Trying new places: Caru cu bere

The second part of my Sunday: going to “Caru cu bere” restaurant (in translation — "The Beer Wagon").

Located in the “old center” of Bucharest, during weekends is always crowded so you better not rely solely on luck and call ahead for a reservation.

If you’re hungry enough you can find the food here delicious… otherwise it’s just a little above average (depending on what you’re ordering). I recommend trying the home made bread; it goes well with anything you’re ordering, especially the home made vegetable spread… yum!

The ambiance is nice and if you manage to get a table during their daily shows, you’ll sure have fun. But don’t get offended if the waiters seem to forget about you or not notice you when you’re asking for some water (you sure need some after the truly spicy Hungarian goulash) — they are really busy, especially at dinner time.

As for the prices: I would say it isn’t cheap (for my standards) and maybe it would be more accessible if not for all the stars that came here (whose misspelled names and pictures you’ll find on the back walls).

Since I started rating stuff, I’ll say the restaurant gets a 7.5 on a scale from 1 to 10…
