Moma Bulgarian Food & Wine
3.0/55 Reviews
Open 11:00-23:00
斯市栀子花:“I went there based on the reviews. It's right next to Radisson, on a side street separated from the pedestrian street. The environment is very good. The meal was not as good as expected. The roasted milk lamb mentioned in the reviews was not available. I ordered the deboned lamb head and mushrooms, the main dish was lamb leg, and the local Bulgarian red wine. The wine was well balanced and suitable for meat dishes. The dessert was Bulgarian pastry, which tasted better than the main dish.”
Hadjidraganov's Cellars
5.0/51 Reviews
Open 11:30-23:30
667***18:“Huge meat platter, delicious
【Taste】”
Central Sofia Restaurant
5.0/51 Reviews
Open 07:00-21:00
事事随缘:“Sofia Central Market opened in 1911. It is a neo-Renaissance style, integrating neo-Byzantine and neo-Baroque architectural elements. Bread, cakes, nuts and candies are sold on the first floor of the market, while clothes, accessories and jewelry are sold on the upper floor; fast food restaurants and some ancient relics are located underground. Can you imagine that a building with such a beautiful arch is actually Sofia's Central Market? The whole building looks more like an art gallery. In Europe, such ancient historical monuments and beautiful linear buildings are not all art galleries, art galleries, and museums? ... But in Sofia, what you may see when you push the door is just a vegetable market, a small commodity market, or even a public toilet. These necessities of life seem to be far away from architectural art, but think about it again, isn't life itself also a kind of art?
See the world as you wish”
Kohinoor Indian Restaurant
4.0/52 Reviews
Open 12:00-22:30
1101012430:“The restaurant is strategically located and serves authentic Indian cuisine.”
