- In today's video we give you some ideas of what and where to eat when visiting Bucharest, Romania. We take you to Caru Cu Bere, otherwise known as The Soul of Bucharest, which is probably the most well known and famous traditional Romanian restaurant in Bucharest. We also show you Cartofisserie, a Romanian fast food chain that features tasty inexpensive eats. Romania is also known for it's numerous gelato shops but one in particular, Gelateria La Romana, is a must visit. Finally, and probably our favorite of the list is the Taverna Covaci, another superb traditional Romanian restaurant.

Yes! Thanks for watching!
Carul cu bere in translation=The beer cart.I'm from Romania and from today I will follow you.
Cool, now we know what the name means! Greatly appreciated! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Thank you for your visit and review! ❤
Just a small thing : i heard that 99% of the foreign people visiting Romania pronounce “mici” like “Mitchie”. That pronounciation means “The mici”. If you want to say it without definite article “the”, you should pronounce it like the name “Mitch”.
I eat two Mitch (mici).
I eat The Mitchie (micii - with two i in romanian).
I eat one Mick.
These would be the correct forms.
Sorry. I just noticed everybody misspronounce it and that’s why i thought i should clarify it :)
Thanks again!
Thanks for the correction. Once I retire we plan on staying in places for longer periods of time (a month or more each location) giving us more time to learn so we will make every effort to do better next time around!
@@Kenshirokan no problems! It is not a “mistake”, it was just an observation. If i were to go to Germany tomorrow, i would probably pronounce ok as far as I know, but a german would very probably tell me that my pronunciation is giving the words different nuances and meanings. So no worries! :)
Romanian can look confusing sometimes with the double-i's. :) However, there are cases when we have three i's in a row, without it being a typo. Let's take the word for 'a child'; _un copil._ The plural affix in this case is another i, so ... copili. But! .... This is also one of those cases where word-final L disappears, leaving us with _copii._ Through some bizarre cosmic sense of humour, the male definite plural article in this case is also i ... so we end up with _copiii;_ 'the children'. :D In similar vein, the female name _Andrea_ is spelt _Andreea_ in Romanian. Again, not a typo, but the vowel cluster _ea_ is itself a diphtong, pronounced roughly like /ya/. That's why we need that extra "e" in there, so as to make sure we still have the "e" sound. Without it, Andrea would be /an'drya'/. :)
Thank you, guys! Very much appreciated! ❤❤❤
You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!
Super review. Multumesc :)
Thank you so much for the compliments!
❤❤❤
Thank you for watching!
Miss my country.. I hope you have fun guys 🎉🎉 try Ferma Dacilor place..
A very underappreciated destination that many do not realize exists. Thanks for watching!
I hope you like your steaks well done :))
IT WAS BURNED ÎN MEAN TIME. THE OWNER SEEMS TO BE A"MAFIOTO"
Good job and let the critics complain! I don't care ! You did good!
Appreciate the compliments. We're honestly getting tired of constantly repeating ourselves and our apologies for mispronouncing certain Romanian words. Thanks for watching and thanks for being on our side!
Nah he did not, maybe just let her do all the commentary as he is embarrassing
lol "Charu Chu Bere" is wild...
Yes, just as wild as people from all over the world visiting other parts of the world mispronouncing phrases on a daily basis! Lol....thanks for watching!
@@Kenshirokan No, that's sheer lazyness and pursuit of quick "hot" content. Do better.
@@coolmojito thanks for watching and commenting!
I likr
Thanks for watching!
Big shame they didn't have an original romanian matured sheep cheese
Maybe we needed to ask. It would have been nice to try. Thanks for watching!
ÎN ROMÂNIA PEOPLE WORK AS WELL. AND HAVEN'T SO MUCH TIME EAT
Really? We learn something new everyday! In the United States people work as well but when they are on vacation they choose to do what they want whether it is enjoying food or relaxing at home. Thank you for watching!
Wath a high price(carul cu bere)! OMG! I am Romanian,but never i will pay a price so high for a day meat. With this mony,you can eat a week or 2.
Yes, very expensive by local standards and we certainly acknowledge that but to be fair, we are not local and are coming from a country where a meal in an equivalent restaurant would cost twice as much. It's nice to splurge every now and then is it not? If the food, service, and place were all awful we would be honest and would certainly let everyone know but that was not the case. Not justifying the cost by any means simply trying to put things in perspective. Appreciate the insight and big thanks for watching our video!
For a restaurant that you need to book in advance, it has many 10-20$ meal options. It is expensive, for like street food standards, but the fact that it's fully booked - means that it's not that expensive.
