Vagabond

Restaurant review

Vagabond is a simple restaurant located on one of Sofia's calmer streets away from all the city's racket. Serving both Bulgarian and Russian foods, it is small enough to be cosy but also to make it worth reserving a table before you arrive.

Tasty World

A newcomer among Sofia's different restaurants, Tasty World offers international cuisine as well as Bulgarian dishes.

Puldin

It is well-known that Plovdiv has many historical sites such as the amphitheatre and has converted many of its old houses into hotels, restaurants, museums, galleries, and pubs. Although some of Plovdiv's houses in the old town have been renovated recently, they still blend in with its charm and accentuate the beauty of the town's architecture. An example is the Puldin restaurant.
