😠 My wife just arrived from Ukraine super hungry, and this waitress from the morning shift didn't even bother to look at us when we walked in. I was super nice to her, I said good morning I smiled and asked if she serves breakfast. She gave us the menu, completely ignored our existence, and just start... People often mention good, menu,

    My wife just arrived from Ukraine super hungry, and this waitress from the morning shift didn't even bother to look at us when we walked in. I was super nice to her, I said good morning I smiled and asked if she serves breakfast. She gave us the menu, completely ignored our existence, and just started answering phone calls and accepting orders instead of attending to our table. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.

    The food was good. Vegetarian options are correct and tasty. The service was blind & slow. My meal was served to another table. Waited for 5 minutes till re-served to me, Covid anyone?. The terrasse gets invaded by beggars every 10 minutes. If only the terrasse-server visited the terrasse just as often!

    Unsatisfying. Very varied menu, but many items are not available. Out of all the beer on the menu, only 3 were available. The lemonades don't even seem to contain lemon, just soda water, syrup and 2 slices of lime. It took almost an hour for a serving of Bolognese pasta made on economy of sauce (it was more like pasta with meat) and one (1) stuffed pancake. Normally, that's what you'd expect as time in a large restaurant in an equally large city at a busy hour and where the food is up to *restaurant* standards. But in this case there was no excuse for the delay, as the place was quite airy. Several people complained about the quality of service and rightly so. The quality of the service is indeed proportional to their payment, and this is not the fault of the waiters. Overall you're better off if you cook the same dishes at home, probably cheaper and tastier too.

    This place is pretty great. But it does get really busy during late evenings and public holidays. I had here a chicken salad, a long espresso, and a raspberry lemonade with still water. The coffee was good, the lemonade was incredibly sweet thou’. And the food, I ate there and asked for the rest to be packed as there was way too much food in that bowl I had the salad for lunch and dinner too lol. Definitely good value for money, but you do have to watch out for the sugar intake. I am sure that many people appreciate the big portions, especially the locals, but for me that was a minus as it often ends up as a waste of food.

    City Bistro is just as it sounds, a regular bistro to be found in most cities around the world with the glaring exception of the amount of vegan food choices on the menu. And even better, we didn't have to thumb through the entire menu because they were conveniently listed on the first page. We ordered spicy hummus and baba ghanoush to start, served with toasted bread and it was delicious. Perfectly grilled zucchini. Herb sauteed mushrooms and sauteed potatoes with dill, parsley and garlic were all very delicious. There were many other options including pasta and tabbouleh salad but we had a long drive home so didn't eat too much. And we were too hungry for photos, sorry!

    Fabulous home cooking. Ask for the English menu and don’t order too many dishes as they’re big!

  • 5/5 Michał Armata (. 5 years ago on Google
    Very friendly place with big menu, full of tasty dishes. Menu is writed in english so it's easy to order something. Prises of dishes are normal, allmost cheap ;) Beer is not to expensive too. I recommand this place for tourists. :)

    Never fades. Great deserts (wide variety of filled pancakes). Great food (mostly meats). Some Lebanese foods too. PUB-like atmosphere. Frequently visited by young folks but older folks as well. Small 5-6 table closed terase. 6-7 tables inside.

    The food is ok. The portions are Big, depending in what you Order. It's cheap, so the right choice if you are travelling on a limited budget. Although we didn't order the pancakes, they seem to be pretty good because everyone else in the Restaurant ordered them.

    Horrible service! Not for tourists that speak no romanian. When I asked for english menue (they have one, it is on their Website) the waitress looked in horror and disbelief. She relucantaly brought the menue. After that she ignored me and my mother for over 40 minutes. She served a family, a couple, and a group of five before us, even though they came later. When I walked towards her with the menue she said „no“. I thought maybe she misunderstood me and tried again by showing her the menue with a big smile. But she simply refused and showed me that I should leave. English is Not my native language and i don‘t think everyone needs to speak english, even in service. She did not try to help us, she simply did not want us there.

    Very friendly staff, very good food, best prices, basically best value. You need to try the chocolate bananas pancake, you won’t regret. And it’s 3€

👍👍 Very good fish dishes. Definitely thumbs up. Friendly staff. Updated AUG 2023: The restaurant has the same prices as the Bucharest branch (very expensive) and the fish soup was tasteless, so the dishes are for the tourists, losing the local deltaic flavour.

👍👍 We only dropped into La Liman for a drink and snack, but it was so relaxed we had a couple of drinks! :-) The menu draws on the multi-cultural culinary offerings of the Tulcea community and epitomises the fun, positive spirit we've encountered all across Romania. It deserves to do well. If you onl...

🫤 Poor service, careless and impolite. Food was not bad for the price, but it needs more work. I would prefer a salad with more than an ingredient (we received some sliced beetroot in a bowl directly from the jar), and the main meal was presented in an elongated snacks plate. I won’t go there again to...