Sorry to nitpick, but the name of the restaurant (Caru' cu bere) is pronounced, using English phonetics, /KA-roo koo BEH-reh/. Just like in Italian, the letter "c" is only pronounced like English "ch" if it comes before an "i" or an "e" -- e.g. Ceausescu /chow-SHES-koo/. In all other positions it's pronounced like English "k". :) If, however, there's no escaping the i or e, but we still need a /k/ sound, we add an "h" after the "c", e.g. _Chiriac_ /KEER-yak/ (Romanian surname). :)
We'll try to do better next time. Thanks for watching!
@@Kenshirokanis the same pronunciation as CAR in english (automobile)
😮..they came to enjoy Romanian, not to get a languadge diploma😅
@@angelicacroitoru4946 Still no reason not to pick up a language pointer or two. If nothing else, they'll leave the country speaking better Romanian than Viorica Dancila. 😄😂
WHEN YOU'RE ÎN ROME DO WHAT THE ROMANS DO
Romanians eat a lot of pork so naturally that’s what we do best … one thing I miss from America when I go home is a good stake.. you can find it but it’s not easy.
Ah yes a good steak. It’s tough to beat the US when it comes to steak. We went to Vacamuuu and I thought the steak there was comparable to back home. The owner was super friendly as well and we had a conversation with him about Texas, which, is where we live. Thanks for watching!
@@Kenshirokan did you ever eat at Big Texan in Amarillo ? I don’t know if they have other locations or not.
@@superstrongr No, we have not been to that place. Amarillo is a pretty small town that does not have a lot of interesting things to see and it is also quite far away from where we live in Houston so we have not had much of a reason to visit. I have heard of the place you are talking about though. It is definitely a place we will visit if we are ever in Amarillo .
Would you like to Try Indian Food in Bucharest Romania?? One of the most appreciated and liked India. Restaurant.
Next time! Unfortunately, we are no longer in Romania but we will return soon! Thanks for watching!
CHINESE RESTAURANTS ARE MUCH MORE APPRECIATED
The price for taxi is 50-60 lei.however, the driver charged me 162 lei. My friend was charged 300 lei. I am leaving today and learned the receipt I got from the taxi driver is fake one. These drivers do not care how visitors view people in Romania!
That is unfortunate. But what you experienced with taxis is a world wide problem, not just limited to Romania. That is why we never used taxis. We always used either Grab or Uber where the fare is both shown and paid for through the app. Zero hassles. Thanks for watching!
It is "Carwool qu bear-eh"
it's "caru" like in the English "car", not "charu" like in Charles.
😂😂😂😂 ciz with tomatoes and onins 😂😂😂 😅😅 this is the every day romanian snack 😅😅
Good to know. Thanks for watching!
the c its read as a k karu cu bere
All the places were tourist traps😂
Love the video though.
Wow at 16:55 this girl drinks all that palinca without blinking!! very impressive but I guess it is the Ukrainian genes 😂
WRONG! SHE'S ROMÂNIAN ALL THE TIME!
When the waiter is dressed better than you are
It's all subjective isn't it? Thanks for watching!
I DON'T COME AT CARU CU BERE TO PAY THE WAITER'S DRESS!
In Romania: "meat is the best vegetable"
Lol, even though I'm not Romanian I tend to agree with you! Thanks for watching.
Олена поправь супутника, ресторан правильно звучит ,,кару ку бере"-повозка пива!
Нас уже кілька разів виправляли в коментарях.) Тепер ми знаємо. Дякую за перегляд!
You pronounce the name of Caru cu bere restaurant totally wrong. Its not "Charoo choo bere" its like you say "karoo koo bere" Letter C is pronounced "k" not "ch". Romanian is a latin language, the letteres are pronounced almost like in italian.
Understood, I apologize to any Romanians for any mispronunciations I or Olena have made in our videos. Not intentional by any means. Thanks for the correction and thanks for watching!
@@Kenshirokan no problem, is just that if you ever want to come in Romania again maybe you will want to learn more of our language. Peace!
@@atrium8609
Nu te lega de oameni si de pronuntia lor. Pronunta cum pot si nu e nevoie sa le faci observatie pe un ton cam arogant.
@@3wL7 pe tine cine te-a băgat în seamă?
@@atrium8609
Nu e nevoie sa ma bagi tu in seama, ma bag eu.
19:09 noo that's not how you eat sarmale, don't break it up like that :(
It was not my intent to eat it that way. I wanted to eat it cleanly but it fell apart. Sorry if that bothered you. To be frank though, I don't go around pointing out to people who eat Ramen with a fork and spoon that they need to be using chopsticks.....I just let them enjoy it however they want regardless of how they eat it. Thanks for watching!
@@Kenshirokan Haha it did not bother me that much don't worry, was mostly joking. But I did feel bad for that sarma lol
Yeah I stopped watching this as soon as you talked nonsense about the beer😂
Glad to humor you. Important thing is that you still watched up to that point! Thanks for watching!
Taverna Covaci are muzica prea tare si de proasta calitate. Nu e folclor autentic, e de ala fals, compozitii ale unora.
