Breakfast served on the covered terrace beside the pool at Pensiunea Elis

Terrace dining

The restaurant is part of the guesthouse rather than an add-on.

You can eat every meal here without driving anywhere. The cooking leans Mediterranean with local Romanian and European dishes, and the terrace is where nearly everyone chooses to sit once the evening cools.

The day atthe restaurant

One kitchen, from first coffee to the last cocktail on the terrace.

MorningBreakfast
Breakfast is served every morning and is the easiest meal of the day to take outside. Coffee comes from the coffee house side of the bar, and the kitchen is used to guests wandering down late after a swim.
Late morningBrunch
On slower days the kitchen runs brunch into the early afternoon, which suits anyone who spent the first part of the morning in the pool rather than at a table.
MiddayLunch
Lunch is Mediterranean, local Romanian and broader European cooking, served in the dining room or on the terrace. Vegetarian dishes are available on request. Meals for children are prepared on request at an extra charge.
AfternoonHigh tea and coffee
Between meals the bar keeps going as a coffee house, with high tea in the afternoon for guests who prefer the terrace to the sun deck.
EveningCocktail hour and dinner
Cocktail hour starts before dinner and runs on the terrace while the light goes. Dinner is the fuller menu of the day. Wine and champagne are available at an extra charge.
Any timeRoom service
Room service brings food up from the same kitchen, which is useful on an arrival evening or when a day on the river has run long.

A note on extras: children's meals, wine and champagne carry an additional charge, and vegetarian dishes are best mentioned when you sit down so the kitchen can plan them properly.

Rooms include the run of the restaurant, from first coffee to the last cocktail above the river.
