The name of the inn comes from one of the wealthiest merchants of Little Paris, Dumitru Oprea Soare, who built the house on the land inherited from his father. In terms of architecture, the building of the current restaurant follows the Neo-Romanian style, reminding of the old manorial houses and monumental buildings, such as the Stavropoleus Monastery from Bucharest or the Curtea de Argeş Monastery.
Great place for traditional Romanian food and draft beer.

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world, Cărturești Carusel opened its doors in 2015 after five years of a massive reconstruction of an old building. Carturesti is a Romanian bookstore chain, very appreciated by its readers for the large offer of books and for the souvenirs it offers.
The 19th-century building, owned by the Chrissoveloni family, once served as a bank headquarters for about 30 years until it closed in 1948. Later on, it was used as a men’s clothing store and then a general store during Communist times. After the collapse of the Communist regime, the building was abandoned and fell into disrepair until it was rescued by Jean Chrissoveloni, the great-grandson of the first owner, Nicolas Chrissoveloni.
Considered to be Carturesti’s main flagship or concept store, the 1,000 square meter space takes up six floors and is home to more than 10,000 books and 5,000 albums and DVDs.
