"The food is very good - typically mititei (grilled spicy sausages)."

"Wonderful interiors – painted ceilings, ornate woodwork – make the place an attraction in itself, but do not leave without trying some food. The breakfast is worth getting up early for, the sarmale with mamaliga terrific, and the baked apple a simple, tasty treat."

"The cabbage rolls at Caru' cu Bere, a traditional beerhouse in the center, are as good as the homemade variety."

"This dessert which is called “papanasi”, in my humble opinion, was the star of the show. They call it a cottage cheese dumpling, which may be accurate, but it is so much more than that. Picture an old fashioned cake donut, with a sweetened cottage cheese sauce and a bitter cherry sauce and then topped with a light dusting of very fine granulated sugar. This dessert changed my life."

"Some of the best Papanasi you can get in Romania are at Caru’ cu Bere restaurant, in the old centre of Bucharest. The portions are very large and it’s impossible to finish."
