A great restaurant which sells both local and international food which makes locals come here time and time again. They return not only for the home-cooked, "just-like-my-mum-makes-it" endearing nature of the food, but also for the family friendly atmosphere, the children's play area and for the super budget-friendly prices and large portions. For example, between 12 and 3 PM, you can eat a large bowl of soup, a main course and a salad for 5 dollars (20 Romanian Lei).
You can also get pizza, piadinas, pasta, burgers, etc, all really cheap!

Beautiful in the spring, when the chestnut trees bloom, teeming with activities during the summer and autumn. Again, stunning in the autumn, when the trees' leaves turn to gentle shades of yellow, orange and red.
