Eating out - Restaurant Iguana, Tulcea, Romania

The food was good but a little bit too salty for our taste.

The restaurant is not in the city center, but it is worth a visit. It is a self-service restaurant, with several soups and several main courses each day. This means that the food is done on that day.

Highly recommended.

In summary, this is the perfect choice for Tulcea.

Eating out - Restaurant Central, Slobozia, Romania

The food was awful. The lemon natural juice was actually some chemical powder mixed with water.
