We came to eat at this place twice during our trip in Bucharest, and each time was an appreciated, agreeable and memorable experience.

The restaurant itself : This restaurant is renowned for its architecture. The façade is beautiful. However, the interior can be considered too dark by some people, but, personally, I loved this Neo Gothic atmosphere. In addition, the toilets are clean.

The location: Caru' cu Bere is located in a beautiful listed building, in the historical (and pedestrian) center of the Romanian capital, close to the Stavropoleos monastery.

The service : It is a very busy place, but it is also huge: there are two floors and a large terrace. Thus, don't hesitate to ask for a table even if the number of clients you see would make you hesitate. Each time we came, almost the whole terrace was occupied, but we always found a table available for one hour and a half to two hours inside. Eventually, the wait wasn't too long.

The food : Now, I will talk about the most important part of my comment: the food. We had freshly squeezed lemonade with honey on the bottom of the glass; slices of bread; a typical bean soup in a bread; « sarmale » (cooked cabbage sticks) with polenta, meat and sauce; and « papanași » (Romanian doughnuts), which are the best doughnuts we have ever eaten. They are moist inside and a little bit crunchy outside thanks to the sugar on it, with cheese cream and a blueberry coulis. We found them delicious, although we don't really like doughnuts in general. Concerning the portions, they are very, maybe too generous. For instance, my family and I (four in total) took one doughnut for each of us, while one plate contains two. There are also many classic brasserie dishes (like Caesar salad, hamburgers) and others being from different parts of Romania.

As you probably understood, I totally recommend Caru' cu Bere :)
