lunch

Post available in English and Romanian

A venit si vremea calduroasa, perfecta pentru plimbari lungi si relaxante. Asa ca, dupa ce am batut centrul Bucurestiului in lung si in lat am decis sa iau o pauza de pranz la The Barrel.

Vremea era perfecta, asa ca am luat loc pe terasa primitoare. Atmosfera misto, de vara, angajati amabili si saritori si turisti peste tot in jurul meu. Mai-mai sa cred ca am aterizat in vreo metropola vestica.

Meniul e aratos si mancarea nu a dezamagit. Patronii localului s-au orientat spre mancarea britanica si au ales bine. Daca nici englezii nu mai stiu ce si cum sa manance … Preturile sunt ok pentru Centrul Vechi al Bucurestiului, mai mult, exista si o oferta pentru mesele de pranz. Eu m-am aruncat la o salata mediteraneana si am ales bine. Printre altele, salata continea si branza calda, rumenita. Am mers apoi pe oferta de pranz, muschiulet de porc marinat, servit cu cartofi prajiti si salata verde. Yam! Aici patronii au lasat englezismele de-o parte, prezentarea a fost suta la suta romaneasca. Totul a mers bine de tot alaturi de un pahar de bere. Cheers mates!

The warm weather is finally here, it’s perfect for taking long and relaxing walks. After I’ve visited Bucharest’s Old Town, I’ve stopped for a lunch break at The Barrel.

The weather was very hot, so I took a seat on the welcoming terrace. Hip atmosphere, nice employees, and tourists all around me. I almost thought I’m in a western European city.

The Menu looks good and the food didn’t disappoint us. Most of the food is British inspired and the prices are good. They even have a lunch special offer. My first choice was the Mediterranean salad, which contained warm grilled cheese. Then I’ve tried the lunch special: marinated pork with fries and salad. Yam! This time, the plate looked 100 % of Romanian inspiration. All of these accompanied by a glass of beer. Cheers mates!
