De Cartier - Bucharest

We went there for a date as we live near by and wanted to try it out . First of all the service is terrible to say the least as you wait 10 - 15 minutes to get a menu and then another 10 minutes to order and then forever until the food comes . Second huge problem is the place is dirty , table clothes have holes in them and they don't clean the tables after clients - it's disgusting . Third and most important they are stealing peoples money by charging extra sides you dont order and having a menu with the price by quantity(not by portion or dish) and when the bill comes it turns up to be more expensive then you ever imagined. I would strongly advise you not to go , do not encourage people or businesses like this , there are plenty of good restaurants in Bucharest do not go to this dump !!!

I have been there twice. It is a small restaurant owned by an Italian married with a Romanian. It has good background music, not too loud, you can have a decent conversation. I had the best vegetarian pizza in Bucharest, thin crust. My partners took beef ( Stroganoff, brown gravy or gorgonzola gravy - all excellent, I have tasted it) and Mediterranean salmon. I was amazed by the beef quality and good cooking time, it melted in your mouth. Adding to this good home wine ( I tasted red and rose), and desert - both times I took krantz cake with ice cream.Prices are ok, not too low not too high. (around 44 ron for beef, salmon is a little expensive -14 ron/100 g, pizza around 22 ron, wine 15 ron/ 500ml).I will return for sure during summer , I have to try the terrace.

As the title suggests it, if you're into lamb/sheep meat, their soup is out of this world. The missing 2 stars reflect the fact that 3 slices of bread cost 6 Ron. In my world, something doesn't sound good about that. And it's not very clean, as well. I will return for the soup and hopefully my experience will be different.

The food is excellent. The owners are nice and they do their best. The terrace is so pleasant for summer evenings.You need a map for your first visit, but you will enjoy it.Try the cake of the house (tort "Krantz") - it is gorgeous! (not recommended if your glycemy is high :) )

The food is good but the service is at least absent if not at all. I will not come here at all and it was on my top 5.
