Investments of 15 million in the restoration and modernization of group restaurants

City Grill Group has invested over 13 million euros in the restoration and modernization of Hanu’ Berarilor Oprea Soare restaurant. The restaurant’s design project, created by architect Mihai Popescu, is an example of adaptation to the historical architecture of the Class A historical monument building. Thus, the gastronomic beer house Hanu’ Berarilor Oprea Soare preserves the original construction elements of architect Petre Antonescu and combines them with contemporary design, modern lighting elements, and a terrace balanced with plenty of greenery.

Also in 2023, City Grill Group completed an investment of almost 2.5 million euros in the modernization of restaurants in the Buongiorno.Italian network.

Since the first restaurant, City Grill Group has been based on the idea of providing customers with a suitable place to invite a business partner for a meal, creating a necessary relaxation spot during lunch breaks, with family, or with friends.

Whether talking about iconic recipes or any other dish from the menus of City Grill Group restaurants, the ingredients used are the best for customers. The “secret” of the dishes in City Grill Group restaurants lies in fresh ingredients, carefully controlled and tested in origin, without food additives. From freshly fried, hand-cut potatoes to cage-free eggs and vegetables grown in the group’s greenhouse near Târgoviște, the philosophy on which the group’s chefs rely is to extract the natural taste of ingredients, enhanced by pairing and spices such as salt and pepper.

In all City Grill Group restaurants, where daily cooking is done for almost 15,000 customers, oil, glass, cardboard, and plastic are recycled, and food waste is reduced through active campaigns.
