What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the breathtaking panoramic views and the cozy, uniquely decorated ambiance, often highlighting the hearty traditional Romanian cuisine. While many praise the friendly staff and reasonable prices for the location, some reviews mention inconsistent food quality for non-traditional dishes and occasional service issues.
"We only stopped here for some refreshments this time, so I can't talk about the food but the place is wonderful, staff is friendly and very nice to talk to. Of course, the view is just to die for. We will certainly go back again to have lunch next time we are in town. I'll update this review then with our food experience."

"First of all, the location is amazing! The restaurant is cozy and clean and it is decorated with impressive wild animals mounts. The food is satisfying, and the portions are big. The prices might be a bit higher for Romania but well justified by the location. The staff is a bit old fashion and they seem to take pride in working for this restaurant. The famous Romanian desert, Papanasi, is available and it is delicious."

"Just had the most unbelievable experience with one of the managers, who decided I was not worthy of getting service. He thought we annoyed him with our requests for another chair and made it clear we will not be served any food by him."
