"The Monastery Kitchen" — a famous Bulgarian tavern that collects recipes from monasteries across the country and rotates them through a long, well-thumbed menu. Each dish lists the monastery it came from. Try the bean stew from Bachkovo or the lamb sach from Rila.
The setting is a converted house on a quiet side street, all wooden beams and embroidered tablecloths. The wine list goes deep into small Bulgarian producers. Booking strongly advised.
