Discover this place

Restaurant The President, located at Bulevardul Lacul Tei, București, offers a charming dining experience with a scenic view by the lake. Guests have praised the restaurant for its quick service and delightful food. The chef’s skills shine through, especially with specialties like duck with mango sauce, noted for being exceptional and worth the slightly higher price. However, there are some areas for improvement; several reviews mention that service could be more attentive, and the pricing seems steep compared to similar venues.

The ambiance extends outdoors with a clean pool area equipped with showers and sunbeds, catering particularly well for families, although the water can be a bit chilly. While some visitors appreciated the chance to enjoy a meal alongside poolside relaxation, others expressed disappointment about the absence of a nearby bar during their visit.

Overall, Restaurant The President presents a solid option for casual dining or social gatherings, marred only by minor service hiccups. Its unique location and tasty offerings, however, make it a delightful choice for locals and tourists alike.

Restaurant The President is praised for its scenic lakeside location and well-maintained facilities, including a clean pool with separate areas for children. The culinary offerings receive positive remarks, particularly for their flavorful dishes and occasional chef’s specialties, appealing to those seeking a refined dining experience despite slightly higher prices. The terrace and function room facilities provide a pleasant setting for various occasions, such as meetings or celebrations. However, some guests note that the lake’s view is partially obscured and service can be inconsistent, with suggestions for improved staff presence, especially around the pool and bar areas. Overall, the restaurant is regarded as a tasteful and inviting venue that shows steady improvement over time.

This review is for the pool only. It is a nice pool, clean, with showers outside, a lot of sunbeds, also there is one pool separately for the kids too (but not babies, around 4-9 years) but the water is quite cold. You can order food and drinks. Pasta and pancakes were very good. This year the entrance is 80 lei from monday until friday and 100 lei in weekends. They don't have special entrance price for kids but probably because adults are preferred. Overall a nice experience.

A decent place to have a meeting with the friends in a summer evening. Although I liked better the way the previous restaurant (Anatolia), this restaurant is making good steps to improve. The view of the lake is obscuredby trees, to hide the abandoned pier and the not soclean waterThe service could be better, we felt almost abandoned at some point. The prices are too high for what is being offered, and definitely higher compared to similar quality places. The small swimming pool could be a plus.

Nicely placed by the lake, with a neat terrace and sporting quick service and good food, President is great for a cold drink, a meal or a date. Also, a (payed) parking is available, if arrived by car

Nice restaurant with a view over the lake. They have very tasty food. Their chef must be really good because they also cook some specialties which are not in the menu. My husband had duck with mango sauce which was exceptional. It's a bit more expensive than the average but totally worth it.

The pool is great, they have showers outside and also inside. Also we tried the restaurant and the food was tasty. The only thing that bothered me was that they didn't have a bar near the pool or at least it wasn't open that day. They need more staff for the bar for sure.

So quiet today (Thursday). Fabulous gem in Bucharest. Great service and nice cocktails even if not complex ones. Didn't have any food so cannot comment on this. I'm definitely tempted to do a couple of kilometres swim. Maybe tomorrow.
