Fifth Avenue

Gabriel Hershman — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 09:00:00 +0300

One of those places striving to be authentic but somehow a gimmicky joint.

Spaghetti Company

Gabriel Hershman — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 09:00:00 +0300

If you're in the mood for a light dinner or a business lunch – one that is not too expensive and you only have, say, 60 to 90 minutes to spare – then you could do well to visit the Spaghetti Company.

L'Etranger

Gabriel Hershman — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 09:00:00 +0300

The restaurant trade seems to suffer more than most during times of crisis and so it's nice that an old favourite has weathered the storm.

Bodega

Gabriel Hershman — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 09:00:00 +0200

Word-of-mouth and the soft strumming of the Spanish guitar drew us to the newly opened Bodega* in Studentski Grad for a birthday celebration for four.

Hadjidraganov's Cellars

Gabriel Hershman — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 09:00:00 +0200

Overall, a good experience with dishes presented with style and imagination in accordance with Bulgarian traditions.

Pastorant

Gabriel Hershman — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 09:00:00 +0300

Perhaps it was seeing the movie Eat, Pray, Love that turned my taste buds irrevocably towards Italian food, or perhaps it was just the cold weather.

La Piccola Casa

Gabriel Hershman — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 10:00:00 +0300

Imitations of Italian food often leave much to be desired – basically nothing seems to beat the authentic variety, so my expectations of La Piccola Casa were modest.

Restaurant Review: Sasa

Steve Downes — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 08:59:00 +0300

The ideal place for a special occasion

Buñuel

Gabriel Hershman — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 10:00:00 +0300

You can often spot a newly opened restaurant by the exceedingly polite staff, and so it was with Buñuel, an old house shrouded in trees with an elegant forecourt and upstairs terrac

The Olive Garden

Simon Feek — Thu, 06 May 2010 10:00:00 +0300

Apparently the rear garden opens soon, so bring on the summer!

New Lide

Simon Feek — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 10:00:00 +0300

Would I recommend the New Lide to you? Yes. Its good value, original and varied menu lends itself very well to a business lunch.

Cactus

Mila Kolchagova — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 10:00:00 +0200

We had planned our dinner at the new Cactus restaurant in Sofia’s Lozenets borough, one of two restaurants under the same ownership and name.

Bacchus Restaurant of the Year

The Sofia Echo staff — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 09:58:00 +0200

Varna restaurant wins Bacchus’ ninth annual restaurant of the Year award

Asado Grill Restaurant

Simon Feek — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 09:59:00 +0200

I really like steak, which is why I took my vegetarian girlfriend to Asado Argentinean Grill Restaurant one Saturday night.

Kohinoor

Gabriel Hershman — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 09:58:00 +0200

Sofia is home to a mere handful of Indian restaurants but each seems well-frequented, especially in the winter when a hot curry banishes the cold and the January blues.

Fish house Pri Yafata

Heidi Popova — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 10:00:00 +0200

An ideal venue for intimate groups who want to enjoy an exclusive fish menu and are willing to spend more than in kruchmas or pizzerias.

PASTORANT

Lydia Dimitrova — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 +0200

Dining at Pastorant is like visiting the home of a prominent chef who in her down time does not exhaust herself with elaborate feasts but instead puts together simple meals of high quality ingredients, creating basic yet surprisingly good results.

Amigos

Lydia Dimitrova — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 09:59:00 +0300

A slight stroll from Sofia’s Vitosha Boulevard is a very un-European eatery, a Tex-Mex restaurant named Amigos

Good morning foodie

Vanya Rainova — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:00:00 +0300

A few dining out suggestions when breakfast in bed is not an option

Incanto

Magdalena Rahn — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:00:00 +0300

Try naming a restaurant. The atmosphere, the food, the clientèle, the experience, your dreams – all contained in one word, one phrase.
