Underrated place. It is not showing as one of the first in the google, not to be found in the guides, not to be told about when asked about good mici. There is a huge charcoal grill inside, where the fresh food is being prepared. There is an option for 3 mici with fries and mustard for 36 lei, which is below average for an old town. There are four types of mici, all of them mixed meat from mutton, pork, lamb and beef in different combinations, with different spices as well. There is possibility of ordering mici plate for 82 lei, that consists of 8 mici - 2 of each type, so you can try every one of them, and choose your favourite. Meat is of really good quality and fresh. I've travelled all accross the Balkan area and ate ćevapčići in a dozens of places, every country has its own style preparing them, everywhere they taste different, however here you can try real Romanian mici of the best quality. I found this place randomly, it just looked like "here can be the food I like" and it was a great choice, we came back the day after. If you have social anxiety, you can also sit by the table, stan QR code and order whatever you want from the app. If you create an account, 10% worth of your order will be collected as points that may be used for the future discounts. So, long story short, great place in the old town, definitely not a tourist trap, for reasonable price you can eat here amazing food.

I spent one week at the beginning of August in Bucharest. Once I discovered Old Town, it was difficult to stay away. City Grill was the first restaurant I visited and became a wonderful introduction to this vibrant and beautiful area of the city. I visited City Grill on three separate occasions: for brunch, early evening and late night. The staff deserve special praise; from the welcome of the hostess on each occasion to the waiting staff who helped to recommend dishes from the menu, each of them helped make my visit complete. And what can I say about the food? So very, very good! Excellent! I will include photos with this review. I particularly recommend the sarmale and I adored the sour tripe soup I had for lunch! Next time you are in Bucharest, give them a call. You will not be disappointed!

Excellent Romanian restaurant in the center of Bucharest. The prices are €€ (out of €€€€) and the quality of the meat is excellent (great price/quality ratio). A plate for 4 people is around 35€ (full menu in the photos - from 5.10.2019). We tried the plate for 4 people and the papanasi (Romanian dessert) plus the Romanian beer and Romanian water (still and sparking). The interior design is very rustic, traditional, simple & clean. I love the grill in the center (photos below). The place also has a terrace outside for when the weather is nice. Location wise it’s also quite well positioned, in the old city (centrul vechi), allowing you to take a break for lunch or dinner in between your tourist activities. Overall I recommend this place! A+

Just ate there and selected the place by majority of positive reviews here. I enjoyed the quick service and the food was good but the service is awful. First off they surprised me with baked chips instead of fries without telling me beforehand, then nobody even attended our table to ask if all is good, if we need anything else or even if the surprise chips are any good, considering they goofed once.. Conclusion : The waiters there are pretty dull and unattendive. Foodwise, the ribs were OK, but just that. More bone than meat.. Prices are pretty expensive for such food. All in all its a nice place to eat outside, if u don't mind the dull service and medium quality food. Next time I'll eat elsewhere.

Location is perfect situated, in the heart of Bucharest, old city center. We were heading towards this restaurant for the Brașovene pancakes with cheese. Unfortunately, these were not anymore in the menu. The local was prepared for the Christmas time and upstairs was quiet and nice. The rustic view with Christmas spirit, oh very nice time we spent here. We had micii Obor with 3 types of mustard and homemade chips and a Caesar salad with lemonades. The waiters recommendations were poor, not so much talking. 3 types mustard was enough for the meat, but just I didn't like 2 and the only one left was insufficient for all the meat. Very good chips

The only downside of this experience was that a lot of dishes were not available, but we showed up at 10 pm with no reservation and they were the only ones to welcome us. We were not expecting to find a place so cozy, with an incredibly polite staff and such a good food - a wonderful surprise. Especially because every other place (or so) treated us so badly for asking a table for two without a reservation - well, City Grill is absolutely recommended ! And a special thanks to Georgiana, who made everything even better ! We will come back for sure.
