Description:
Laid-back hangout of Bucharest's entrepreneurial brat pack, this pleasant eatery centers on a long, lovely bar counter, and offers relaxed dining in a bright space in the Lipscani District. A self-consciously contemporary atmosphere (most of the indoor seating is on sofas or awkward, modish swivel chairs) is enhanced by good lounge music, and tall, friendly waiters. Dishes are simple, wholesome, and tasty: Take your pick of grilled lamb, osso buco, grilled swordfish, calamari with spicy ricotta cheese, lamb chops with black beer sauce, pasta with porcini mushrooms, or beef filet with a choice of mustard sauce, a rich Gorgonzola sauce, or fresh asparagus. Most of what's on the menu is under L25 ($13/£8), and your table will be supplied with fresh bread and olives to nibble on. It may no longer be flavor of the month (since opening mid-2006, several lookalike wannabes have popped up in the vicinity), but the location lends it great charm; grab a seat on the small wooden terrace and you'll easily spend an afternoon watching pedestrians come and go.