Sorry you feel that way. We thoroughly enjoyed it and that is all that matters. Thanks for watching!

Romanian currency is LEI not …RON!!!
Appreciate the feedback but let’s go ahead and agree to disagree. RON is the international currency symbol for Leu (singular)/Lei (plural) no different than the GBP is the international currency symbol for the British Pound. Another example, USD is the international currency symbol for United States Dollar. They are one and the same and can be used interchangeably. Thanks for watching!
RON - ROmanian New leu. Before it was ROL.
Doar asta ti-a atras atentia? Reusiti uneori sa va faceti de ras in fata unor straini. Cum sa spui ca nu-i RON, ci lei? 🤣 Doamne fereste, se vede ca tara e condusa de corupti, sosocisti si idioti. Bafta, leule!
STOP WITH YOUR STUPID EXPLANATIONS
It is a tourist trap. The building is beautiful, but the quality of food is mediocre to low. It was tasty several years ago, but as the receipt grew, the food got worse and overpriced. The general attitude is "here! Taste some Romanian food, eat quick, clear the table, pay and get tf out!". The locals come for the interior and the interwar atmosphere, not for the food. That's why it's full.
I think you’re at the bad period 😂
@@catalincatalin7644 and I think you have poor taste. Try to go out more.
I'm a Romanian and man... I must tell you, that food looks awful! 😂
Well, I guess it’s impossible to satisfy them all. Thanks for watching!
Why do you pronounce,,charul'' cu bere when is,,carul cu bere''? ,,Car'' is pronounced in romanian exactly the same as in english, ,,ul'' at the end is the article.
Understood. As we have said already a few times, it was not intentional and an honest mistake on our part. We apologize for any mispronunciations we made as we are not native to Romania. Thanks for watching!
bucharest food is too dry and heavy. I did not like it.
Yes, it's definitely heavy and may not appeal to everyone but it is definitely an experience worth trying when on vacation. Thanks for watching!
You are banned for life for mentioning bud light in that place, besides the beer itself has nothing in common. Also, that is not stained glass; it's colored glass, which is NOT the same! And I mean whatever you wasted my time with, at Caru Cu Bere. Why would anyone take your advice and follow your tracks??? The cartofisserie joint is JUNK! But you do love junk, where you're from... You covered food for poor people, but Bucharest stands out in fantastic high-end cuisine, which you most likely can't afford... Remember, Bucharest is not a magnet for poor people; it's much more than that and it can truly be amazing for any purchase-power.
Cheers!
Apparently, you watched a good portion of the video, otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to comment in such detail and for that, we thank you! Glad to have garnered such strong feelings from you. Negative or positive, we appreciate the feedback! No hate here. Thanks for watching!
@@Kenshirokan You are welcome! The sad thing is that people get miss-informed and that's a bummer. Don't mind my feelings; it's the disappointment of those following your steps, if any...
Cheers!
“Food for poor people”🤣🤣🤣Don’t let food affect your self esteem that much anymore.)) And don’t forget that you can not ban anyone from Caru Cu Bere for mentioning Bud Light. Feel free to express more feelings in the comments below. Cheers!🍻
@@oleknaolenka9224 I don't mind responding, if it helps the many... Yes you are banned for life from Caru cu Bere; just make an attempt to enter and post it! Remember, Romania is not a magnet for poor people seeking the blast of their life;l it's in fact a wonderful destination, just like any other wonderful destinations if you can afford the wonderful part of it and that is for sure not cheap, nor is it MICI and Sarmale. Wealty people are more than welcome to spend accordingly in high-end establishments and I don't mean brothels, but boutique hotels, fine dining and lavish life-style. If you're on a budget, you're welcome as well and you will most certainly enjoy MICI and Sarmale and eat polenta all day long, but that's not the point! A day in Mamaia on teh Black sea will cost you almost as the entire vacation in Bali, but it's worth every penny. Mamaia is the new Ibiza, or Mykonos!
And if my comment will bring you those five cents you aim to get, it;'s my pleasure!
Cheers!
what the heck was the little bite at 18:27 ? You should be sent straight to jail for this :)
Lol, yup, I was a little embarrassed by this as well. It's not just Romania, she does this everywhere.....heh. Thanks for watching!
I was trying to nibble on the burnt piece of meat)
I was about to fall off my chair when I saw how she was biting a bit
I wonder how that girl can feel the taste and texture of meat, it was funny 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm Romanian, if I was there I would pass out 😅🤣🤣
But shes nice and cute , and him ...yeah i like how he eat like true Romanian 😂
Both are nice, thank you for visiting and experiencing our country
Hah, great observations! Yeah, like I said, Olena tends to do that when she's trying most things. Not the same for me, when I'm trying something I dig in with big bites! We will definitely be back soon. We love Romania! Thanks for watching!@@ConstantineB0gd4n
