A nice place to be (sometimes, most of times)

For over 3 years now I visit almost regularly, but always with pleasure, the Marriott hotel in Bucharest.

Most of the time i have business meetings there, but in between these meeting I take a hike in the restaurants and bars there.

Today I went to the restaurant named El Bacha, a place where you can taste the food of Lebanon, the one before the bombs and of course the oneduring and after the recent bombings.

The place is conveniently located at the entrance in Marriott hotel so you can stop for a while just before entering the luxurious JW place.

Of course, nothing you could wish from a Lebanese restaurant is not missing: nice food, bad customer service (they definitely need to work on their HR capabilities), slow invoicing, kitchy decoration and, last but not least, the slow service.

The minuses however are so overwhelmed by the quality of the food, that you still can tip the porr skilled waiters.

Today we enjoyed the7-8 starters like never before (don't know why, although it was 4 pm and no special reason to be there apart from being very hungry) and we ended the gargatuesque lunch with a mixed grill (which for the past 2-3 times was almost a disaster - cool down the fire guys, we just don't like the burned food !!).

Bill ? 160 RON for 3 (with no alcohol to double the figuires). 1 Euro = 3.5 RON.

Sometimes I dine out.

Sometimes this is a potential risky thing to do if you do not know the places in Bucharest. The same goes for any other city in this world.

I thought one might be interested to learn a few things which could prove interesting about Bucharest's hideouts.

I hope the owners of the places I am going to feature will not supplement my plate next time I visit their establishment with some unexpected things.
