"The sarmale with mamaliga is terrific."

Mark Baker

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

Elizabeth on the Road

"As a main course I had sarmale cu mamaliga si smantana, minced meat rolled in cabbage which was very well spiced. It was all delicious!"

Diana Neculaescu

"Have dinner at Caru cu Bere, the best traditional Romanian restaurant in Bucharest. Try Romanian dishes like ‘Sarmale’ cabbage rolls stuffed with minced meat and polenta on the side."

"Cabbage leaves stuffed with meat, served with polenta and crème fraîche. You can also choose vine leaves instead of the cabbage ones. It’s very good, and light."

Zina Z.

"So, I end up to a few traditional dishes and I really enjoyed them! Sarmale cu Mamaliguta for the beginning! Sarmale is a dish made of rolled minced meat (pork usually) mixed with rice and herbs and covered in cabbage leaves."

Olala Homes

"Try Caru cu Bere, a restaurant that calls itself “the soul of Bucharest”, for some seriously good sarmale in Bucharest."

Mariana Ganea

"I have never been a great lover of cabbage. However, the Sarmale was delightful and pleasant. The plate was very large and very full, but I greedily ate the lot! It was very “more-ish”."

Loris Lejean

"Finally the food, a wide panel that can offer the experience of the culinary culture of Romania, a really good place to eat quality food like Sarmale."
