Hanu' Berarilor Casa Soare

Housed in the former Casa Bucur (a place you could write a book about) it is a very good Romanian restaurant serving the kind of food you only usually get in people's homes - and only then if they are great cooks. Seriously: only in two or three other places in Bucharest will you find carnati de oaie (mutton sausages) or a bors de peste as good as there. If you are feeling really hungry go for the platou mioritic: a huge plate of meaty treats. They serve their own beer, which is highly drinkable and a bargain at 7.90 lei per pint.
