The Dream of aDiver Come True
Ilie Jeciu, former military diver, current commercial diver, has always carried the sea in his heart. His love for the depths and the marine world led him, over two decades ago, to begin collecting diving equipment and nautical artifacts. This passion was no accident: ever since his youth, he dreamed of creating a special place where the untold stories of the deep could be brought closer to people. Thus, Terasa cu Ancore was born — a place where every corner breathes the emotions of a life spent beneath the waves and a deep love for the sea.
Restaurant and MuseumA Unique Combination
Marine gastronomy meets the living history of diving in a place like no other. Terasa cu Ancore is not just a seafood restaurant — it’s an open-air diving museum where fresh fish dishes are served among authentic diving equipment, each piece telling its own story. Heavy diving helmets, cast iron boots, decompression chambers, sonar devices, and historic anchors bring the underwater world closer to the surface. Every visit unfolds a maritime story, turning every meal into a journey through taste, history, and adventure.
The Freshness ofthe Sea in Every Plate
At Terasa cu Ancore, we bring the true flavors of the Black Sea to your plate. All our dishes are crafted from fresh fish caught daily by local fishermen. Crispy anchovies, juicy mullet, perfectly cooked turbot, and aromatic seafood preserve the authentic taste of the Romanian coastline. Every recipe honors traditional fishing cuisine while reinterpreting it to keep the spirit of the sea intact. Here, you won’t find processed products — only the sincere essence of the deep, served deliciously to your table.

The venue impresses with its sensational design, offering a relaxed vibe that instantly transports you to the seaside. The dishes – such as the seasoned carp and scallops in white wine – stand out for their freshness and authentic flavor. I quickly discovered that, for a small extra cost compared to self-service, the culinary experience is truly exceptional. The dreamlike atmosphere perfectly complements the refined character of the establishment.

I had long wanted to visit this establishment, and friends’ recommendations persuaded me to give it a try. A standout feature was the allowance to bring my small dog onto the terrace, with a note to ensure it behaved so as not to disturb other guests. Upon arrival, the terrace, though moderately busy, quickly filled with enthusiastic patrons, and the friendly staff presented us with a diverse menu suitable for both seafood and meat lovers. The generous portions and fresh dishes convinced me that I will undoubtedly return. Congratulations on the team’s professionalism and dedication!
