Caru' cu bere

We had a great time at this restaurant. The place was unique and there was a band inside playing classical music. Our server, Bogdan, was really attentive and friendly. There is a variety of food and drink selection. We tried the pork knuckles and the fisherman's tale and both were very delicious. I highly recommend the pavlova. Overall, would highly recommend the place if you want an introduction to the Romanian food and delicacies.

We were genuinely prepared for a tourist trap, and we were completely wrong—Caru' cu bere is a masterpiece and an absolute must-visit for anyone in Bucharest. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is sublime. The elegant Gothic interior design and ornate woodwork create a historical, almost cathedral-like feel. We were lucky enough to experience the unexpected live dance performance with traditional Romanian outfits, which was the perfect, authentic cultural touch to the evening. Booking is essential! We highly recommend requesting a table on the balcony view; there are only a few tables up there, giving you a quiet, almost VIP experience away from the main hall's bustle. The Food: We ordered the signature dish: Ciorbă de fasole cu afumătură în pită (Bean soup with smoked pork served in a giant bread bowl). It was phenomenal—hearty, authentic, and easily the best thing we could have ordered. Tip: I also tried the 0% Ursu Romanian beer, which is light and refreshing, similar to a shandy. Final Verdict: Do not skip this restaurant. It offers great food, a truly spectacular setting, and the potential for spontaneous live music and dancing. It’s an experience, not just a meal.

The indoor area is much better than the outdoor. Inside was a church and now converted into a restaurant. The foods are not as tasty as I think. I order a soup in a bread the taste was just fine. And the local sausages with fried. The taste of the fries was good, the sausages was not what I like. But it's consider tasty. The price are actually high the soup is 43 lei, the sausages with fries is 5o+lei, and I ordered a sweet ginger mocktail it's cost 30+ lei.

By far the best restaurant in Bucharest and possibly in Romania, with an impressive 130-year history of Romanian culinary tradition. The Romanian cuisine is excellent, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is unique. It is necessary to make a reservation as it is always full. Every evening, a small group of dancers entertains guests with traditional Romanian dances. For food lovers, I recommend the pork knuckle, which is very large and can be served for 2 people. The tripe soup is also excellent. Before the meal, I recommend ordering a tuica or a palinca.

It’s a really beautiful place. Going in, the first thing you’ll see is the big church stained glass. It’s beautiful how it keeps the essence of a church but it’s better now that you can have fun. The food was great, dishes looks delicious and taste really good. Our waiter was really kind. And it’s wonderful to suddenly see a dance show. Applause! It’s a little bit expensive, but I think it’s worth it.

The food was mediocre. The building and atmosphere are cool and unique, but we did not get to experience any live music even though it is heavily advertised. It is not clear when live music is actually available when making a reservation. Server was really nice and helpful. We ordered the foie gras, half pork knuckle, the salmon, and the sheep pastrami. The foie gras was cold and stiff, the pork knuckle did not have much to it, the salmon was noticeably overcooked, and the pastrami was just average. Prices are definitely way too high for what you get and the place leans toward a tourist trap.

Thought this place would be a tourist trap, but absolutely worth the hype! The Skinless Sausage, the Trout and the Donuts were absolutely killer. The trout was the absolute best fish dish I’ve ever had, and we loved it so much that we went back the next day as the last meal before we departed Bucharest. Definitely worth the wait (highly recommend to make a reservation) and must visit!

Famous among tourist but worth it! We didn’t get the chance to book while they had a show but the atmosphere was absolutely amazing. Romanian experience which is a must try. Food was really good as well as the beer! Make sure to order the dessert!
