Ciorbe La Ion
Galațiul de altădată: an interwar evening at Ciorbe La Ion
Vintage cars at the gate, a wine tasting, piano and fiddle music, on 1 August 2026. What that evening held, and what can be arranged the same way for a group.
Ion's journal
Stories from the table and from the kitchen.
About recipes, people, customs and the places we come from. Written by Ion and by those who sit at these tables.
