Traditional Bulgarian Restaurants in Borovets

Traditional Bulgarian Restaurants in Borovets

Unlike Bansko and its 200 or so traditional Bulgarian mehanas (taverns), Borovets has a number of what we would refer to as a "jack of all trade" eateries which will cook you everything from pizza to veal tongue. This makes listing the best mehanas in town tricky.

However, through extensive research, we have been able to narrow down the best traditional restaurants to the handful listed below.

The Black Cat

The Black Cat around the corner has a huge open restaurant and one of the best selections of good local wine and some of the finest local dishes in resort!

Strong on service, this place is an essential part of your culinary tour of Borovets and should not be missed!

Restaurant Kharma

Superb for slopside dining!

Kharma is a relaxed and friendly restaurant come bar which is found directly opposite the Rila Hotel on the main ski-in to Borovets Village.

With one of the main bunny-hill drags outside the front door and the four man quad a stones throw past that, Kharma is great at any time of the day or night!

The Green King

One great “kid-friendly” eatery can be found opposite the gondola station run by Eva and family . They serve serve a nice mix of good quality local and international cuisine at very good prices!

The Red Lion

The Red Lion steak house (again on main street) has a vast menu and the option to catch almost every sporting fixture available on the many TVs while you eat.

The Alpin

The Alpin Pub (below the Alpin Hotel) does a good attempt at an Irish pub but the menu is “internationally diverse” to say the least and has a good go at just about every national dish, including a good roast beef and Yorkshire pudding!

Katina BBQ & Steak House

Great Bulgarian dishes can be found at the Katina BBQ and steakhouse on Main Street.

In particular their "satche", a traditional dish with pork and chicken served on a sizzling skillet can be recommended and they have a good selection of local wines too.
