recommendation. Sat in the courtyard out front, music was decent, not too loud. Nice little break from the city noise. Wish the gelato portion was a bit bigger though.

Stopped by twice while in Bucharest. That says enough. Marius handled everything well, quick and no fuss. Food came out fast both times. Place is easy to find, not too loud. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and want a decent meal without overthinking it.

The salmon tartare was the star&mdash;fresh, well-seasoned, solid portion. Cocktails were good too, bartender clearly knows what they&#39;re doing. Tiramisu finished it off nicely. Service lagged a bit, but the food carried it.

Solid burger and decent coffee - they roast their own beans, which is a nice touch. Staff were friendly enough. Place gets a bit busy around lunch but it&#39;s fine for a quick bite.

The pasta and risotto were really fresh, especially the truffle one. Ingredients tasted properly sourced, not the usual frozen stuff. It&#39;s a bit pricey, but you can tell where the money goes. I&#39;d come back just for that risotto again.

Came here for a birthday thing and honestly left pretty impressed. The saffron &amp; lobster risotto was the star &mdash; so creamy, full of flavor. Also tried the chocolate ravioli, which sounded weird but actually worked. Eduard took care of us the whole night, super friendly without being too much. Cocktails were solid too. Maybe a bit pricey, but fine for a special night out with friends.

Came here for a birthday dinner and honestly the sea bass was the star. Staff let us chill and chat without hovering, which I appreciated. Terrace is pretty too. Just wish the cheesecake was a bit bigger 😅

Food was solid, flavors came through nicely. Packaging looked good too, they clearly put some thought into it. Prices are on the higher side though. I didn&#39;t mind paying since the quality was there, but it&#39;s not a place I&#39;d hit up every week. Fine for a treat when you want something a bit nicer.

The sarmale here are the real deal &mdash; tender, smoky, just the right amount of sour. Parking&rsquo;s a pain, so skip the car and grab a taxi.

Beef was genuinely great, even by US or Argentina standards. Kitchen open till 00:30 is a win for late eaters.

The courtyard here is what got me&mdash;open glass roof, plants everywhere, rock music playing low. Felt like hanging out at a friend&rsquo;s place, not a restaurant. Mixed crowd of locals and tourists, which I liked. Even in cooler weather the terrace stays comfy. I&rsquo;d come back just for that vibe honestly.
