A
Manastirska Magernitsa
Set in the courtyard of a 19th-century townhouse and decked out like an old-fashioned mehana (tavern) , this is among the best places in the city to sample some first-class, traditional Bulgarian cuisine. The menu is enormous and encompasses recipes collected from monasteries and villages all over the country, with dishes such as ‘drunken rabbit’ stewed in wine and ‘quails in a nest’, as well as salads, grills, fish, chicken, pork and game options. There’s also an extensive wine list, which includes some pricey vintage bottles.

Trops Kâshta
There are several branches of this budget cafeteria around town, offering Bulgarian favourites such as kebabche (grilled spicy meat sausages) and moussaka. The menu is in Bulgarian only, but you can point at whatever takes your fancy and trust to luck. Best to get here early as popular items get snapped up and the remainder get cold.

Pri Yafata
Another traditional-style place with agricultural tools, rifles, chergas (patterned rugs) and other rustic reminders adorning the walls. Hearty dishes of duck, rabbit, pork and chicken are on the lengthy menu, which also includes plenty of vegetarian options. It’s a very popular place, and reservations are advisable for the evenings, which regularly feature live music.
