Wir waren gestern Abend in diesem Restaurant essen und sind absolut begeistert. Während unseres Aufenthalts haben wir einige Restaurants ausprobiert, aber dieses hat uns mit Abstand am besten gefallen. Das traditionelle Essen war hervorragend – authentisch, unglaublich lecker und mit viel Liebe zubereitet. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir auch die außergewöhnliche Gastfreundlichkeit des Managers Alex, der den Abend mit seiner herzlichen und aufmerksamen Art zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht hat. Ein echtes Highlight war außerdem der selbstgebrannte Aprikosen-Schnaps - einfach fantastisch. Sehr schön fanden wir auch zu hören, dass es ab nächster Woche einen tollen Außenbereich im Hinterhof geben wird - das macht das Restaurant sicher noch einmal attraktiver und wir kommen dafür sehr gerne wieder. Für uns war dieses Restaurant ganz klar das beste während unseres Aufenthalts, und wir würden es jederzeit wieder besuchen und jedem uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!

Recomand cu căldură. Atmosferă liniștită și bucătărie de nota 10. Supa de ardei umpluți e senzație, deși m-a făcut inițial să am îndoieli (supă din felul doi?) La desert am luat papanași (fierți) excelenți cum nu prea întâlnești prin alte restaurante.

Must try

Papanași fierți

A rare and delightful traditional boiled version of the classic dessert, rather than the usual fried one.

Supă de ardei umpluți

A rich, unique stuffed pepper soup that guests highlight as an absolute revelation.

Varză a la Cluj

A perfectly seasoned, authentic regional staple that tastes just like a home-cooked family meal.

Șnițel de vită

A massive, tender, and perfectly crispy beef schnitzel.

Gulaș

A rich, comforting, and beautifully seasoned stew.

Ciorbă de salată

A refreshing, traditional Transylvanian sour soup that diners love.
