Simbio: brunches all day long

I don’t enjoy the city center too much, particularly because I find myself in the description by Eugen Istodor, in his trilingual book on Lipscani: “It looks like a theatre setting, ready for a party which is always postponed: vintage scenery, wedding dresses, easy drugs, easy lovers, cheap and colorful gifts, antiques, crazy bicycles, all sorts of tea, ecological, organic, shawarma/kebab, mussels, nargileh, eccentricities, cool, small talk, euphoria, parties, drunk men, funny, takeaways, pubs and taverns for all pockets, but also an earthquake waiting around the corner, ready to turn everything to dust.”

But between all these colorful locations presented by the author, a brunch-café has appeared, serving mostly a variety of egg dishes for those who want to grab a bigger bite, from 10 am to the middle of the night.

If you are looking for a friendly place to chit-chat with your girlfriends while eating something fresh and healthy baked to order, this is almost the perfect spot. In this tiny and welcoming space that combines eclectic blue décor with a sense of intimacy, all-day breakfasts, tasty sandwiches, salads, as well as burgers and fries are to be tried, definitely with a fresh smoothie (from RON 11 to RON 14).

In terms of small bites, I tried the bruschettas at a private event, but I wasn’t very impressed either by the taste or the appearance. But if the frittata is familiar to you, I can say I had the best frittata with spinach and cherry tomatoes (RON 13) here, served in three bites with leaves of mixed salad, butter and bread.

For sweet lovers, The-Perfect-Way-To-End-a-Meal dessert is definitely the pear in spiced red wine with berry sauce (RON 11), but the muffins (RON 5) are also a good choice, especially when you are there only for tea (RON 9) or coffee (from RON 7 to RON 15).

One of the drawbacks of this place is the lack of varieties of bread offered, although they serve brunches all day long. It is a place set up for parties of two to four people, which makes it a bit difficult to settle if you are in a larger group.
