    I've been here for a few times and each time was a pleasant experience. The garden is big and has nice decorations. The food was flawless everytime. However i would not recommend the aperol sprit. The service was fast and the waiters were friendly.

    TLDR version: if you knew it and loved it, it's best to stay away nowadays. In the past 5-7 years this was a go-to place for good food and affordable prices (for city center standards). Knowing that, I'm just coming from an embarrassing experience with foreign friends who were looking forward to the Romanian hospitality, good cooking and the aforementioned decent prices. Apart from the general atmosphere which still works, for the food and service we were provided we definitely paid about 3-4x the deserved price. To showcase: find the black tiger in the paella, the prosciutto and pouched eggs in the breakfast plate.

    (Translated by Google) The chicken breast came without a mini salad, but accompanied by a pizza sauce. In the meatball soup I found a hard and sharp piece of plastic. Fortunately, I didn't hurt her. (Original) Pieptul de pui a venit fara mini-salata, dar insotit cu un sos de pizza. In ciorba de perisoare am gasit o bucata de plastic tare si ascutita. Din fericire nu m-am ranit cu ea.

    Great food, but the terrace is closed and smoking inside is allowed. If you are not a smoker, expect your clothes to smell like cigarettes after you leave the place. The fact is that this is a closed space and the smoking, in theory at least, is illegal. But... I think that they have declared the space as an open terrace, even if it closed and all the smoke stays inside. I recommend only to smokers. Don't recommend to anyone who don't like the smell of cigarettes.

    Food was delicious. It was cold until we realized we were able to turn on the heating device. My friend loved the spaghetti carbonara, the Bailey's cake was also delicious.

    Journey garden is an ok place to have a grub. So the meals we had here were the chicken grill with mushroom sauce, seafood spaghetti and the polenta,cheese and meat dish. My polenta dish was not that great tbh since it had no sour cream (you had to get it extra),the goat cheese was good but quite scarce and the pork meat was just wrong...it was too heavy for this overall meal and it tasted weirdly somehow. The chicken was tasty tho. Prices are fair ish, service was fine (first waiter had a shitty attitude but thankfully the 2nd one was better) and the atmosphere was fine.

  • 2/5 Csenge P. 4 years ago on Google
    Cozy place with lots of plants and nice decorations. Food/drinks look good and tasty - but they're not, except the cheesecake (with strawberry-rosemary topping). The staff seems bored and the music is too loud to have a normal conversation there.

    Really bad experience! Apart from the location and the space this pub doesn’t deserve a visit. We were six of us, we had a reservation but when we arrived no one greeted us, we had to look for someone to help us find our table witch was already occupied. The service was bad, the waitress seemed annoyed / bored. The food was also bad. I ordered a steak with vegetables and potatoes. The vegetables were cold and the potatoes tasted rancid like they were cooked yesterday. My friends were also disappointed by the food they ordered. This place also isn’t cheap. There are places in the area way better so best to avoid this pub.

    Do not recommend at all. There was 6 of us and 3 ordered food. Out of the 3, none was happy with the order. I ordered the New York strip steak and it was very bad. I got 2 strips of meat, one of which I'm pretty sure was cooked yesterday and reheated for my order. I actually complained to the waitress and she said that "probably the meat quality is not that great". So I had to pay 43 lei for "not that great meat quality". The service wasn't that great either. There are other nice places in the area, give those a try.

    (Translated by Google) An ok experience until the end when the waiter didn't bring us the rest even though it reached 40% of the grade. It seemed an extremely ugly gesture, money is not a problem but the gesture itself seems rude and I will probably not go there. (Original) O experianta ok pana la sfarsit cand ospatarul nu ne— mai adus restul desi ajungea la 40% din nota. Mi s a parut un gest extrem de urat, banii nu sunt o problema dar gestul in sine mi se pare grosalan si probabil nu voi mai merge pe acolo.

