Such a nice choice for a stop!

Jan 2020 • none

We choose this café by instinct passing through the street and looking for a cozy place for a quick stop. The decoration is excellent, with a reference to a pharmacy. Cozy armchairs and tables, light music, very gentle and quick staff. Clear bathroom. Unsmoked place indoors. Menu includes coffee, tea, drinks and some plates. Concerning prices, please check the photo below from our order. You can pay cash or card. We had a pleasure break, and we recommend this place for sure.

Cozy place

A very cozy place to spend a cold day in Brașov! I just loved the design, and the food and the service were great! I recommend to take Greek soup.

Beautiful Interior, Average Food

Feb 2020 • none

First off, we were drawn in by the warm beautiful interior. It is lovely with antique books on the walls and early century feel in general. The design is top notch. We ordered cocktails and the margarita was delicious. I did ask for an Old Fashioned though (the most basic cocktail that any barman should be able to make) and they told me I had to stick to their limited cocktail selection, which was a bit disappointing. From there my wife and I shared a fondue and, while it was tasty, it was too expensive for what it ended up being. Basically a huge pot of cheese and toast for dipping. Would probably recommend less expensive and substantially less cheese. We wasted half the fondue because it was too much to eat, especially when there was only toast for dipping. One can only have so much bread. All this said, this restaurant is new so I think they're still figuring things out :).

Hopelessly disorganised - waste of time and money

Jan 2022 • family

Joined our daughter and her friend for lunch. They had already ordered but only one of their meals arrived. The second one took 20 minutes extra after several reminders. The next four of us ordered and my salad came out within five minutes, then a twenty minute wait for two more mains and they had to be chased for our drinks order which didn’t arrive until I’d finished eating. After several reminders they admitted that they had forgotten our last members main, twenty minutes later her pasta came out uncooked. We had to do all of the chasing. The waiter’s attitude was ‘it’s not my fault, it’s the kitchen’. This is not a cheap place to eat but we certainly wouldn’t recommend it. A waste of two hours of our holiday and not worth it from a food quality or cost perspective. There are lots of better places to eat within a five minute walk - Sergianas as a shining example.

10 travelers dumped in Brasov

Dec 2023 • friends

A few weeks before arriving in Brasov, 10 friends booked this stay to spend a few days in this city. On the day of the reservation I call the hostel to inform them that we would be delayed a few hours and they tell me that my reservation does not exist and they do not have a place to accommodate me when they had already charged me and the reservation appeared as confirmed. To make matters worse, when we were trying to find a solution, they hung up on us, leaving us stranded with 10 kids at night at below zero in Romania. Furthermore, booking couldn't relocate us so we had to find a way to sleep for the two days we had booked in Romania. Absolute lack of professionalism.

10 Young people lying in the street

Nov 2023 • friends

After booking correctly through booking, the hostel tells us that we do not have a reservation nor is it confirmed. Ten of us stayed on the street the 2 nights that we had reserved this place. No solution from the Hostel and Booking. An absolute shame. I would like to know what would have happened if we were other people.

The best evening in Brasov

Dec 2019 • couples

Totally unexpected as we were trailing around recommended restaurants on the tourist map to absolutely no avail. Came into here by chance and were happily surprised. My boyfriend and I just had the most pleasant evening here. The atmosphere was calm and friendly but also warm and fun, the waitress was very kind and patient with our English - I wish I asked her name. We had some cocktails (fantastic) to start, got hungry and ordered some lovely food. The hummous was out of this world. Pizza looked amazing. We both had pasta which was fantastic. Worth popping in.

We passed this quaint, candlelit place at night and simply had to go inside. It was like stepping into the past, into the Belle Epoque! Reminders of the nineteenth century were everywhere. Good beer, too!
