Authentic medieval restaurant with an impressive building unique in the military, ecclesiastical or civil architecture from South-Eastern Europe, being for five centuries witness to varius events of historical and national interest, taking several uses depending on the needs and interests of those times as follow years;1504 - Built like,,St.George Barbican Gate or The Gate’s Tower " for the medieval fortress.1599- On 1November this year, the Barbican opens its gates and receives Michael the Brave the Prince of Wallachia achieving the political union of Transylvania, Moldova and Walachia.1715 -,,The Round Gunpowder depot'' (The Armory) of the new Citadel.1849 -,,The Citadel Mill ''.1968 -,,The Cellar'', was inaugurated by Nicolae Ceauşescu.1989 - In the Revolution,it becomes a,,hiding-place’’for members of ,,Securitatea” from the people’s rage.2003 -,,PUB 13 "was the first private investment in the Citadel,after seven month of restauration. For connoisseurs ... its ambiance,place and concept mean more than a space where drink marvelously matches good food and fine music.The place gives you a noble feeling for it keeps the lost idea of noble par excellence, without titles and honors,only by discretions and openness,from the scent of the mulled wine to the appetizing dishes, very appealing to those in searchof the ancient atmosphere of knits and princ(ipl)es,witch they thought lost in the time-stained page of the history book. Who visit us will always be glad to come back to us, remembering that in the Alba Iulia Citadel there is a place witch cherishes history,tradition and contemporary people.We do not only talk wine and food,it is always more than that and it is always different…
The location is awesome, inside the Citadel walls. The room is decorated nicely with weapons, shields, coat of arms. The staff is very nice and they will answer your questions.
We tried the bean soup, which came served in an actual bread. You might find this type of serving in other locations in Romania. It was very good.
Second plates were wild mushroom with polenta and fried chicken with friend onions. While the chicken was average, the mushroom dish was really bad. It was not rotten or anything, however they might have used some ingredient that made for a weird taste.
Again the location is awesome and is an obvious choice when you visit the Citadel in Alba Iulia. I am not sure about the food, maybe it was a coincidence and made some bad choices on the food.

We arrived there because all the nice reviews online, but we were received very rude by the staff. They literally kicked us out because in an hour and a half they have a reservation. Which was completly understandfull but we only wanted to have a drink and then leave, as we only had 40 min to spend. So very very rude staff.

A delightful restaurant located inside Alba Carolina Citadel. The decor is mixed with antique pieces and modern ones, creating a eclectic atmosphere and a unique dining experience. In the kitchen we use only the best and freshest ingredients, chosen mainly from local producers and selected carefully.
În a ancient City you will be surprised to find a underground space, with original brick arches and quiet corners; nice paintings, old and new staff mixed, a huge fireplace and a very good Mann cooking for you the best mushroom soup and an incredible stake...

Am căutat și am testat, am întrebat și am cercetat și după mult timp am găsit preparatele perfecte. Ce înseamnă preparatul perfect?! Păi nimeni nu poate exprima în cuvinte senzația trăită în momentul în care gustă o mâncare care are textura ideală pentru că a fost gătită la o temperatură perfecta, ținută în cuptor doar cât să obțină frăgezimea ideală și chiar înainte să piardă din suculența și aroma specifică scoasă la aer - dar lângă așa ceva trebuie pus și o garnitură. Desigur, orez, cartofi, legume se găsesc peste tot - dar aceste garnituri trebuie tratate cu foarte mare atenție pentru că însoțesc preparatul perfect și nu trebuie să-l distragă, doar să însoțească gustul pe la fiecare papilă gustativă în parte. Un îndrumător al felului principal care trebuie să se ridice până la aceeași înălțime, dar să nu-l depășească, să nu-i preia triumful. Trebuie să acceptăm că după o așa petrecere a papilelor gustative trebuie pus un strat dulce acoperitor pentru o mai bună digestie - desertul perfect. Este adevărat că sunt multe posibilități, dar nimic nu se poate compara cu un strat subțire de brânză proaspătă de vaci învârtită prin griș după care să fie batjocorită cu vanilie și rom - toate aruncate într-o mare de pesmet. Ar fi chiar o dovadă de lipsă de respect să nu pui o marmeladă de la bunici lângă cu care să...socializeze . Toate ca toate, dar toate aceste preparate au un ingredient surpriză pe care ți-l zicem. Nici o frunză de coriandru, busuioc, rozmarin proaspete nu ar putea să dea un gust cum dă dragostea cu care se gătește .
great place for quick bite, the pub is fantastic well decorated the staff and the food was great i will return again
