It’s true, the place is a tourist trap, too much hype made it popular in the past five years. But it hasn’t always been this way. There was a time when La Mama meant authentic Romanian cuisine, the kind a Romanian mom would cook. No more. Today the place serves authentic wannabes, the quality lacks and the staff are often rude. Never mind the bad review, however. Maybe you are in luck when you visit. The prices are low and the portions are big – so what lacks in quality, makes up in quantity.

Taverna Sarbului is one of those rare gems in a modern city. Bucharest likes its local cuisine, and, like in any Latin country, you’ll also find here a number of Italian restaurants. Although not rare in Romania (Serbians are still a minority in Transylvania), Serbian cuisine is not a usual occurrence. Taverna Sarbului does it flawlessly. The atmosphere is old-time Serbian, the food prepared with the freshest ingredients, respecting traditional recipes. The restaurant also serves slibovitz, a plum brandy specific to Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia among others.

Caru’ cu Bere is one of the oldest restaurants in Bucharest, in fact it is the city’s oldest brewery. It was opened in 1879 in the old Zlatari inn and moved to Stavropoleos Street (its current location) twenty years later. The food lacks the quality it once had, but the house beer is still good and the atmosphere is well worthy of a visit. Expect to find the place crowded at all times, travelers come here to experience the old Bucharest vibe, evident in the beer house’s architecture, and reflected by some elements of interior design like mural paintings, stained glass and carved cross-beams. The wine cellar is a must.
