“ We had a great evening at Gargantua Park with a very pleasant and calm atmosphere, and absolutely impecable service - Andrei, who served our table offered an exemplary service, quick and proper, polite and prompt. The food was very good with one exception of tuna, which was bit dry, but the rest (steak, pasta, starters) were great. Will definitely return here again. ”
“ We dined at Gargantua two times in a week. It excels at ambiance and food presentation. Being in the park, the little ones can go to playground which is safe as they don't need to cross any street. The staff is very attentive although at times slow. The menu has a good variety of dishes and wines. Definitely I will go again. Recommended. ”
“ Great experience! The food was delicious – full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. What truly made the evening even better was our waiter, Andrei. He was friendly, polite, and attentive. Highly recommend this place – we’ll definitely be coming back! ”
“ What a difference staff can make. Last night, here was a definite A++ today they scrape a B-. Food good, not excellent, burger was tasty but medium rare (unusual in Europe) if they want to cook the "American Way" they should ask really. ”
“ Very nice terrace right in the park. Impeccable for when you have kids: you can watch them from the terrace while they play. The food is good. the pizzas we tried are good, the fries are home made, the pavlova is very good. The service is impeccable. The cocktails are ok. And the terrace is softly illuminated by night. All next to one of the nicest parks, Parcul Icoanei. ”
