Matei’s Liked Places

Matei P.: Excellent and authentic well priced Italian restaurant as you might find in the suburbs of a major Italian city. The numerous Italian customers confirm the quality!

Matei P.: Excellent German language k-12 education.

Matei P.: Excellent little wine with lots of well priced finds! Gregarious British owner who is passionate about his trade.

Matei P.: Cool minimalist design. Roastery, coffee shop and wine bar. Nice people. Definitely worth a visit!

Matei P.: Some of the best lawyers in town! And a contemporary art collection to match ))

Matei P.: Hole in the wall with charm!

Matei P.: The Bucharest "burger wars" are in full swing and this place is in the lead as far as "sit downs" are concerned! A solid, gourmet experience that is more than fairly priced. Fine selection of spirits.

Matei P.: We're not in bucharest anymore... ))

Matei P.: Make sure you order the burgers "medium-rare" otherwise they'll be to dry... Summer bonus: great little terrace!!

Matei P.: Feels like you're in Europe. Well executed restoration. And nice selection of books. Don't forget the cafe on top...

Matei P.: Hip Helsinki cafe serving Swedish coffee and tasty nibbles. A must.

Matei P.: Decor is authentic in that it looks like something that in the 90s would have passed for "luxury restaurant" in chisinau. Food average at best. Borsch is decent. They have beluga vodka, pity it's warm

Matei P.: Very good burgers. Other options also looked good. Small dinner with a bar countertop. Friendly Greek guy manning the grill. Could use some beer on tap. It fills up fast!

Matei P.: Pretty good Bulgarian food with a more international twist. There's better out there. Decor needs a rethink. But the waiters are friendly.

Matei P.: Pretty good Italian food. Crazy busy. Patchy service. Great location on the slope. Stupid expensive for what you get.

Matei P.: Fantastic decor and views. Good food and service. Stupidly expensive.

Matei P.: Nice sunny terrace. Half roaster chickens looked good but they ran out. Silly prices. Otherwise food is decent but nothing special.

Matei P.: There are better Mehanas out there. But not bad overall. In a nice part of the old town. Offers the usual selection. Service is friendly.

Matei P.: Probably the best authentic Mehana in and around Bansko. Great food. Fine atmosphere - nice log fires, obligatory folk music, etc. About 5-7 km outside of Bansko.

Matei P.: Spacious. New. Cheap. Away from the chaotic center. If you're lucky, nice views. A 5-10 min to the gondola. Wifi is nearly useless. Beware - this place will not age well... And bring stuff for kitchen

Matei P.: Pretty good food. Italian menu (pizza/pasta) with a smattering of Bulgarian dishes. Busy. Good service.

Matei P.: Confused service. They misunderstood I wanted the fois gras burger and brought me the normal one. Which was very subpar. Meat was grisly and of rather poor quality and overcooked.... Horrible ketchup

Matei P.: Best burgers in town. And great value too! But you have to follow them on facebook to see where they are...

Matei P.: Not bad. Decent food and breads.

Matei P.: Good food from Chisinau. Excellent value. Tasty pies. Borscht. Etc

Matei P.: One of the best wine selections in town - also by the glass. Great value as well, since they only add 20% to the retail price (they own an excellent little wine shop nearby). Very good food to boot!
