No English menu at this place, which led to trouble. With the help of a phrase book, I cautiously selected a tomato salad, on the grounds that this couldn't go far wrong. My friend, more daring, pointed randomly at a fairly inexpensive item on the menu and ended up eating chopped and fried chicken livers, without potatoes or vegetables of any kind! Bulgarians seems to eat and enjoy a lot of offal, so, if this isn't your idea of a culinary delight, stick to places with an English menu, or safe dishes you can translate accurately.
This is allegedly a cheap place, but the waiter will do his best to argue! The rip-off here was something special, we thought. The food was OK, but nothing to write home about. We had ordered cheap-ish dishes, but the waiter tried to charge us for the three most expensive. After a long, passionate argument in Russian (which two of us spoke, and lots of people speak in Bulgaria) we got the prices down to something a bit closer to reality. I wouldn't go here unless you speak good Bulgarian/Russian, and relish a good fight.