    (Translated by Google) Take some time to convince yourself not to come to poor quality places like Journey. After placing us in a corner of the restaurant, where we were the only ones at the table, probably because we were a group of 5 and not 4 during the pandemic, the waitress came to us with a careless attitude. Each of us said what he wanted, but the waitress replied casually: "I didn't write anything down." We all laughed, haha ​​funny, it still happens. I repeated his order. The food came on time ok, except for a friend's order. He sat for an hour watching us eat. Eventually, I went with my girlfriend to the waitress, whom I found sitting on the phone and shouting with another. When we told him about the order, he laughed and told us that "dada, come immediately". Of course I commented to each other afterwards, making her lack common sense. Another waitress heard us. And when we received the note, our waitress told us that we didn't have anything to look for in the place because we made her insensitive. I also gave her a few lei in coins because no one had lei left, to which she replied, I quote, "with these you go to the supermarket, not to me". At that moment I wanted to call for consumer protection. Unjustly, an employee dissatisfied with the feedback, WHICH WAS CORRECT, forbids us to come again. You practically lost your own customers. Later, I talked to the manager and received 10% of the consumption back. However, what I want to say is that the employees lack any quality necessary for a disgraceful waiter. :) (Original) Luati-va putin din timp pentru a va convinge sa nu mai veniti in locuri de proasta calitate ca Journey. Dupa ce ne-a asezat intr-un colt al restaurantului, unde eram singurii de la masa, probabil pentru ca eram un grup de 5 si nu de 4 pe timp de pandemie, chelnerita a venit la noi cu o atitudine nepasatoare. Fiecare dintre noi a spus ceea ce dorea, insa chelnerita ne-a raspuns casual: "nu am notat nimic". Am ras cu toti, haha amuzant, se mai intampla. I-am repetat comanda. Mancarea a venit in timp ok, mai putin comanda unei prietene. A stat o ora uitandu-se la noi cum mancam. Pana la urma, am mers cu prietena mea la chelnerita, pe care am gasit-o stand pe telefon si vociferand cu o alta. Cand i-am spus de comanda, a ras si ne-a spus ca "dada, vine imediat". Bineinteles ca am comentat intre noi dupa aceea, facand-o lipsita de bun simt. O alta chelnerita ne-a auzit. Iar cand am primit nota, chelnerita noastra ne-a spus ca nu mai avem ce cauta in local pentru ca am facut-o nesimtita. De asemenea, i-am dat cativa lei in monede pentru ca nimeni nu mai avea lei, la care ea a raspuns, citez, "cu astia sa merteti la supermarket nu la mine". In momentul acela imi venea sa sun la protectia consumatorului. Fara drept, o angajata nemultumita de feedback, CARE ERA CORECT, ne interzice sa mai venim. Practic v-ati pierdut singuri clientii. Ulterior, am vorbit cu managerul si am primit 10% din consumatie inapoi. Totusi, ce vreau sa spun este ca anagajatii sunt lipsiti de orice calitate neceara unui ospatar, dizgratios. :)

    This place was recommended to us as being perfect for a group with kids. It was not entirely as described, though it does have a room with different games. The kids were more into the deserts, though, so it was a good choice, after all. I liked the concept, the rooms being so differently decorated, according to each one's theme. The menu is quite varied, and everybody was happy with the food, from the vegetarians to the serious meat eaters. The tea menu added more value to our experience.

    They dont have shots on the menu, but they had available B52 and Kamikaze we paid for 1 shot kamikaze 24 lei, really expensive. Didnt try the food because the place did not gained our trust to order any. Indeed it was cold inside the premises, we had our jackets on because outside was -4'C and probably inside this pub was around 10'C... we left due to the shots being overpriced, the menu was nasty, needs a do over, too much text cluttered on a plastic A3 paper. They didnt had some beers on the menu. But the service was quick. Probably the food was good, i did not try it, but the heat thing needed a fix that was the main reason we left

    Awful out of date food and bad service. I complained about the thai chicken (which is supposed to be a highly rated dish) and they made no effort to put it right, then continued to put it on the bill. My partner ordered the ribs, which was edible, less than mediocre. Lacks cleanliness too. Loads of nice spots in the area, this one can definitely be missed.

  • 1/5 Emile van L. 3 years ago on Google
    Unforunately one star is the minimal I can give, I would have liked to give them ZERO stars! I had a very unpleasant experience here tonight, an extremely rude waiter who refused to serve me a last beer at 23.20 even though I called before to ask if they are opened until 23.00 or 0.00. The ladies' answer was 0.00 like Romanian law because of Covid permits. So I arrived at 22.25 and planned to stay until 0.00 drinking 3 beers, being thirsty after a very hot Bucharest summer day. When the waiter asked me for the last order at 22.40 I told him that I would like a last beer please after that which I would finish before 0.00 so that I wouldn't be a problem for them closing in time. So we agreed that I would pay the first 2 beers and if there was time enough until 0.00 I could order one more. Arriving at that moment with 40 minutes to closing time and ordering my last beer as agreed, he arrogantly refused. Very very unfriendly and absolutely not the way they should treat clients. As I client I respect the waiters, they should respect me as a client. And be prepared to work until 0.00 if that is the official closing time and not behave like this just to get home 30 minutes earlier. A very regular visitor to Bucharest I will NEVER EVER visit this hostile place again! First and last time. If you don't care about the waiters' behaviour towards their clients, please do. But they don't deserve your visit. There are more than enough bars in Bucharest with a decent behaviour towards their clients.

