I stumbled upon this place by chance while looking for a pizzeria with a wood-fired oven.
I decided on pinsa.
Very good!!! Lots of original ideas for topping pizza and pinsa.
The menu is otherwise exciting, too!
Cloth napkins and clean restrooms…what more could you want? 😊
There were six of us at lunch. Unfortunately, there were two points of criticism.
1. The side salads could have tasted better.
2. My red cabbage had a very Christmassy, cinnamony flavor, which isn't to everyone's taste.
But overall, the meal was good.
Really good food and the ambiance and mood of this restaurant is very good. Top service and recommendations. Service attentiveness is very good. Friendly. Good food. Thank you ! 🎩
This review is an average of several impressions/experiences from the past few years, triggered by my "bad experience" the day before yesterday:
For many years, I have enjoyed visiting Augsburg, alone or with foreign guests, for day trips, while passing through Franconia, or for an overnight stay.
I always enjoy going to 'Vatra Brașov' because I mostly like the ambiance and food, or for takeaway (on the way home to southern Bavaria) and at various times of the day.
The food largely reflects the taste of the dishes my Romanian father (*1925 in Cluj-Napoca, grew up in Bucharest - 2019 in Munich) - with his father's Augsburg grandmother - as well as his Romanian-Romanian mother and her family cooked for me/us in Romania and the various countries in which we once lived. Mind you, there are many other, also very fine, but elaborate, dishes (such as Limbă or iepure cu Măsline, colivă, curcan cu caise si prune caramelizate, morun [fish], ...) that you can order in very few, if any, restaurants.
The service is usually friendly and prompt, but a waitress varies in her friendliness/mood/mood... which may also be due to my demands and questions, or the occasional staff shortage.
In the past, I have particularly noticed a young, tall, slim (temporary?) waiter at Easter and a short, young cook with limited German skills (my Romanian has become abysmal since the death [in 1997] of my grandmother from Breaza/Prahova... although I never formally learned it) who were very friendly and helpful.
The restaurant is easily, quickly, and conveniently accessible on foot from the old town center (even for me, who has a slight mobility disability); parking isn't always available near the restaurant.
What really annoyed me, however, last Sunday, when I wanted to eat at 'V. B.' in the evening, was that I was standing in front of a dark restaurant whose door (and NOT ON THE INTERNET, WHICH WOULD HAVE TAKEN 5 MINUTES!!!) said "...HOLIDAY until...". The website hadn't uploaded before and since, several times. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I was SO looking forward to the Romanian food, but for the first time, I hadn't called in advance, because the answering machine always said "There's still room for YOU...", or the person answering the phone barely spoke/understood German, or it was very loud in the restaurant.
So I had a delicious meal outside at the Vietnamese restaurant 'S. V.' around the corner.
When 'V. B.' reopens in September (?), I'll definitely call ahead! Until then, I'll have to make do with 'C. R.' at IKEA Eching.
Fine atmosphere and service but Pretty disappointing pizzas. The toppings sound nice, and some like truffle burrata are actually good. The grilled vegetables were oily, tasteless and included cheap black olives. The pizzas themselves tasted like the ones from the supermarket. Cheap chess, tasteless dough and hardly any real sugo. For a restaurant that goes for an authentic Italian vibe, pretty disappointing!
A pub brewery located in a former slaughterhouse in Augsburg, serving Hasen beer on tap and brewery-style dishes. When the weather is nice, you can sit in the beer garden outside the pub. The service was prompt and friendly. We'd gladly return.
The restaurant is very cozy and quaint. The food was delicious. The price was a bit higher.
The male server was very attentive and very friendly. The female server who brought us the food was very listless and unfriendly. Hence, only 4 points.
Great atmosphere. Attentive, friendly service. Today was five birthdays. The waitress came with a birthday candle and music for the "birthday child." The food came quickly. It was delicious. Dessert had a good selection, also very tasty.
I'm Italian, and even though it doesn't seem like it, I have a great knowledge of Indian culinary culture, as it's my absolute favorite. I've been to so many Indian restaurants in Italy, and this one beats them all hands down. When I tried their butter chicken with rice and naan, I almost cried because it was so good. Plus, the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Congratulations, really!
