City Grill Group started in 2004 with the opening of the City Grill restaurant in Primăverii and 50 employees. Currently, City Grill Group includes 10 brands and 24 restaurants.

“Twenty years ago, I set out to develop a business in the restaurant market in Bucharest where I could make a difference, set the tone, and set the standard. Together with a solid team, I have succeeded not only in achieving this goal but also in maintaining our top position, remaining the most important local restaurant group, building durable brands loved by the public and recognized internationally,” says Dragoș Petrescu, Founder and President of City Grill Group.

Restaurants that are part of the City Grill Group, such as Caru’ cu Bere, Hanu’ lui Manuc, Pescăruș, Hanu’ Berarilor, City Grill, and Buongiorno Italian, are reference destinations for the Bucharest public, as well as nationally and internationally.

Recently, City Grill Group has completed several major investment projects, including the modernization of the Hanu’ Berarilor – Oprea Soare restaurant and the opening of two hotels under the La Boheme brand, as well as the renovation of some locations in the Buongiorno network.
