City Grill Group Prepares for Its Largest New Year’s Eve Celebration in Recent Years, With Over 3,200 Guests Expected. Almost 1,000 bookings so far.

City Grill Group, the leading player in Romania’s HoReCa industry, has opened the winter festive season with an accelerated pace of reservations for New Year’s Eve 2026. In less than a month since launching the offers, nearly 1,000 Romanians have already booked their seats in one of the group’s eight landmark restaurants. The 2026 edition offers over 3,200 seats, 600 more than last year, when all 2,600 available tickets were sold out before mid-December.

The growing demand confirms the public’s appetite for themed end-of-year events. As in previous years, the most sought-after venues are Caru’ cu Bere, Hanul Berarilor, and Restaurant Pescăruș, which traditionally sell out first.

“New Year’s Eve remains one of the most anticipated events in our restaurants, and this year’s booking pace confirms our guests’ desire to secure a complete experience in a place rich in tradition. Each venue has its own theme, audience, and atmosphere, yet all share the same high standards of quality that define the City Grill brand,” said Ramona Popescu, Head of Marketing & Customer Experience, City Grill Group.

Themed Parties, Each With Its Own Distinct Atmosphere

New Year’s Eve celebrations will take place across Caru’ cu Bere, Hanul Berarilor Oprea Soare and Uranus, Hanul lui Manuc, Pescăruș, ZOOMA, Buongiorno Victoriei, and Buongiorno Primăverii, each proposing a distinctive concept tailored to its venue’s character.

From the elegance of the Viennese Ball at Caru’ cu Bere to the bohemian ambiance of Hanul lui Manuc, the vibrant energy at Hanul Berarilor – animated by Trupa Bauer, Friends, and cabaret moments – or the La Dolce Vita refinement at Buongiorno, each event blends top-tier gastronomy with live entertainment.

Ticket prices start at 860 RON per person, with early-bird rates available until November 1.

30% Returning Guests. ZOOMA, the Modern Destination Completing the City Grill Portfolio

Year after year, City Grill’s New Year’s Eve events have become a benchmark for the local restaurant market, blending service quality, culinary excellence, and the unique character of each venue. Approximately one-third of attendees are returning guests, choosing to celebrate again with family or friends in the same restaurants, usually in groups of six to eight people.

“For us, New Year’s Eve is the moment when the energy of an entire year comes together. Beyond the menus and décor, what keeps people coming back is the way they feel welcomed. That balance between professionalism and human warmth remains the most authentic sign of Romanian hospitality,”
