This is a bit of an odd spot, a restaurant for communist nostalgia! The food is super cheap but very good. Mostly traditional Romanian dishes served in a place in which time has stopped 28 years ago. Even the waiters seem from that time.

Gușterița
A Saxon village within the city of Sibiu, with a beautiful fortified church.
Strada Cetății
Strada CetățiiA street you have to see... I won't tell you more.
A place you have to see! It was built in the style of a Byzantine basilica, inspired by Hagia Sophia, with the main spires influenced by Transylvanian church architecture and Baroque elements.
Work, coordinated by city architect Iosif Schussnig, began in 1902 and was finished in 1904, when the copper roof was done. The plan, by Virgil Nagy and Iosif Kamner of Budapest, was chosen from among designs submitted by 31 mainly Austrian and Hungarian architects. On 13 December 1904, the four bells were blessed and placed in the two main spires (during World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Army melted the three bells in the western spire for use as cannons; these were not replaced until 1926). The iconostasis and kliros were then manufactured at Constantin Babic's firm in Bucharest; electric lighting was also installed. The iconostasis (of gilt carved wood) and dome (showing Christ Pantocrator flanked by angels) were painted by Octavian Smigelschi, from the nearby village of Ludoș.
