Sliven Restaurants

  1. Deboya Restaurant

    The fairly cavernous Deboya is very central, located next to the Hotel Sliven's front parking. It's a popular place for pizza and traditional Bulgarian dishes.

  2. Pri Fabrikadzhiyata

    With a curious name that literally means 'at the manufacturer's place', this somewhat posh restaurant in the courtyard of the Hotel National Palace serves an extensive range of good Bulgarian dishes and features somewhat bland live renditions of forgotten pop chestnuts on most nights. There's seating indoors, outdoors and (when there's enough of a crowd) in an atmospheric 18th-century house next door, which once belonged to a famous revival-period industrialist, Dobri Zheliakov.

  3. Restaurant Maki

    A large and popular restaurant just off the square, this place has a huge outdoor section for summer dining, though the interior is somewhat bland. It does good grills and salads, among other fare.

  4. Restaurant Toma

    This lively mehana outside the Hotel Toma has a typically large menu of traditional Bulgarian specialities, including parts of animals you might never have expected could (or should) be eaten - but never mind, the food and the atmosphere are great, with live Bulgarian (and sometimes Greek) music performed nightly, diners weaving between tables in the throes of traditional Balkan dance. Hotel Toma guests enjoy a 10% discount.
