Place is very interesting decorated, small and cozzy. We have been in the afternoon and it was very quiet. Excellent choice of food, you have the daily menu, but also alla carte. Food is delicious. As for drinks, try Brasov craft beer.

For a title like this restaurant has, I had higher expectations. The staff is fine but the food was not so good. Pasta was very salty. The soup was a pretty bad combination with a cheese that gave it a sour taste. The second, an...onions soup, was small, filled withe bread and covered by cheese. Couldn’t finish any of the soups and left hungry, heading to another place to lunch.More

I admit that the first thing that motivated me to come was that I found out that it is a pet friendly place inside. In winter, it's a big thing to think that there are people who don't give up their four-legged children on vacation....I admit, I trained my puppy to be educated at a restaurant table, to know how to sit properly on the chair. At the same time, I discovered a place in my soul, with live piano in the evening. And the taste, oh my God, a delight! We will definitely be back! The potato meatball (from the menu of the day) and kaiserschmarrn were highly appreciated. And oh, the warm drinks Apfelstrohde and Grog were another delight. Because I had a fleeting passage through Brasov, for sure, next time, I will try other delicacies that caught my eye from the menu.More

Good and tasty franchise food, good wine portfolio to pair with the food, bistro franchise atmospher, no music (like veritable french restaurant), animal frendly. Take the window table for a romantinc lunch/dinner, it worth it. Will come back for sure even the waiting time in...crowded days are very high..but atmospher compensate it ! If you are on rush is not recomandate !More

I was initially excited when we stumbled across this restaurant, after I’d seen positive feedback online. However, some of these reviews must be outdated now…. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel inadequate compared to the other clientele. The older male...waiter with glasses had a very rude attitude & told us they had two seats left in the restaurant for us. He then handed us menus & that was the last we saw of him. Zero pleasantries or details on what the menu was offering which I would expect from a restaurant of this supposed class. The menu given to us was rather confusing as there seemed to be a small sample of dishes translated into English, but there seemed to be a large selection of other dishes or perhaps specials that hadn’t been translated…. Whilst trying to decipher the menu using google translate (as the waiting staff were being highly inattentive), my partner called over a young female waiter to ask her to help with the menu & take a drinks order. She rolled her eyes & said “fine, okay” in a very whiney voice. At this point we had been in the establishment for 20 minutes, so we proceeded to promptly walk out & find somewhere else to eat. I can’t comment on the food but the attitude of the staff sucked.More

I went here on some reccomandation. The service was very slow (they had a table of 10 and we should wait more than usual, they said..ok). The food was decent. Nothing special. Regular food. Sorry, i know most people are excited about this restaurant,but there...are a lot of better places in Brașov.More

I would definitely recommend when in Brașov. The menu is constantly changing, but they add something special to each dish, even the most traditional ones. Super nice waitress.

I much enjoyed the atmosphere. The presentation of the dishes is quite smart. It includes an interesting variety of traditional dishes. And they taste good, maybe not as good as they cost… but still. When in the center of Brasov, a certain price level is...to be expected. :-)More

Using only local ingredients, everything is extremely tasty. Saturday night you have to have a reservation to be able to dine inside. Reservation is a must.

Splendid food, very nice staff and great atmosphere with the live piano music. We had something on the daily menu and loved every bite. The dishes are something else, classic Romanian but with a twist. Loved it!

Food was locally sourced and outstanding! The waitress explained each dish on the menu in great detail so we knew what we were ordering. Her English was perfect. The atmosphere was lovely. We felt very pampered.

Big plus for us is that dogs are welcome inside. And no loud music. Understated ambience. Attentive service and not in your face. A little wine was spilled on the table and the waitress instantly arrived to mop it up. This is the only restaurant...we have used in the old town… a spontaneous decision. So being the tourist area, expectations were not high. However, the food delivered. We had two dishes from the daily menu … Shared a huge zucchini fritter - good as they added seeds for crunch. A lamb burger with Chevre - super moist and tasty. I had the slow cooker chicken … perfectly cooked. We went for the cheapest wine at 100lei. A cab sav and very drinkable. Would I recommend- YES Would I go back - YES.More

If there's one thing I can't stand while travelling, it's the cheap tricks from cafe and restaurant staff. We stumbled this morning upon this restaurant and went in to grab a cup of coffee. We ordered two doppios (double espresso) and were served basically one...coffee split in two separate cups. We left in like 5 minutes. Cheap move.More
