Lloyd - Temišvar

Za vikend mi se nešto nije ostajalo u Beogradu, te sam rešila da posetim jedan grad u komšiluku i isprobam njihove specijalitete. Jedan poziv mom dragom bio je dovoljan, da se kroz par sati nađemo u gradu Temišvaru.

Temišvar

Temišvar me je oduševio svojom arhitekturom, te ga ne zovu bez razloga Mali Beč. Od tri najveća trga u ovom gradu, mi smo se odlučili za ručak na Trgu Pobede, u restoranu Lloyd.

Lloyd

Restoran Lloyd je jedan od najpoznatijih restorana u Temišvaru, i vrlo često je meta naših turista, verovatno iz razloga što ovaj restoran drži Srbin. Ceo restoran podseća me na stare beogradske kafane, i najviše bih mogla da ga uporedim sa  čuvenim restoranom Proleće. 

Osim što imaju meni na rumunskom i engleskom, tu je i meni na srpskom jeziku. Ovde možete da pojedete veliki izbor kuvanih jela, jela sa roštilja, razne specijalitete u kojima se vidi uticaj okolnih država na rumunsku kuhinju, a pod tim prvenstveno mislim na Mađarsku i Srbiju. U skladu sa tim ja sam se odlučila za Paprikaš sa palentom (RON 35), a moj dragi za srpski klasik - Karađorđevu šniclu (RON 29).

Paprikaš sa palentom bih opisala kao rumunsku verziju mađarskog gulaša. Meso je bilo fantastično spremljeno i začinjeno, i bilo je servirano sa palentom i jajima na oko, što mi je na prvu loptu izgledalo kao neobičan spoj, međutim ubrzo sam promenila mišljenje. Karađorđeva šnicla bila je servirana uz Pomfrit (RON 7) koji se dodatno plaća što je malo bez poente, jer niko u restoranu neće naručiti klot Karađorđevu šniclu. Za salatu uzeli smo Pečene paprike (RON 9) jer je to jedna od mojih omiljenih salata. Porcije su zaista ogromne, i nećete ostati gladni, a što se tiče usluge zaista su i više nego ljubazni i uslužni.

Od mene sve preporuke, pa ako ste u poseti Temišvaru pravac u Lloyd na jedan obilan obrok!

This weekend, I didn't feel like staying in Belgrade, so I decided to visit a city in the neighborhood and try their specialties. One call to my significant other was enough, and a couple of hours later, we arrived in the city of Timisoara.

Timisoara

Timisoara impressed me with its architecture, I get why people call it Little Vienna. Out of the three biggest city squares , we decided to have lunch at Victory Square, in Lloyd Restaurant.

Lloyd

Lloyd Restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in Timisoara, it is often a target place of tourists from our country, probably because the owner of this restaurant is a Serb. The whole restaurant reminds me of old Belgrade taverns, and I could compare it with our famous restaurant of Proleće.

The menu comes in Romanian, English and Serbian. Here you can try a wide selection of cooked dishes, grilled dishes, various specialties in which you see the influence of neighboring countries on Romanian cuisine, especially between Hungary and Serbia. Accordingly, I ordered Stew with polenta (RON 35), and my significant other chose the Serbian classic - Karadjordje's steak (RON 29).

I would describe the Stew with polenta as the Romanian version of Hungarian goulash. The meat was beautifully cooked and spicy, served with polenta and sunny-side up eggs, which looked like an unusual mix to me at first, but I changed my mind soon . The Karadjordje's steak was served with Fries (RON 7), which isn't included in the price of the dish, you pay for it separately, that's a bit ridiculous, since nobody would order a plain Karadjordje's steak in a restaurant. We ordered some Roasted peppers (RON 9) because those are one of my favorite salads. Portions are really huge, you won't leave hungry, and as for the service, they are more than friendly and helpful.

I highly recommend this restaurant, so if you find yourself in Timisoara, be sure to visit Lloyd  and have a good meal!

Intergalactic diner

Ovaj put vas vodimo na jedno skroz originalno mesto, jedini pravi diner u Beogradu - Intergalactic diner!

Svi smo gledali američke filmove u kojima sednete za sto za kojim se nalazi jukebox, ubacite novčić i uživate u omiljenim pesmama, dok listate meni posećenog mesta, koji se uglavnom sastoji od burgera. Intergalactic diner je baš to - doza Amerike u Beogradu.

Nalaze se na dve lokacije u gradu, na Vračaru, u ulici Internacionalnih brigada i na granici Zemuna i Novog Beograda, u okviru hotela Jugoslavija. Oba lokala rade 24h i za sebe kažu da kod njih možete da pojedete najbolje burgere u univerzumu. Vrlo smela reklama, a mi smo odlučile da kao gastro patrola ispitamo istinitost ove tvrdnje. 

