  • I liked Sofia cafes. There you can meet local people, workers, traders, taxi drivers, students, whole families with children, hikers, old ladies with an aristocratic look, in a word: a whole humanity! And you can eat at every time of the day and have coffee or beer at every hour. I tried many of them, it's plenty of them all around the town, one for all: VANGELIS 2000 in 46 General Skobelev Boulevard. Just like all the other ones, he offers popular cuisine, sausages, chicken, salads, pizza, sweets, home made cakes, good rakja, vodka and beers, coffee, tea, low prices, very friendly, warm and kind service, what else you waiting for? Go and try!

    BG food: Menus

  • Bulgarian cuisine is quite heavily centred on salads, which are varied and tasty. One of the most famous is Shopska, which is diced tomatoes, cucumber and grated cheese (rather like Greek feta). Bulgarians have their own white cheese, similar to cheddar and rather nice, which they use a lot in cooking. They eat bread with everything.

    A very typical cold soup is tarator, made from yoghurt, water, diced cucumber and garlic (worth a try!)

    The main problem I found was the lack of menus in English. I learnt to read cyrillic script whilst I was there, but had it not been for my friends I'd have been very hungry! Some restaurants do have menus in English but you have to ask for them, and in these kind of restaurants the prices are normally higher than average. On the whole food is pretty cheap in Bulgaria - perhaps not surprising since their salaries are lower.

  • I'm not a big restaurant fanatic and I swear to snack bars and street vendors food
    Snack bars are cheap, good and this is where the normal people grab lunch or have a break!

    - kebab (djoener in Bulgarian)
    - pizza (you can't go wrong with pizza!)
    - shopska salata ( salad made of cucumbers, tomatoes, and goat cheese, yummie!)

    This is the most common salad in Bulgaria at all but it's name becomes from the people who live in the area around Sofia - 'shopy', and the name of the salad is 'shopska salata'.

  • Whichever restaurant you try, go for the national dishes -- not only they are made of natural ingredients, but also in a known, proven-in-practice ways (I mean Boeff Stroganoff will taste different at each place, Shopska salata won't).

    Shopska salata and mixed grill for the carnivores; and; snezhanka and mish-mash for the veggies.

  • It's tasty, it's refreshing, it helps when having hangover, it's unique. And it's different everywhere.

    Tarator. Order it in any restaurant, taste it and then try to prepare it yourself.