    The restaurant looks good, it like a home with a big terrace and it's a good place to meet with friends and have a glass of wine. The food is, overall, mediocre, but not bad. I mean, it fills your belly but you don't feel like it's one of the best things you've had. I recommend the quesadilla - it's pretty tasty. Careful with the house wine - each time I had the house wine, I had terrible headaches the next day. So choose a more expensive wine, because it's worth it.

    The food is almost inedible. Most people from our table didn't enjoy it. Also, for the high prices that they have, I'd expect a much better service. Unless you're going for a quick beer, not worth it.

  • 5/5 Travelling C. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best places in Bucharest! Food: They change the menu many times, but the food is good each time! We had: Quarto Formaggi pasta, Classic Burger, Nachos (don't recommend the cheese dip - it ain't good, but the Mexican spicy dip - worth every penny!). Drinks: Lemonade (delicious!) and beers. Location: Central Bucharest - Subway station: Piata Romana. Don't recommend taking your own car, as they lack parking spaces. Price: Prices are mid-range. If you would like to play board games, it's a 15 RON tax per each player. Not all people at the table should pay - as only players pay. Staff: Very nice and friendly. However there is no one to greet you and because it has 4 areas, it's a bit confusing to know where your reservation is. Ambiance: It's a cozy location. It is made out of 4 areas which include: garden (heated terrace) and board games rooms. Perfect for the summer, but also for when it's cold outside. The board games areas turn into a real competitive place - so much fun to see other peoples reactions to when they win or lose.

    A pleasant garden-like seating with a lot of greenery where you can get some beers, cocktails or even something to eat (for example, a burger). I liked the relaxed atmosphere inside and the romanian draught non-filtered beer, but the prices are really high for a Romanian pub (~ €4/beer).

    It is a nice place to have a couple of beers after work or to go with you friends to play some board games; their staff is friendly and smiling. Although, the service is very slow. Even if the place was not jammed when we went there, we had to wait about 20 minutes for someone to take our order and then we waited for another half hour for 4 beers and some nachos. No apologies and no explanation received. Same waiting time happened also when we asked for the check.

  • 4/5 Anghel C. 4 years ago on Google
    Place is great. 2 issues tho. Prices are a bit expensive. (You can find the same quality in the area for a bit less.) Don't ask to play board games! It's 19 leis per person not per group (which is ridiculous).

    The atmosphere is very nice, the place is nicely put together, following the "journey" theme. They have an amazing cheese soup, and the waiters are mostly OK. However, they've recently updated their prices and boy are they high. We've spent about 80% more than in other locations, and for that kind of money, you can eat a fine dinner at a fancy restaurant. Example: at journey, i ate a very poorly cooked pork stake. For the same price, i ate a delicious boar stake at a restaurant close to the herastrau park.

    (Translated by Google) The food is not surprising, I find it very overpriced for quality. Yes, it's diverse, but that's it. It's spacious and okay for large groups, but don't expect it to thank you too much or create a memorable experience. It's not necessarily horrible, it's kind of mediocre. (Original) Mâncarea nu surprinde, mi se pare foarte overpriced pentru calitate. Da, e diversă, dar atât. E spațios și okay pentru grupuri mari, dar nu vă așteptați să vă mulțumească prea multe sau să vă creeze o experiență memorabilă. Nu e neapărat oribil, ci oarecum mediocru.

    A great and really enjoyable experience, friendly staff, a well done diversity of cuisine menu; not the best music but it is kept on a ambient volume. All the tables are positioned into a wonderful inside garden with a lot of plants, flowers and garden decor.

    I used to go there quite often as it was close to my work place, but I’ve had some bad experience with the staff that convinced me not to return there. The first issue was that one of the waiters complained to us that his tip was not sufficient after not allowing us to pay with a credit card because their POS did not work, and did not see fit to let us know before ordering. The second was quite recently, the staff refused to honor a reservation claiming that it was too late and they were preparing to close. This would not have been a problem for us if we were informed in advance that the reservation must be cancelled. All in all, the place is cozy and in the city center, but the food is average and the staff manage to ruin your meal.

    Visit: June 2019 Pro's: The place is decorated really nice. The food is okish. Con's: Maybe it was bad luck, but the waitress was very rude and it ruined the experience. After complaining all night that she cannot serve us properly because we were a big table (she arranged it.), we helped her with the plates and glasses, basically she just came with them and we each went to get them to our seats. Overlooking this, the tip was not 10%, because she did not deserve it at all, but had the nerve to come and complain she wants a bigger tip. We just left right after this, it was not ok. Will not visit this place again, nor do I recommend it.

