1. Arbanashki Han Tavern
$ | |Stone walls and floor, beamed ceiling, and roaring fireplace combine to create a charming medieval-style tavern. Red embroidered tablecloths and pillar candles resting in a candelabra bring further warmth to the 50-seat space, whose walls are dotted with antlers. The outdoor tables sit on a covered patio and the restaurant's idyllic garden has rustic wooden tables shaded by trees and a little playground. The menu is well-rounded enough to please everyone; there's trout for pescetarians and a hearty chicken stew for carnivores. For vegetarians, some light salads, including the shepherd's salad, a Turkish dish of diced tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, and parsley. The shopska salad is similar to the shepherd's but with peppers and sirene, a white brine cheese that akin to feta. For kids, a juvenile dream come true: French fries with cheese.
8-10 ul. Georgi Kandilarov, Arbanasi, n/a Bulgaria, 5029, Bulgaria062-650–064 -
2. Arbat
$ | |A super central location draws in Arbanasi sightseers, who stay for Arbat's excellent home-made bread, best washed down with locally-brewed Boliarka beer. The food served is traditional Bulgarian pub grub. On any given day two of the four clay pot stews are available–fish, chicken, lamb, or veal–alongside grilled meats, fried potatoes, and shepherd's and shopska salads; the former is a Turkish salad of chopped tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and parsley and the latter is similar, but with peppers and cubes of sirene, a mild white brine cheese similar to feta. Service here is a bit slow, and some staff members do not speak English as well as others; check your bill to make sure there are no mistakes. Avoid the street-side tables closest to the bus stop.

3. Hotel-Tavern Gurko
$ | |The ground-floor restaurant at this family-owned inn on a beautiful cobblestone street serves classic Bulgarian fare in a traditional tavern setting. On the menu are wonderful house-made flatbread, kebabs (grilled vegetables available), and big salads; try the refreshing "vitamin salad"–shredded carrots, shredded apples, and diced celery tossed in a lemon-olive oil dressing. The inn is inside the Samovodska Charshiya area, and Gurko Street is lined on one side by picture-perfect traditional homes and on the other by a low stone wall and trees that overlook the Yantra River.

4. Izvora
$ | |A 17th-century residence turned tavern, Izvora has a verdant, spacious garden with swimming pool and play equipment. Service is slow, but there's free Wi-Fi and kids can entertain themselves outdoors. Expect standard Bulgarian pub fare such as meat stews served with housemade bread and Turkish-influenced salads of diced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, parsley, peppers, and sirene (a white brine cheese similar to feta). Yogurt with honey and nuts is a sweet, refreshing end to the meal. Wash it all down with Boliarka beer, brewed in Veliko Tarnovo. The coffee here is subpar; avoid it.

5. Lebed
$$ | |The 'Swan' restaurant is about 8 miles (around 20 minutes by taxi) southeast of central Sofia, but its setting alone—beside the shores of Pancharevo Lake—makes the effort of getting here worthwhile. The ambiance is simply breathtaking and the elegant interior, with its latticework screens and occasional Buddha statuary, is designed to evoke images of Japan and the Far East. That's more for the feng shui aspect, however, as the excellent food (both in taste and value) is more European in style, with a long list of great fish and meat dishes as well as several salad options. You can also dine in the garden during the summer.

6. Madona Guesthouse and Tavern
$ | |A family owned inn and tavern, Madona has a lengthy menu that offers plenty for vegetarians. The tavern, done up with wooden tables covered in traditional embroidered tablecloths, decorated in hunting trophies, and warmed by the working fireplace seats 30 across four rooms, with another 20 seats in the sweet little garden. On the menu are a range of local cheeses, including the butcher's cheese (white cheese mashed with red chili pepper, oil, and onion), omeletes, several types of salads, and plenty of meat dishes, including sausages, steak, and chicken. For dessert, breaded apples with honey is a nice local end to the meal. The hotel and tavern have free Wi-Fi.

7. Park Hotel Sevastokrator
$ | |Knock-out views and a fenced-in outdoor playground make this the ideal spot for sundowners and a break from the kids. The terrace and window tables at the Park Hotel Sevastokrator's restaurant offer sweeping vistas of Veliko Tarnovo and the Stara Planina Mountain, particularly picturesque when snow-capped. The food is traditional Bulgarian cuisine gone slightly upmarket to match the hotel setting; look for hearty meat stews served with thick slices of bread, roasted trout; fragrant garlic flat bread, and slices of grilled local cheeses, like sirene (a white brine cheese), topped with herbs from the garden. The restaurant seats 180, but reservations are recommended for outdoor and window tables.
