Although it looks quite mainstream, I have to give it 4.5 stars because it's indeed the best in the area. We ate there several times, all 3 meals and the service was always great. Monday night, after going to 3 other restaurants that closed before closing time because "they didn't have clients for hours", we've tried our luck once again at Ancuța, as it was 1h before closing time. It was opened and had our dinner. With the food, it can be great or underwhelming, depending on what you order.

1. Pomana porcului was excellent, hot and delicious, not greasy and the pickles were perfect.
2. Papanașii are indeed the best in Bușteni. The portion is really big, so unless you are very hungry, split one with a friend. I usually chose the sour cherry jam. To my disappointment, it was mostly jelly/very little fruits but decent taste. Next time we chose blueberries and it was way better!
3. The beans soup was delicious and didn't need any taste adjustment.
4. Breakfast with sunny eggs, sausage, fries and tomatoes "salad" with cheese was good. It's actually just a cut tomato without any dressing or seasoning. Overall it was good!
5. Palinca is great.
6. Tonight I ate tripe soup.. Or tried to. If a foreign tourist would serve it, he probably wouldn't eat it because it's blant to say the least. I know how to cook it, so after a few adjustments with sourcream, salt and vinegar, I've made it somewhat edible... Still left half in the bowl, even if I was still hungry. After so many good experiences, I left really sad. Also, please change that vinegar! I recommend it because it's one of the best restaurants here but they can surely improve some things.
