The evening we arrived in Sibiu, we went to a steak restaurant my girlfriend had taken me to about 4 years earlier. I remembered fabulous steaks and great prices. It's called the Benjamin Steak Bar. This time it was a bit variable, not helped by a snotty waiter. My steak dinner was awesome tho, lovely T Bone, fries, and creamed spinach with a fried egg.
I had remembered pricing - 4 years ago - being surprisingly reasonable (about £15 for a big steak meal like the one above) but inflation has hit and prices seemed to have trebled. Still pretty good value but not the bargain price of 4 years ago!
The next day, we had the rest day in Sibiu. Once the bikes had been washed, and the clothing through the washing machine it was time to check out the delights of Sibiu.
Of course we started with a beer!
And we can thoroughly recommend "Ribs & Beer" - they have their own brewery, and served great beer, and good portions of decent food at good prices
To finish off, we had to have a local dessert called Papanasi (pronounced Papanache). It's like a doughnut base, freshly made, and covered in a fruit puree and local cheese (don't think cheese in the UK sense of the word, it's more like a yoghurt or creme freche)... delicious