    I like Journey a lot but their food could be inconsistent at times. Service is expedient but curt. I love their chicken strips but don’t enjoy the potatoes they serve with it. Prices are pretty good.

  • 1/5 Nuria F. 3 years ago on Google
    Heating barely works by the doors near the entrance. Some tables were free in a warmer area and the waiters refused us to let us switch to them even though it was 8pm and we kept ordering drinks. Quite disappointed and will not come back.

    I thought the days when you go to a place and come out smelling like cigarette smoke were behind us. The garden looks nice but it's covered by decorations and a tarp looking thing to the point where you have no ventilation. Personnel could work on their hospitality, I only asked if I'm required to wear a face mask while using the toilet, the tone of the answer was as if I were a defiant scumbag not willing to comply with the rules. Anyway, going in and coming out the restroom, no one there was using the mask... Food is good though... but do you really want to be there to enjoy it?

    We were 6 people , tried to find a free spot and one of the waiters aproached with a pretty bad attitude without any reason...just tried to have some drinks or something to eat...you don't do that, if you have problems in your personal life you forget about them when you start your work...don't throw your problems on other people...I'm not comming back again in this place...so rude.

    Nice looking place, but don't judge a book by its cover! I used to come here on a weekly basis. Around a year ago, I would have given the place five stars. It was cozy, the food and drinks were cheap and very tasty. Now, the food isn't even decent, but is extremely expensive.I paid 39 lei for a portion of spaghetti carbonara that looked like they came from a microwave(and also tasted like it).The only good thing to eat here would be the Thai chicken, however be prepared for your wallet to feel a lot lighter, as that costs 42 lei. A tequila shot is 20 lei, whereas in other places in the same area you can find a shot with the same brand of tequila for only 10. Overall, I am very disappointed in this place. It has declined immeasurably over the course of a few months. Definitely do not recommend.

    The food and drinks were super ok, but I was very upset that I couldn't tip them, because I didn't have any cash, and the waiter came to ask me if everything was ok, but he insisted at least 5 times the fact that I left nothing for "hospitality". This does not seem normal to me, given that when I pay the bill, I also pay for the service provided. I will not return in these conditions. If they were interested in our experience with the services provided, they should come to our table and ask us about our opinion on what we ordered before requesting the bill and / or not offering them tips.

  • 1/5 Mihai O. 2 years ago on Google
    Terrible service. I had to wait 30 minutes just for someone to get my order. Food portions were way less than what's written on the menu. Mediocre food taste and pretty expensive, but the price is somehow justified because it's near the center of Bucharest.

  • 1/5 S37hhh 1 year ago on Google
    One of the worst starter foods, basically last night's leftovers. I've been ordering via glovo/tazz from them and suddenly the crispy chicken menu started to be gummy/ very chewey resembling leftover food that's been microwaved. Not to mention most of the portion were the fries, while the chicken pieces were small and inconsistent in size (most were very small). I've called them out on it because it happened at least on 3 separate occasions and they asked me to send a picture then never got any sort of answer back /acknowledge of the situation. I'm not paying 40 Ron for starter fries just to check if they fixed their menu.

    Recommended by some friends with which we were here, the place was found to be nice, with a cozy and yet interesting atmosphere. The service was fast but lacked that "something" to make it excellent, although the personnel was very nice. The rose wine is not recommended and the steaks were... mixed-up, but the Bayley cake and the Cheese cake were excellent!

    Not very enthusiastic about food being served small bowl on top or next to main course on a larger dish, quite messy and disgusting. Tiny small amounts of fries and salad, like children menu. I understand cabbage and potatoes are so very scarce nowadays 😂 Treatment for hand irritation by hand sanitizer in the men's room took about 4 days

    Good food, that's all I can say. On the covered terrace we were seated at a table without heating, we were told that the air conditioner was not "working" and although we came with a reservation and could go to another heated table of the same size, they left us in the cold. After an hour of waiting for the food, I asked the waiter how long it would take; after 10 minutes I received the answer: it was an event, the chefs hadn't even taken care of our order. It's the first bad review I've left, but I couldn’t let this go by. Try to treat your customers with a little more respect.

  • 4/5 Jemini A. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice restaurant located a few minutes walk from the Roman Atheneum. The restaurant is outdoor and they have covers on the roof and heating but it is very cold. Definitely wear a warm coat. The food was nice, nothing too special and very big portion sizes. I would recommend sharing with another person! Staff were lovely!

