Caru’ cu Bere in Bucharest

When in Bucharest, beer lovers should not, repeat not, miss Caru’ cu Bere (Stavropoleos St. #5, Bucharest, Romania; phone 021 313 75 60, www.carucubere.ro). It is a two-story rococo Bavarian brauhaus dishing up plentiful servings of Romanian food plus a good assortment of European beers, including their own. It is very popular with tourists and natives alike, but we had no trouble getting a table anytime we went. (Lunch from RON22.4 [near $7] and beer RON4.80-RON9).
