The best restaurants Sofia (София)

A very charming restaurant with umbrellas of all colours hanging from the ceiling of the covered terrace. L'Agarta offers a tempting menu and very healthy dishes concocted with local products. Everything is fresh, everything is colourful, we love the homemade bread! The portions are generous, there's something for everyone, whether it's a meat and rice stew or a wrap that's hard to crunch in one bite. Very pleasant atmosphere. Vegetarian dishes on offer. Good wine and drinks list. We come here all day long.

A tribute to chickpeas and Lebanese cuisine! This quality fast-food mini-chain where everything is homemade, founded in 2005 in Budapest (Hungary), has recently established itself in Sofia, with three addresses, of which this one is the most central, opposite the Sveti Sedmochislenitsi church. You can eat delicious vegetable soups on the go, hummus of course, labneh, that delicious drained yogurt served with olive and olive oil, and flat breads, all fresh and prepared at the minute.

The house has an old Bulgarian proverb as its slogan, "No matter how big the table is, what counts is the heart".

One comes from Sofia to spend a typical moment in this tavern with a good service, often frequented by groups. Beautiful Bulgarian wine list in three colors. Music and dances in traditional costume.

Desserts by a pastry chef. Local and organic ingredients. Natural drinks such as kombucha, boza, yaran, local beers and wines. What do you think? Superb!

A small green and enchanting house in its garden in a quiet street of the city center is the setting for this very nice Dragon where to eat and drink. The address is popular and if in the evening they will always find you a corner of the counter to nibble a salad, it is better to reserve if you want a table and if you come with several people. The atmosphere is festive, the decoration vintage, the Bulgarian and generous kitchen. You can sit in the garden, on the first floor or upstairs, just like at home. In the evening, the atmosphere is lively but always warm.

A beautiful discovery in a small street of the university district. This Architect's Club is installed in a quiet place, under a beautiful glass roof which shelters many green plants with a small romantic interior courtyard. You can eat a traditional cuisine of the day made from well selected local ingredients. Three dishes of the day are available in addition to the menu. The wines by the glass are all French, but Bulgarian wines are available in bottles. The service is stylish, as are the customers. A very nice moment.

Vegan friends, this little restaurant is for you. No animal products are served here. The burgers, tortillas, savory pies and other delicacies - are very good and generous, cooked by a very talented chef. The homemade soup of the day is a good option to start the meal, at any time of the day. Don't forget the drinks to go with it (tea, coffee, smoothie...) and opt for a vegan dessert that you should try if you're still skeptical of success. Mainly tourist population, there is sometimes waiting.

A charming address in the street in front of the Turkish embassy. One of its small houses in its small garden welcomes you with warmth as if you were at home.
