Cornelius - Iaşi

Wonderful restaurant. Lovely staff. A very wide variety of dishes, even for the lunch special. Plenty of vegetarian options. Generous basket of delicious, warm bread. Presentation very lovely. Excellent prices!

Food was ok. The vistiera were a bit loud. Restaurant is now half the size it was in 2013 Not the best restaurant in Iasi but worth a visit on a long stay to sample Romanian food

The waiters are cold ,the food not ok at all,restaurant not very clean,price vs quality not good! Never comming back!

The restaurant is clean enough and the tables well laid out. The menus are in English and Romanian which is just as well as the staff dont speak english. The food was not what we ordered from the menu, we ordered 200g steak but where presented with three slices of roast beef hid under a large amount of sauce. The service was extremely poor, the restaurant was empty but the waitress gave the impression we were an inconvenience to her. I wont be going back.

“Cornelius” is a nice (and quite large - two floors, open view from the upper floor) restaurant, with an impressive menu – way more options than at a Canadian chain restaurant. You can have even venison or pheasant, but for a NON-fine cuisine I’d recommend the (very rustic) “tochitura moldoveneasca” (and not diet-y either).Each visit I’ve also tried the grilled (pork) brains. Service was great but at the time the restaurant was pretty empty, I can’t comment how it goes when crowded.Warning: smoking might haunt you everywhere in Romania (except airports now), there might be a separate non-smoking salon but don’t count on its existence or being really smoke-free (anti-smoking restrictions in Romania are often just lip service to EU regulations).On weekends it might be reserved for weddings, best bet is on weekdays.Prices are rather medium/low for a travelIer from Western Europe/North America, different story if local wages.
