In-Depth Information
(Piaa Muzeului 4; mains 15 lei; 9am-midnight; )
With jazz piping through its peel-
ing arched interior decked in candlebra and threadbare rugs, this boho restaurant is perfect
for solo book-reading jaunts or romantic dinner alfresco. Its homemade pasta is delicious,
the salads and tapas full of zing. Breakfasts too.
Magyar Vendeglo $$
(Str Iuliu Maniu 6; mains 25 lei)
Based at the Hotel Agape, rustically painted wooden
walls and finely carved furniture complement a menu spanning goulash, schnitzel, steak
and, curiously, 'brain with egg'! Not sure whose brain.
HUNGARIAN
Restaurant Matei Corvin $$
(Str Matei Corvin 3; mains 16-42 lei)
With its Romanesque arched ceilings and walls
strung with oils, this old trusty delivers with a flavoursome menu of broths, soup, pork
roulade and tortillas. Authentic.
ROMANIAN
Napoca 15 $$
(Str Napoca 15; mains 15-20 lei)
Delightful courtyard restaurant with giant fans keeping
you cool as you tuck into an Italian menu of pasta, pizza or sugary pancakes. And with a
decent wine list and pleasant tunes, it makes for a romantic spot.
ITALIAN
Bricks $$
(mains 25 lei; )
Bricks has risen from the ashes of a men's drinking den, as a chichi
urban bistro. Rattan chairs shaded by an arbour look out across the river, while the menu
excels with plenty of grilled dishes, vegie numbers, oriental cuisine and salads.
