Vatra Veche

Restaurant Bar Lounge Romanian restaurant

🫤 Great location, probably one of the best in town. Dumb manager (owner's wife) who has yet to come to understand what service is all about and what is the human dignity. The staff looks stressed and confused.

    Food (we had salads) is good but very slow service. Very slow. Served the appetizers at the end of meal. And brought 4 salads in 3 different times.

    Wow, I am not able to find the right words to describe the experience. Superb location by the lake, with a nice smooth breeze cooling the hot afternoons, enjoyable lounge music at the perfect volume level accompanied by the right kind of waiters ready to help you make the right choice in order to have one of the best culinary experience at a fair price. I totally recommend this place!

    This place is a hidden gem. Location: Simply the best, next to the lake, with fresh air, you can hear the fish jump in the water. The downside is that the mosquitos will attack after sunset, but hey, just have a hoodie or jacket.
You can find parking spots in the area, not quite near the restaurant, but around 100-200m away in the Park surroundings. The food is good. Could be improved and modernised a bit, but that's probably harder due to circumstances. We had Greek salad with grilled fish. Prices: 25$ for 2 persons - a bit expensive, however, the location/services are totally worth it. The service/waiter - Young staff, was very professional and our waiter was moving fast around the restaurant. Always check if everything is okay, clean the tables, and be helpful. Music: A mix of relaxing music from rock ballads to romantic, was a perfect touch for a dinner in two. There was a small wedding at a large table, and people were very quiet even if they had children. The toilet is relatively clean, they could have some sanitisers there. Can't complain. Overall it was a great experience and we recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic evening or a nice business dinner/lunch.

    Great place with delicious food where you can celebrate your birthday with closest people. I totally liked it, in the summer you can seat there near the lake and observe the park. So, this is the restaurant with beautiful view, delicious meals and it's really cozy.
