Casa Iancului
Address: 2 Str. Sarafinesti
Phone: 256 97 98
Website: n/a
Cuisine: Romanian
Prices: Moderate
How to get there: Work your way somehow to the east of the city, to Piata Iancului. There is a metru station there and also several buses (335, 311, 330, 155) and trams (5, 46, 17, 1, 34). From the piata take a 5 or 46 tram two stations west along Soseaua Iancului. You'll see it just a little back from the station, on the right, in a side road. The building is painted yellow and you can't easily miss it.
Review: Casa Iancului is not a big restaurant but it's cosy and a little romantic.The decor is a blend of traditional wooden motives and modern furniture.There's traditional Romanian music on in the background but they have also Arabic, Serbian music (if you like the Goran Bregovich kind) and I'm sure on request they can provide other styles as well.
Service is OK. There's a large non-smoking area.
The Menu is limited to typical Romanian cuisine (like sarmale, pane, mamaliga cu branza). Dishes are based on chicken, fish, pork and some game which can be helped "sliding" by the wine selections or beer. As deserts you can choose from Romanian pancakes and sundaes. We had Frigarui vanatoresti (Shish Kebab-pork, chicken and beef), Salau cu cartofi natur (battered perch with boiled potatoes), Salata bulgaresca (Bulgarian salad; egg, salami, cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, black olives), mint and chocolate sundae and 5 beers Stella Artois. Total price was 86 RON (about 24Euros).
