Traditional Bulgarian Cuisine

Raketa is a traditional Bulgarian restaurant with a unique atmosphere. The menu is typically Bulgarian with a modern twist. The interior provides an ironic perspective of communism and its symbols.

One of the best places where you can taste the magic of traditional Bulgarian cuisine. The interior is very distinctive and represents the style of traditional Bulgarian homes. It's popular among tourists, so the earlier you book the better.

Big love for the little things! Stepping into this place feels like walking into someone’s home. This is a great restaurant for lunch or a casual dinner. On the menu, you can find contemporary Bulgarian food with a Mediterranean focus.

Used to be a bar now it is a brunch place during the day and a bar at night. And because of that, it is not on my personal favorite list anymore, but still a good and popular place.

Cozy bar right next to the "Raketa Rakia Bar" (which is not a bar actually) and that is pretty convenient because you can eat first and then drink. Both places are next to the "Zaimov Park", so you can end up drinking beer on some bench with your friends just like the locals do.

A bar and restaurant in one place. The menu is short but well-chosen and they change it often. Great garden, too!
