HADJIDRAGANOV'S HOUSES

Restaurant cuisine dEurope €€
5/5
1 review

This restaurant is located in the center of Sofia and occupies a beautifully restored house from 1866. This house completely reflects the architecture and style of the Bulgarian villages of Koprivshtitsa, Zheravna, Melnik or Bansko. Rustic and charming, it distills an authentic atmosphere and one is plunged back into the past and deep Bulgaria. A little folkloric all the same. In your plate, a copious and traditional cuisine, mainly based on meat and prepared in a barbecue style. We warn you, the portions are generous.

RAKETA RAKIA BAR

World cuisine restaurant
3.7/5
3 reviews

Communist propaganda panels for the decoration and a crazy atmosphere created by very funny waiters. The success of this typical address is not denied and attracts the golden youth of Sofia. On the menu: soups, varied grills and abundant salads, good home-made desserts. The portions are generous, the setting elegant and the atmosphere eclectic. The house distinguishes itself by offering at least 160 kinds of Bulgarian rakia. Dare to be original! High quality service. However, the terrace, closed in winter, where you can smoke without restriction, is rather... smoky.

1 review

A table that offers dishes full of freshness executed with refinement. A nice discovery of the local Bulgarian cuisine. We will start with the house salad (fresh vegetables, eggs, 2 local cheeses and cooked ham) or one of the various starters, then we will continue with the famous Bulgarian barbecue and its assortment of meats for two people. Save some room for the local cheeses and the dessert of the day and don't forget to wash down the feast with a good local wine.

With its terrace under an arbour, a room in an impressive old-fashioned room with wooden ceiling and half-timbering, and a courtyard lined with lime trees, it is a picturesque and historical address.

HADJIDRAGANOVITE KASHTI RESTAURANT

Restaurant cuisine dEurope €€

Beautiful traditional Bulgarian restaurant near the famous Lions Bridge. The name of the establishment means "From the house of Hadji Dragan". They are 4 shell buildings arranged around a courtyard, each representing a typical architectural style of the cities of Bansko, Melnik, Zheravna and Koprivshtitsa. It enters as sent by a time machine to the second half of the nineteenth century. This comfortable, gastronomic journey will be an opportunity to learn more about the country's customs and culture, notwithstanding a culinary discovery of Bulgarian culinary specialties. We sit and eat on beautifully opened wooden furniture, surrounded by many old articles and decorative objects (some pieces are more than centenary). Even the sofas are decorated with authentic Bulgarian carpets. Winter evenings, you can enjoy large chimneys nestled in beautiful alcoves and enjoy tasty dishes, accompanied by a good Bulgarian hot wine or rakija house. In summer, enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the green garden. The menu includes a wide range of traditional specialties, many types of meat (lamb, calf, pork, chicken, fish, pork), vegetables and desserts, complemented by an impressive Bulgarian wine map. Not to mention the unique specialties that you will not be able to try anywhere else, such as the Battery v yaitze, this whole chicken filled with sausages and mushrooms, cooked in a large egg egg hanging 180 min (order ahead). The egg is put in front of you and, to open it, it will have to be celebrated with a special hammer (and the assistance of a server of course). A real gastronomic performance! Other traditional specialty: Hlebnitsa soup served in a bowl of bread or lamb kebab served in clay tiles with mint sauce. An address not to be missed!

We won't be asked twice! On the menu: meat and fish, risottos, pasta Bolognese, vegetarian version if you wish. The home-made macaroons will seduce you. Everything is orchestrated by the chef Peter Yankov.