Kad zakoračite ovde, imaćete osećaj kao da ste zakoračili u američki film iz '50-ih godina: crno bele pločice na podu, redovi crveno belih kauča između kojih je već pomenuti sto sa jukebox-om, uz nezaobilazni veliki šank i pogled na kuhinju. Na stolu se nalazi i meni i salvete u crvenom stalku, takođe jedan od detalja koji smo viđali na televiziji.

Pošto im u nazivu stoji da posluju na nivou galaksija, nazivi jela su svemirski. Tako od burgera možete da pojedete npr. Big Bang, kolutiće luka Saturn rings, salatu Star chick, ili kosmičke palačinke.

Meni se sastoji od burgera (pilećih i junećih), hot dogova, rebaraca, salata i deserta. Svakako je najveći izbor burgera, koje možete da naručite kao manju ili veću porciju, u skladu sa mesom i sastojcima koje preferirate, a imaju i vegetarijansku varijantu. Mi smo se odlučile za Smokey Galaxy (RSD 415 mala porcija) i Original (RSD 495 velika porcija). Smokey Galaxy čine grilovano juneće meso, čedar sir, grilovani luk, woodsmoke sos i iceberg salata. Original se sastoji od grilovanog junećeg mesa, iceberg salate, paradajza, crvenog luka, krastavca, majoneza, senfa i kečapa. Uz svaki burger dobijate kao prilog pomfrit i dve činijice sa kečapom i majonezom. Ne znam koji bih izraz mogla da upotrebim za ove burgere a da se ne ponavljam. Ovo je prava eksplozija ukusa. Sveže, ukusno meso i lepinje, pravi odabir sastojaka i porcija posle koje ne ostajete gladni, čine raj za moj hedonistički duh. Smatram da će svako da se složi sa mnom, jer po mom mišljenju, ovde će vam se svideti svaki burger, jedina je razlika što ćete odabrati sastojke po svojoj meri, ali zadovoljstvo je zagarantovano. Jednom drugom prilikom smo poručile Cheese fries (RSD 285), tj. pomfrit sa tečnim čedar sirom i mariniranim halapenjo papričicama preko. Zadovoljstvo je bilo podjednako kao i za burgere.

Cene na prvi pogled deluju malo veće, ali su skroz opravdane, tako da možete da pojedete burger za 350 RSD, ili 1000 RSD, sve u skladu sa željama i mogućnostima, a bićete siti za koji god da se odlučite.

Gosti su pretežno mlađi ljudi, proseka oko 30 godina, naročito u noćnim satima, kad se vraćaju iz izlaska, ali ni stariji nisu retkost. Usluga je odlična, pa ako imate bilo kakvu nedoumicu oko jelovnika, ili jukebox-a, ne ustručavajte se da ih pitate da vam razreše nedoumice.

Želite li ukusne burgere i drugačiji, originalni ambijent? Pravo u Intergalactic diner!

This time, we're taking you to one original retaurant, the only real diner in Belgrade - Intergalactic Diner!

We all watched American movies, in which you sit down at the table where there is a jukebox, you insert a coin and enjoy your favorite songs while looking at the menu of that popular place, which consists mostly of burgers. Intergalactic Diner is just that - a dose of America in Belgrade.

You can find them in two locations in the city, at Vračar, Internacionalnih brigada Street and at the border of Zemun and Novi Beograd, within the hotel Yugoslavia. Both diners are opened 24 hours and they say that you can eat the best burgers in the Universe at their place. Very bold advertising, so, as Gastro police, we decided to visit them and judge the veracity of their claims.


When you enter, you'll feel like you've stepped into an American movie from the '50s: black and white floor tiles, sets of red and white diner booths and between them the already mentioned tables with jukeboxes on them, with the inevitable large bar and the view of the kitchen. On the table you can find a menu and napkins in a red stand, also one of the details that we saw on TV.

Intergalactic Diner - interior

Since their name suggest that they operate between galaxies, their dishes have space names. That being said, you can order e.g. a Big Bang burger, Saturn onion rings, Star Chick salad or Cosmic pancakes.

The menu consists of burgers (chicken and beef), hot dogs, ribs, salads and desserts. The largest is the selection of burgers, you can choose between small and large portion, in accordance with the meat and the ingredients you prefer, but they also offer a vegetarian option. We ordered Smokey Galaxy (RSD 415 small portion) and Original (RSD 495 large portion). Smokey Galaxy consists of grilled beef, Cheddar cheese, grilled onions, woodsmoke sauce and iceberg lettuce. Original consists of grilled beef, iceberg lettuce, tomato, red onions, cucumber, mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup. As a side dish with each burger you get ketchup and mayo in two little bowls. I can't think of the expression I could use for these burgers without repeating myself. This is a real explosion of taste. Fresh, tasty meat and buns, perfect choice of ingredients and a portion after which you won't be hungry, all that forms a paradise for my hedonistic spirit. I think everyone will agree with me, because in my opinion, you'll like every burger here, the only difference is that you'll choose the ingredients you prefer, but it's guaranteed you'll be satisfied. On another occasion, we ordered Cheese fries (RSD 285), ie. French fries with  Cheddar cheese sauce and marinated jalapenos on top. The satisfaction was the same as for burgers.

