Iasi Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Iasi
The large city of Iasi has been a cultural and political hub since the 15th century. Everything orbits the Golden Plateau, bookended by the Palace of Culture and Union Square, and packed to the brim with churches and palaces galore. Iasi has significant Jewish history. The first Yiddish-language newspaper was published here, and the 17th-century Great Synagogue is the oldest surviving synagogue in Romania.

As the name says, this restaurant is located in the hotel with the same name. It is decorated in American style with weapons and photos from Texas. Obviously, the menu contains exclusive American dishes, from salads, antlers, roast, soup, desserts. Also, the restaurant has a very beautiful Terrace that you can enjoy during the hot season. It's clean, good waiters, good food. Prices are above average but worth trying.

Fine and huge dishes may I add, a variety of international cuisine; beef steak is always yummy and seafood is fresh considering we are 300 miles form the sea side. No parking lot, so get a cab.

Been here as a couple. We enjoyed the food (which was heavenly), the music (not too loud, good quality), the honest and willing to help staff, the view (especially in the evening - with all the lights). I totally recommend it. It's a romantic place, also cozy and intimate. You can go there with your partner, or your friends and family. A worth-trying experience.

Very good location, right in the Palas area! The restaurant is very nice arranged inside, with attention fir details.
A huge meniu but I recommand the Lebanon specialities. Don't miss the pita made home, It is huge, tasty!
The serving is Ok, i can't complain. It's a nice restaurant to go if you want something good and special but it's not cheap! I ate in many restaurants in that area and I can say that i would choose this restaurant without any doubt!

Wish I could have got as far as eating to review the food. Found myself in Iasi with my wife in the middle of February. Was looking for a nice place to spend Valentine’s evening and found the restaurant on Tripadvisor. Was looking forward to it as they have a nice selection on the menu including Wyagu and Tbone plus I saw a few nice bottles of Barolo on the wine display. We were in the area on Monday morning so we decided to go and book a table for Wednesday night. Apparently they open at 11.30. At 11.20 we were outside looking at the menu board when two people of which one of them I assume was the manager walked past us, unlocked the premises and switched on the lights. At that point we were expecting a smile and a “how can I help” or at least eye contact - none of it happened they just slammed the door in our faces and locked it, basically a big YOU ARE NOT WELCOME. Someone should explain to them the meaning of the word hospitality - the clue is in the name... Needles to say we decided to take our custom elsewhere.

Grilling to perfection is not a goal, it's a MUST ! A wide variety of carefully selected meats including fish, seafood, chicken, pork & beef, prepared exclusively in Josper ovens, cold & hot starters, pastas and scrumptious desserts all served into a very modern ambient. We are an Urban Dining concept open daily from noon to midnight.

This is a modern and nice restaurant. The food is average, a little bit expensive for its quality. The staff is not so welcomed and a bit bored. I like the design and location for this restaurant but could be much better if they will change the staff attitude.

This is actually the restaurant inside Select Hotel. I checked in the hotel quite late and decided to have a quick bite before going to bed. I am not a big fan of hotel restaurants, but I was really pleasantly surprised in this case - very nice ambiance, excellent service and my salmon with broccoli was really tasty and presented in a very classy way. Yes, I was hungry, but I can make the difference.

Reviewed By DanyAlive - La Paz, Bolivia
The place had a Garden Which's from the begging it's great, the menu it's easy and simple. But first ask what they don't have. It's more easy like that. For the rest like i wrote. The menu has vegetarian, vegan options. And the staff it's helpful but the owner my god, better stays behind the bar. Recommended for short visits . And also the weekends it's crowded. Make sure to be early.
