Eating out<br />
A Michelin-rated chef works his magic<br />
on what has to be the swankiest<br />
restaurant in Cluj. I’ve dined five<br />
times in VIA, (6 Inocent˛iu Micu<br />
Klein St, +40 (0)264 593 220, www.<br />
viarestaurant.ro) and the “whole<br />
roasted Boston butt” is so good… I<br />
just have to have it every time!<br />
City suggestions<br />
Dress the part in Fashion Club (P-ta<br />
Unirii 10, +40 (0)264 444849). In<br />
this posh club in the city centre,<br />
drinks are not cheap, but you will<br />
feel the part in the Fashion Channel’s<br />
very own club in Cluj.<br />
And finally…<br />
The city and its surroundings bloom<br />
now and taxis are cheap, charging<br />
less then a euro per km (airport to<br />
city centre is only €5), so do explore.<br />

A slice of the city<br />
In high summer, laze on café terraces<br />
or in the lush Westfalenpark just<br />
south of the centre. Or rent a bike at<br />
the station, pick up supplies in the<br />
city centre and scoot down to the park<br />
for a picnic in the shade.<br />
Eating out<br />
For a slice of the Far East head to<br />
Fukuoka, Kuckelke 3, +49 (0)231<br />
549 5352, www.fukuoka-sushitaxi.de<br />
for excellent fresh Japanese sushi,<br />
tempura and other dishes. There’s<br />
even outside seating in summer. If<br />
shopping at the Di Vinum Wine<br />
Shop, Kleppingstraße 28, +49 (0)231<br />
586 5429, there are a few tables<br />
for people to sample their fantastic<br />
tapas, wines and spirits on the spot.<br />
City suggestions<br />
For history and tradition and beer,<br />
head to Bergmann Bier Kiosk at<br />
Hoher Wall 36. The small, local<br />
brewery sells its full range of beers to<br />
drink on the spot or take away<br />
And finally…<br />
Dortmund’s annual Rosenfest takes<br />
place in Westfalenpark on Sunday 26<br />

A slice of the city<br />
If it’s July, then it’s the Dubrovnik<br />
Summer Festival, traditionally<br />
staged between 10 July and 25<br />
August. Croatia’s version of the<br />
Edinburgh Festival takes place in<br />
open-air sites around the historical<br />
Old Town. www.dubrovnik-festival.hr<br />
Eating out<br />
Avoid the tourist traps and try<br />
Rozarij, Prijeko 2, +385 (0)20 322<br />
015. Now reopened and under new<br />
management, this little domestic<br />
restaurant is set apart from the<br />
tourist-trap eateries along Prijeko,<br />
and not only geographically. Seafood<br />
in buzara sauce 80 kuna (€11). Or try<br />
Nautika Restaurant, Brsalje 3 +385<br />
(0)20 442 526, www.esculap-teo.hr.<br />
Dubrovnik’s finest traditional<br />
restaurant, with a sea-view location<br />
and prices to match, sits by the Pile<br />
Gate. New chef Mario Bunda has<br />
brought a little contemporary touch<br />
to the range of superbly presented<br />
standard dishes. Fish brodetto soup à<br />
la Sipan is 310 kuna (€42).<br />
City suggestions<br />
For the night owls, Latino Club<br />
Fuego at Brsalje 11, +385 (0)20<br />
312 870, is an evergreen nightspot<br />
near the Pile Gate. It’s more a disco<br />
bar than a fully blown discotheque<br />
but heaving in summer nevertheless.<br />
Mojito cocktail is 50 kuna (€6.75). Or<br />
try something striking and historical<br />
at Lazareti, Frana Supila 8, +385<br />
(0)20 324 633, www.lazareti.com.<br />
Landmark nightspot set in a former<br />
quarantine barracks near the Ploce<br />
Gate and Banje beach, with weekend<br />
DJs. Domestic beer is 15 kuna (€2).<br />
And finally…<br />
If you want to experience the<br />
Dubrovnik Festival up close, you don’t<br />
always have to pay for a ticket – there<br />
are plenty of free performances on<br />
offer as you wander the Old Town.<br />