  • 3/5 Mihai M. 1 year ago on Google
    Had lunch on a work-day there, so it wasn't crowded at all. Had a pretty good experience overall, apart from finding the prices have sky-rocketed during the time we haven't visited the establishment, beyond the inflation of our economy. Four years ago, a classic hamburger was priced 29 RON, now it's 52. Soups for instance, jumped from 15 RON to 28. Maybe justified reasons can be found for this, but it's the same experience as before. From a pretty oasis, it has become an overpriced one.

  • 2/5 Violeta G. 1 year ago on Google
    I really like this place, but I'm giving it 2 stars today because I made a reservation online for the terrace(smoker area), then I saw the previous review saying the terrace is closed. I contacted then on WhatsApp to ask if the terrace is indeed closed, as I am reserving especially for the smoker area. They said the terrace is not closed. Well, when we arrived the next day, the terrace was closed, so we left. Not a tragedy, but they could have told me and that is disrespectful.

    A very warm place, full of plants and green areas. Nice choice of food in the menu.. and the deserts are absolutely delicious!! You have to try them...on the other side, .they still have to improve service and the waiting time for the food is a bit high...

    After reading some of the negative reviews, I was scared to eat diner at the Journey Garden. However, the diner and experience was such a revalation that it inspired me to write a positive review. My girlfriend and I shared the meatball soup as a starter, which to our surprised included 4 pieces of homemade bread. As we are not particularly fans of soups in general, we were very pleasantly surprised. The taste was great! For the main dish we ordered the italian burger and the falafal with rice. The portions were very large and both dishes tasted great!

    I went there once with a friend and it was ok. It's an easy-to-get-to place to have a chat and a cocktail. There are at least two spaces where you can seat: the main room, which was full on a Friday evening and the white room - we were guided here since we didn't have a reservation. The white room's got the feel of a student canteen, but nicely upgraded. I ordered a cocktail with vodka and lychee syrup. That syrup was really good and they didn't put too much vodka. Actually, I almost didn't feel it, but I'm ok with that. For me a cocktail that doesn't get me dizzy is a good one. We didn't order any food, but I saw people bought pizzas mostly. At first I didn't want to go there because the area in front of the pub always gave me a bad vibe (like there are always strange people on that side of the street) while waiting at the bus station nearby. But the pub is ok.

    Great social spot just outside of Old Town Bucharest. Diverse menu of food and drinks. Handled a large party of 25 with no issue. Drinks and food came out quick and accurate. I didn't ask for an all English menu so not sure if it was available but enough of the menu was in English that you could figure it out for the most part. You might have ask a Romanian speaking member of your party about some specific ingredients if you have some allergies. Personally I had the carbonara which was decently portioned and very delicious (don't get me wrong this is not Rome but it was good). Others in the party had ribs and a quesidilla among other dishes everyone seemed to enjoy it.

    It's true that usually reviews are extreme. People tend to comment when they are very happy or very unhappy. I really tried to find a good thing about this place. It's a nice place to hangout but NOT to EAT. Terrible food.

    Nice atmosphere and absolutely wonderful service considering the house was packed. The food however was horrible. We had pizza which was made with soggy dough. Also, for some items the prices are a bit extreme: 18 lei for a small Coke (250 ml)!!??

  • 5/5 Dan A. 9 months ago on Google
    Had Tex-Mex burger and Ribs - both AMAZING. The burger, was great, quite big, juicy, lots of ingredients and the taste combo was great. Ribs were very tender, meat literally falling off the bones,a bit unseasoned, but the BBQ sauce was there to help! Both preps came with fries (french/wedges/round with garlic) and sauce (something like Cocktail for the burger and BBQ for the ribs). A bit pricey, but for city center, with great atmosphere (plants everywhere, inside-garden like) this was not overkill. Drinks were average, could add more sirup to Hugo and lemonade, but better to ask for more sugar than to redo a drink, right? Also, we arrived at 22:10, ordered at 22:15, drinks came in 5 minutes while the food in another 10min. Talk about fast service!

    It doesn't look very big from the front door, but it is! There are two sperate gardens to sit it. Both closed off to the elements. 1 complaint is people smoking and no fresh air. There are fan but not able to turn them on to move the smoke away! Stopped in for an early dinner. We have the quesadillas plater, a burger and salmon. All very delicious! The server was friendly and spoke very good English. Highly recommend!

  • 1/5 Julie H. 5 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    The food and service were great and all, but the music and atmosphere were awful...The music was what you would expect from a nightclub, but with a lower volume and what really bothered me was that there were people smoking inside, which is against the law and I am a non smoker, so this was an inconvenience for me. The waiter did not even ask us whether we are smokers or not! Never gonna go there again!
