The beef tartare was the best thing we ordered. Honestly better than some French bistros I&#39;ve been to. Ribs were tender, fell right off the bone. Even the Caesar salad was done properly, not drowned in dressing. Place was busy but we got seated fast. Would go back just for that tartare again.

The terrace really is lovely at sunset, and the wurst plate was fresh and well-prepared. I just wish there were more vegetable sides to balance it out.

Upstairs is quiet enough to actually get things done, which I appreciated. Staff let me sit with my laptop without hovering, and the flat white was made properly. They even have some English magazines lying around if you need a break. Just a comfortable spot to spend an afternoon, nothing fancy but it works.

Big portions and the price was right for what you get. Had the traditional stuff, left full. Solid spot if you&#39;re in central Sofia and want something authentic without overpaying.

All-you-can-eat sushi was fresh and the portions were solid. Staff were friendly too. Sat outside, which was nice. Place is right by the metro so easy to get to.

Two scoops for 4.60 lev, that&#39;s a solid deal around here. Cheaper than the other places on the same street for sure. I got mascarpone and cheesecake, both were pretty good. Nothing fancy, just a solid stop if you&#39;re nearby.

The pizza here is solid&mdash;light crispy crust, and the burrata salad was really good. Got a bit loud near the pizza station, but still a chill spot to hang with friends. 🍕

The pizza crust was perfectly thin and the toppings felt fresh. My salad was pretty hearty too. Place was a bit loud for my taste, but the food made up for it.

Stopped by for lunch near Zaimov Park. Got the grilled meat plate &mdash; the BBQ smell hit me before I even sat down. Meat was juicy, not dry at all. Portion was big enough that I couldn&#39;t finish it. For the price, it felt fair. Just wish they had more veggie sides to balance it out. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area.

The lamb and pork ribs were properly tender, no complaints there. Server knew the menu well, helped me pick something quick since I was short on time. Place was busy but food came out fast enough. Solid spot for a quick meat fix.

The tuna steak was solid, and the terrace is quiet enough for a real conversation. A glass of Sancerre paired nicely with it.

Stopped by for a quick gelato and coffee. The Fiat 500 out front is a nice touch. Gelato was smooth, coffee did the job. Service was fast enough for a short break.

The cakes here are really good&mdash;I tried the pistachio one and it was soft, not too sweet. Place is cozy but the self-service thing threw me off at first. Took me a minute to figure out where to order. Still, worth it for the dessert selection.

Been coming here for a while now. The masala tea is still properly spiced, not weak like some places. Had the potato roti and chickpea dish again last week, consistent as always. Mango lassi was a good way to finish. It&#39;s not fancy but it&#39;s reliable. That&#39;s why I keep going back.

Stopped by for lunch and honestly liked the vibe. Got the quinoa bowl, portion was decent for the price. They handled my friend&#39;s gluten thing without making it awkward. Staff spoke English well, which helped since my Bulgarian is still basic. Nothing fancy but I&#39;d go back.

The pistachio baklava is dangerously good&mdash;sweet, flaky, totally addictive. Worth a stop just for that.

Cash only, kinda annoying tbh. But the portions are huge and the food was solid. Just make sure you hit the ATM before you go.

The grilled octopus was the only thing I cared about and it didn&#39;t disappoint. Tender, smoky, just the right amount of salt. Had it with a side of lemon potatoes, those were decent too. The rest of the menu I skipped. Honestly, the food alone makes this place worth stopping at.

Small local spot, always busy. Got the grilled meat plate&mdash;portions were solid for the price. Service was quick even with the crowd. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot.

The Easter bread with Turkish delight was so good, fluffy and sweet. A bit pricey but honestly worth it for the quality. Just remember to pre-order if you want one next year 😅

The lunch menu is a solid pick &mdash; everything came out well executed and the price felt fair for the portion. Would happily go back.

Solid kebab spot in Sofia. Meat was cooked right, not dry. Prices fair for what you get. Took a while to get the order though, maybe 15 min. Still, one of the better ones around. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area.

The live band was a nice touch, and the Caesar salad really stood out. Bartenders knew their stuff too&mdash;my gin cocktail was spot on. Solid spot for a casual night out, though it did get a bit loud later.
