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

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.

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

Manastirska Magernitsa

Magdalena Rahn — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 10:00:00 +0300

As many of us know, when foreign guests come to visit, a traditional-themed restaurant is in order.

Tabiet

Magdalena Rahn — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 09:59:00 +0300

It would seem that when Tabiet opened in 2003, it was unique in that it was among the first "Western"-orientated restaurants in Bulgaria.

Bistro Nashentsi

Lydia Dimitrova — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 10:00:00 +0300

A new bistro opened less than a year ago, where economical dining is not accompanied by tasteless surroundings, vulgar music, suspicious dinners and blaringly cheap food.

Hawaii

Petar Kostadinov — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:00:00 +0300

Hawaii is not a place that will surprise you with its high-quality service or exquisite surroundings. It will charm you, however, with its simplicity and lack of desire to be anything more than what it is: a place to have good fish and a beer after a long day on the beach.

Kohinoor

Magdalena Rahn — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 09:53:00 +0300

My parents were Southern California yuppies, and modest though they were with their yuppiness, they had their share of late 1970s / early 1980s curry parties.

Dinner al fresco

Magdalena Rahn — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 10:00:00 +0300

It is because we have such cold, grey winters that the arrival of warm weather is made all the sweeter.

The House with the Clock

Magdalena Rahn — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 10:00:00 +0300

There was always something magical about Kushtata s chasovnika ("The House with the Clock"), something that, while walking past, exuded a mix of old-world class and modern affluence.

Toscana

Petar Kostadinov — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:00:00 +0300

Going to Toscana restaurant was not planned but rather a random choice on a sunny Sunday afternoon when, in an empty Sofia, we were looking for a nice place to sit outside

Salt & Sweet Cookery

Lydia Dimitrova — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:00:00 +0300

A charming bistro has recently opened, focusing on fresh and healthy dining, in a darling stylish setting.

Diana

Clive Leviev-Sawyer — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 10:00:00 +0300

It is not every restaurant in Bulgaria that has Cold War curiosity value.

Nino

Magdalena Rahn — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 10:00:00 +0300

While finding a restaurant with a peaceful garden is not the most challenging aspect of choosing a restaurant, matching high-quality cuisine to the garden experience can be a bit more complex.

Salome

Andrew Ridgway — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 10:00:00 +0300

From the outside, the restaurant is unremarkable: another building along Rakovska, yes, with a sign, but despite having seen it before I chose to visit, I had never paid it any special attention.

Maraia Fusion, Bar & Diner

Lydia Dimitrova — Fri, 29 May 2009 10:00:00 +0300

Sushi aficionados will rejoice, interior decor enthusiasts, perhaps not. Maraia Fusion has been open for about half a year and is the sister restaurant to the more-than-a-decade-old Maraia in Lozenets.

Venus Club / клуб Венус

Magdalena Rahn — Fri, 22 May 2009 10:00:00 +0300

Crossing the threshold into Venus Club was like stepping into a New Jersey diner, where the decor has not changed in nearly 20 years and it is all the better for it

Aegean Fish Restaurant

Gabriel Hershman — Fri, 15 May 2009 10:00:00 +0300

On one of the first warm afternoons in May we arrived for lunch in the garden of the Aegean Fish Restaurant. This – to offer a "signpost" – was previously home to Egur Egur, an Armenian establishment that used to have two restaurants in Sofia but now only has one – in Dobroudja Street.

Cafe Gallery Prague

Magdalena Rahn — Fri, 08 May 2009 10:00:00 +0300

Weekday lunches attract governmental employees, Sofia businesspersons and the odd literary figure, while dinner time brings in the same, plus a younger, and/or more counterculture bunch