At first glance, the prices seem a bit higher, but they are totally justified, so you can eat a burger from 350 RSD to 1000 RSD, in accordance with your wishes and possibilities, and your stomach will be full no matter which one you choose.

The guests are mostly younger people, about 30 years of age, especially late in the evening, when they come here after a night out, but you can encounter the older people as well. The service is excellent, so if you have any doubts about the menu or the jukebox, do not hesitate to ask them for help.

Want delicious burgers and a different, original ambiance? Visit Intergalactic Diner!

Via del gusto

U srcu Beograda, u Knez Mihailovoj ulici, smešten je već skoro 15 godina restoran pod nazivom - Via del gusto. Iako mi se nalazi u komšiluku, tek nedavno sam se odlučila ovde da svratim. I naravno da prenesem svoje utiske vama!

Via del gusto

Baštu ovog restorana ni po čemu ne mogu da izdvojim, sasvim klasična i standardna za ovaj deo grada. Verovatno zato što me spoljašnji izgled restorana nikada nije privukao nisam ni svratila ovde tolike godine. Sve dok jednog dana kada sam se vraćala sa posla, nisam slučajno provirila u unutrašnjost restorana i ostala očarana. Kada uđete u restorana, imate utisak kao da se nalazite u nekom lokalnom restoranu u Veneciji. Iscrtane žaluzine po zidovima, motivi Italije, stolice u duhu starih italijanskih restorana neki su od detalja enterijera koji će vas jednostavno kupiti na licu mesta, ako ste romantik kao i ja.

Via del gusto - enterijer

Jelovnik je mediteranskog karaktera sa akcentom na italijansku hranu, što je i za očekivati s obzirom na naziv samog restorana. Mi smo se ovog puta odlučile da zaobiđemo njihove italijanske specijalitete, i da probamo palačinke. Ja kao ljubitelj slanih, naručila sam Palačinku sa kulenom, kačkavaljem, pavlakom i barenim jajetom (RSD 350), a Angie kao ljubitelj slatkih odlučila se za Palačinku sa eurokremom, plazmom i bananom (RSD 330). Moram da naglasim da izbor palačinki uopšte nije preterano maštovit, s obzirom na to šta sve od namirnica pruža Italija, ali dobro.

Sama usluga restorana nije me nešto preterano oduševila. Dugo smo čekale da budemo uslužene, a samo jelo smo dobile za manje od desetak minuta. I odmah mi je bilo jasno da su palačinke samo podgrejane u mikrotalasnoj. Poslužene su skoro hladne, sa vrlo oskudnim sadržajem. Jedino što je bilo ok je način na koji su dekorisane.

Slatka palačinka

Gosti restorana su pretežno stranci, i skoro uvek se traži mesto više. Via del gusto iliti Ulica ukusa definitivno nije opravdala svoj naziv i moram da priznam da sam očekivala mnogo više od ovog restorana. Ukoliko vas pak put nanese ovde, definitivno zaobiđite palačinke, i okušajte sreću sa pizzama i podelite svoje utiske sa nama.

______________________________________________________________________

In the heart of Belgrade, in Knez Mihailova Street, located there for almost 15 years, there is the restaurant named - Via del gusto. Although it's in my neighborhood, I just recently decided to visit it. And of course, to share my impressions with you!

Via del gusto

The garden of this restaurant doesn't stand out from the rest, it's quite classic and standard for this part of the city. I think the exterior is the main reason why it took me this long to visit this restaurant. Until one day, while returning from work, I accidentally peeked into the restaurant and it fascinated me. When you enter the restaurant, you feel like you are in some local restaurant in Venice. Blinds painted on the walls, the motives of Italy, the chairs like in old Italian restaurants, those are just some of the interior details that will simply enchant you, if you're a romantic like me.

Via del gusto - interior

The Mediterranean menu with an emphasis on Italian cuisine, which is expected given the name of the restaurant. This time we decided to skip their Italian specialties, and try the crepes. As a fan of savory ones, I ordered Crepe with kulen, cheese, sour cream and boiled egg (RSD 350) and Angie, as a fan of sweet one, ordered Crepe with eurocrem, Plazma ground biscuits and banana (RSD 330). I must say that the choice of crepes is not very diverse, considering all the ingredients Italy provides, but never mind.

The service of the restaurant didn't impress me. We waited for a while to be served, and we got the food in less than ten minutes. I immediately realized that the crepes were only reheated in microwave. They were almost cold, with very poor filling. The only thing that was ok was the way they were decorated.

Guests of the restaurant are mostly tourists, and it's always hard to get a table. Via del gusto aka Street of taste, definitely didn't live up to its name and I must admit that I expected a lot more from this restaurant. If the road takes you here, skip the crepes, try your luck with pizzas and share your impressions with us.
