The sushi was fresh and the ramen hit the spot. Staff were friendly and didn&#39;t rush us. Comfortable spot for a relaxed meal.

The lunch menu here is a solid deal&mdash;39 lei gets you soup, a side, and a main. Food was decent, nothing crazy, but the papanasi dessert really stood out. Service dragged a bit, and the outdoor seating got smoky, which was a bit annoying. Still, for the price, I&#39;d come back for that dessert alone.

Decent coffee selection, some blends I haven&#39;t seen elsewhere. Tried the Yemeni one, pretty good. Ethiopian was fine too.

The cozonac and apple strudel were really good&mdash;not too sweet, which I liked. The hot chocolate went well with them. Just wish there was a bit more seating inside.

Came here with a couple of friends last week, no reservation, just walked in. Got the grilled chicken plate&mdash;portion was honestly huge for the price. I&rsquo;ve paid way more at other places for half the amount. The terrace is nice if you can grab a seat, but it got a bit crowded later. Service was fine, nothing special, but I&rsquo;d come back for the value.

We keep coming back for the duck breast and shrimp pasta. Portions are solid. They handled our group with kids pretty well too.

Andreea was really lovely with us - so attentive and kind, made sure everything was fresh. Felt properly looked after without being rushed.

Came here on a whim and the fried rice really got me&mdash;tasted like something my grandma would make. Place is tiny but cozy, perfect for grabbing dinner with a friend. Waitress was sweet too.

Food was decent, portions big. But the smoking area sits right by the dining room, so smoke drifts in. Not great if you don&#39;t smoke. Terrace is nice when it&#39;s warm though.

The baguettes were really good, still warm when we got them. Place gets super busy though, we barely found a spot to stand. Staff was nice about it. Prices are a bit much for what you get, but the bread quality makes up for it. Good spot if you&#39;re grabbing something quick with friends.

The old-school vibe really makes this place stand out. Food was solid and portions are big, just expect some noise.

Came here for breakfast and honestly the coffee was the highlight&mdash;properly made, not too bitter. The snacks were decent too, nothing crazy but hit the spot. Waiters were friendly, didn&rsquo;t rush us even when it got busier. Music was chill, not annoying. Solid spot to wake up slowly.

Stopped by for a few pints last week. Draft list had some interesting local stuff, not the usual lagers you find everywhere. Tried a couple, both solid. Prices fair, 16-24 lei a glass. Bartender actually knew what he was talking about, helped me pick something hoppier. Place gets busy later, but fine if you grab a seat early.

The garlic butter shrimp were the real deal. Fresh, juicy, cooked just right. Grilled fish was solid too, flaky and clean tasting. Place is tiny and nothing fancy, but honestly who cares when the food hits like this. I&#39;d go back just for that shrimp. Maybe a bit more sauce on the fish next time though.

Decent teppanyaki spot. Chef Julius did a good show, food was pretty much the same as the Benihana in SF. Solid chain experience, nothing fancy but fine.

Viktor made the cocktails &mdash; he really knows what he&#39;s doing. Friendly guy, didn&rsquo;t rush us, and the drinks came out well balanced. Not too sweet, not too strong. Just right. Place was a bit quiet for a Friday, but that worked fine. Would sit at the bar again.

Nice spot for a cold beer and a quick bite. The decor is really pretty and the vibe was lively on Saturday night. Service was friendly too. 🍺

The pork ribs were the highlight&mdash;big portion, properly cooked. The place itself has that worn-in vibe, wooden tables, kinda dim. Service was slow though, we waited a while for the bill. Not a big deal if you&#39;re not in a rush. I&#39;d go back for those ribs, just not on a hungry evening.

Nice spot in the old town arcade for a relaxed shisha. Staff were friendly, hookah came out well-prepared. Good enough for a quick stop.

The garden really is a hidden green spot in the middle of the neighborhood. I came for lunch and grabbed a table outside, food was solid and fresh. Portions are decent for the price. Just wish the service was a bit faster, but I wasn&#39;t in a rush anyway. Nice place to just sit and chill for a while. 🌿

The hot and spicy soup really hit the spot. Portions are huge, almost too much to finish. Service was fine, nothing to complain about.

The grilled pork skewers were the only thing I really cared about. Meat had that smoky char, juicy inside, not dry at all. The seasoning was simple but worked. Had them with a cold beer and that was it. Garden looked nice but I wasn&#39;t there for that. Portion could be bigger for the price though.

The banana nutella pancakes were the highlight for me &mdash; so good. Coffee was solid too. Staff were friendly, and the terrace made it feel more relaxed.

Coffee&#39;s solid, and the place has a nice cozy feel. But don&#39;t come here expecting to get work done&mdash;no Wi-Fi, and there&#39;s basically one table where you could even open a laptop. Fine if you just need a quick takeaway and bounce. I&#39;d grab a cup to go if you&#39;re in the area.
