Nice restaurant, highly recommended. It is decorated in a very unique way, with great attention to detail. The food was excellent. We shared the large platter, which was more than enough. A reservation is an advantage, but communicating in English over the phone was no problem at all.

The number matters, but the stories matter more: warm service, good food, and a cozy Sofia hideaway people remember.
