Phoenecia Sofia

Lebanese cuisine

Bogomil from Sofia

""Phoenecia" Sofia is actually the oldest Lebanese restaurant in Sofia. What I like about it is that it hasn't changed over the years - everything tastes..."

Phoenicia restaurant offers traditional Lebanese and Arabic food in general. The restaurant has been around for quite some time and in fact it is the oldest Lebanese restaurant in Sofia.

Over the years I have been regularly ordering from the restaurant and have been there a few times as well. What really surprises me is that in well over 10 years the restaurant never ever changed the taste of their dishes and I must say they taste really great.

I have been to the Arab world and I must say that the food at Phoenicia is very authentic and really matches what I tried in the Middle East. The restaurant itself is not your usual fancy restaurant and in fact it is a bit worn out but this should not fool you as the food is the main theme here as well as the atmosphere.

If you fancy a Lebanese meal – this is the place to visit. They also do belly dancing nights and often have various Arabic events, but be warned that these events are very noisy and crowded.

Order for for a delivery and you will be pleasantly surprised at how it will be presented at your door.

Swimming Pool

Art space with a view in Sofia

"Swimming Pool" in Sofia is one of the art galleries I really enjoy visiting - people often go there more for the view and vibe than the art itself!
