Eating & Drinking
STEAKHOUSE
Pub 13 $$
(3rd Gate, Citadel; mains 20 lei; noon-2am)
Built into the wall of the citadel, this am-
biently lit cavern of a restaurant is hung with armour and candlebra, and has a menu burst-
ing with steak, salad and pizza. Try the maize porridge served with cheese and sour cream
(16 lei).
PIZZERIA
Ristorante Roberta $
(Str Tudor Vladimirescu 4; pizza & pasta 17 lei; 9am-midnight)
This Italian pizzeria
has check cloth tables and stucco Corinthian columns, and dishes up very good pizza and
pasta. Shame about the location on a busy road in the new town.
Pas
(Str Varga 4; 8am-midnight; )
A bubble of bohemian flair hidden among the stately
lines of the citadel, this bijou bar pipes Coltrane jazz onto its terrace from its bikers' lair
interior.
