The Dining Experience

We loved the way the menu balances traditional flavors with options suited for different preferences. You can expect a welcome drink—champagne, rakia, or a soft drink—setting a celebratory tone right from the start.

The meal itself is well-rounded, including:
– A fresh salad to start
– Spinach pancakes filled with vegetables, a popular Bulgarian dish
– A hearty chicken fillet with gravy and a side dish
– An ice cream cake for dessert

Vegetarians aren’t left out; they can opt for fish or pasta with tomato sauce, along with fresh fruit salad. Kids are also thought of, with options like chicken nuggets and chips, paired with ice cream cake and soft drinks.

Guests have noted that while the food generally hits the spot, some found that it came out quickly one after the other, which made the wait before the show feel longer. This suggests the kitchen prioritizes timing to ensure everyone’s meal is served before the entertainment begins.

The Live Music and Shows

One of the highlights of this experience is the band performance, which features well-known musical pieces. The energy of the live music really enhances the evening, encouraging guests to tap their feet and perhaps even dance. The band’s repertoire seems to cater to a wide audience, blending traditional Bulgarian tunes with more contemporary hits.

Guests have commented positively on the quality of the performances, which add a vibrant backdrop to the meal. The lively music, combined with the scenic views, creates a festive atmosphere that’s both entertaining and culturally enriching.
