The Friendly Bear is one of those places where you feel both cozy, curious, the food is tasty and on top of that they serve so friendly, with a good attitude and seriousness to the customer experience. Read below why I think so and watch the short video to get an impression.

See ….

…. The restaurant has a nice courtyard, but it was cool in the evening and we snuck inside;

…. Very interesting interior, a little shabby, slightly underground, retro, with a really soft carpet on the wall and very cozy – predisposes to a delicious meal in a good atmosphere;

…. Insufficient light inside – the food is beautiful, looks tempting and deserves to be seen better. The photos, respectively, are also not very contrasting.

Feel ….

…. For a long time I had not come across such a pleasant service – with a smile, without pushing and formalities, and yet, with a serious attitude to the clients and their experiences;

…. The masks of the staff are tightly put on the face and nose – after the Chinese Meng Fu Yuen, where this was most strictly observed from my recent visits, here I put again an appreciative note.

 Hear ….

…. Great music – Buena Vista Social Club, other Caribbean music and jazz.

Movie watching time: 2:27 min.

Smell ….

…. Lightly smoked in the salad dressing with colorful cherry tomatoes, peppers and cheese- the aroma comes from roasted eggplant, made into a paste and thinly placed on the bottom of the bowl – Ingenious!

Taste ….

One of the most unique offers in a restaurant that I have come across in recent months  a lamb’s head !!!

…. Meat, brain and cheeks from the lamb’s head, lightly flavoured – very well roasted, terribly tasty!

…. Hummus – lightly sprinkled with butter fried with red pepper, served with toasted baguette!

…. Baked yellow cheese on a plate – crispy and very tasty!

…. Chicken wings – also crispy, marinated with soy sauce;

…. The Creme Brulee was a little crumby and not quite according to my high claims to a smooth texture.

I vote for a mandatory return to The Friendly Bear – I can’t even wait!
