Faustos has good sandwiches. Even though it was a bit difficult the first time to make a choice My romanian wasn't good enough to read the menu.. so i just pointed at something that looked vaguely familair in name. Luckily the second time there was someone who spoke a bit of english.. This was last year. The menu has been updated and there is a whole lot more on it now. It isn't my favorite place except in summer when you can sit on the terrace and watch everybody going by. Especially since inside one can usually see (older) men eyeing the women. It is a sort of ' dating' place for this. So just go when it is either almost empty or when the terrace is out.
And it also has this nice terras from which you have a view of calea republicii and the piata regele ferdinand
Daca ti-e tare foame de o pizza sau orice alta mincare gatita, atunci un drum la Capitoliu este mai mult decit recomandat. Mare atentie, totusi, in timp ce iti savurezi mincarea sa nu iti aterizeze de undeva de sus o pisica neagra tare lacoma, dar tare simpatica.
bere ciuc in combinatie cu pizza este incomparabil de buna mmmmm
Actualy the coffeeshop is in the basement of a memorial house ("Ady Endre" museum). It was renovated last year and you can spend nice time along a good coffee cup.
On the center there are many elegant restaurants , old fashion Vienesse stile , but I will sugest rather some of the new small restaurants ...ask the locals about them .
When in Oradea there is a great little coffee shop/bakery on the main strip 2 blocks down on the left going away from the theatre. Sure there are more updated coffee houses with new machines and trendy atmosphers. But if you owant a feeling of history and a great cup of espresso....hit this spot. They also have the best creamesh in town and Americans will think of it as a Nepolian. This is great because it is creamy with a hint of lemon in it. The best I have had . I stopped in daily during my visit.
Creamesh ( custard filling with filo like top and bottom) YUMMY!!!!!!
Not really a restaurant more of a bar, I was really hungry when I got here, and a goulash, main meal and beer later I was well fed. They show UEFA cup football here too.
