Heerlijk echt Kretenzer restaurant . Ivm Pasen hadden ze een vegan menu, maar de gerechten waren heerlijk. Normaal ook heerlijke vleesgerechten en zeker betaalbaar.

Великолепное обслуживание и кухня достойна звёзды Мишлена из-за своей простоты и вкуса. У персонала великолепное чувство юмора. Ощущение,как в древнегреческих легендах, где путник после долгой дороги вкушает пищу богов!!! Привет из Кишинева :)
