Pensiunea Passion

The room is okay for what it costs, and the photos make it clear what’s good and what isn’t. The service, though, is bad. In Romanian, we call that “sictir”, boredom and looking at someone like they’re gross.

The food, service, and atmosphere are great, and I’d recommend the seafood tagliatelle. It’s a little fancy for some, but worth trying as a couple or with a small group. The soups are decent and the dishes are good, though everything is a bit pricey. You can eat outside under a roof. Parking is tricky, with only a few spots around, so walking or taking a taxi is a better bet.

The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean with very good food. I’d happily come back whenever I need to.

I came across the place by chance and found the food very well prepared, with a decent range of dishes. It had a cozy feel, surprisingly few people at lunchtime, and low prices. The surroundings are the one downside, with apartment blocks and a busy road nearby. It’s probably nicer in summer with the two terraces.
