Manuc's Inn
Hanul lui Manuc
A merchants' inn built in 1808, whose large courtyard, surrounded by timber galleries, still houses a traditional Romanian restaurant.
Manuc's Inn was built in 1808 by the Armenian merchant Manuc Bei and is the oldest surviving inn building in Bucharest. Two storeys of wooden galleries enclose a spacious courtyard. The ground floor once held shops and warehouses, and the upper floor held guest rooms. The 1812 preliminary negotiations for the Treaty of Bucharest, which ended the Russo-Turkish War, were held here. Today it houses a traditional Romanian restaurant and bar. The courtyard seating is lovely in summer. Try sarmale (cabbage rolls) and grilled meats. It is opposite the Old Princely Court, and booking is advisable at peak dining times.
