Caru' cu Bere
A century-old beer hall founded in 1879, where you can eat Romanian home-style dishes beneath a neo-Gothic painted hall and stained-glass windows.
Caru' cu Bere was founded in 1879, and its current building dates from 1899. Inside is opulent neo-Gothic decoration: painted vaulted ceilings, carved wooden staircases, stained-glass windows and chandeliers, making it one of Bucharest's best-known historic restaurants. The menu centers on traditional Romanian dishes such as sarmale with polenta, mici (grilled sausages), sour soup and house-brewed beer. Prices are moderate, and folk music and dance performances are often held in the evenings. It is popular with tourists, so book ahead for dinner and on weekends. It sits next to the Stavropoleos Monastery.
