Q-ftetaria
Food classic not to be missed!
The meatballs are usually served with cabbage salad, lyutenitsa dip & fries. As a Bulgarian, I find kyufte to be a comforting dish that never disappoints.

65 Svetulki
Trendy place for a drink
"65 Svetulki" in central Sofia is a bar rapidly becoming a favorite destination for locals. What I love is its terrace and alternative bohemian design...

The Corner
Magnificent view
"The Corner" is a rooftop bar with live music located in Lozenets in Sofia. It has a great view over parts of Vitosha - I recommend visiting at night.

J.J. Murphy's
A piece of turf in a pub
"J.J. Murphy's" is probably the most a "pub" can offer in Sofia from its great beers and hearty food to accompany a Premier League match on a weekday.

Made in Home
Make yourself at home
"Made in Home" Sofia is a very cozy cafe and cake spot, sometimes even 'too' cozy. The different thing about it is that only foreigners seem to go there!
