Restaurant Ralet - Iaşi

Nettes kleines Feinschmeckerrestaurant. Viele rumänischeWeine auf der Karte. Die Bedienung ist sehr nett und dasEssen von sehr guter Qualität. Für rumänische Verhältnisse hervorragend. Die Leute geben sich Mühe und das Essen gehtstilmässig in die Nouvelle cuisine. Man darf das natürlich noch nicht mit dem Standart des Westens vergleichen. Trotzdem sehrempfehlenswert.

Local work colleagues took us here for dinner. Great local wines, huge appetizer meat platter, quaint setting that appears to have been a private residence in the past. Steak with pepper sauce was excellent

Went for a family party. New chef - to be congratulated!. Excellent entrees. Excellent main courses. Very good and prompt service. Used the garden room with access in the garden for after drinks. Perfect sunny weather - and for such days the garden is perfect

I had high expediencies when I chose this restaurant for a business dinner and they managed to satisfy them in a 99 percentage. Very good and exclusively food, carefully cooked and with a very nice presentation. But they managed to overcook the asparagus :)Very beautiful and relaxing terrace where you can enjoy a very good wine from their offering menu. Recommendation for the management: the waiter should not try that hard to persuade you to get a certain plate. They were too insistent.

After a lot of years, we had the time and the chance to revisit Iasi for a two days and, overall, it was once again a very good experience - nice art and historic sites, very nice people, good atmosphere, etc. As usual, we looked also for a good place to eat and a friend back home in Bucharest recommended us Ralet. It was a wonderful experience from the beginning to the end. All personnel was very nice and professional while Loredana, the chef, was really nice spending few minutes with us and explaining the dishes background. Best of all however was the food which was a real outstanding gourmet experience. A true discovery in terms of quality gourmet food not only for Iasi but also by reference to Bucharest. Innovative and daring dishes perfectly assorted with the wine recommended by the chef. We were three and had as mains the local beef with truffles, the tuna and the mushroom based vegetarian, all really impressive. The desserts were also amazing. The atmosphere is also very nice, with good music and paintings of the local visual artist Felix Aftene surrounding the tables. I am not sure there is enaugh public in Iasi for such a restaurant but I hope the owners and the chef will persist in what they are doing as they are doing it at a high level while Iasi and its visitors deserve it.
