Restaurant "Staria Chinar"

• ★★★★☆

  It’s located in an old house with beautiful nostalgic decor and a patio. Cozy, warm, like visiting a relative. We were here for lunch on a Saturday. It’s quite full, with people celebrating occasions. We ordered lamb shank, pork ribs, some sort of minced meat patty, and shopka salad. For dessert we got cream caramel (it’s like a flan) and banana cake. Shopka salad was good (but this doesn’t seem like a dish you can mess up). Honestly I am disappointed with the lamb shank, it was dry and they didn’t put too much gravy on top either. Especially as the waiter recommended the lamb shank when I was

  Every single plate went back empty, which says it all really! So so good!! 😍 Honestly one of the best meals. 😋 We ordered loads: Salad 🥗, the grilled calamari was gorgeous, so tender with a lovely lemon butter sauce. The sea bass fillets on sweet potato purée with cherry tomatoes, olives and capers were cooked to perfection, and the seafood risotto and steamed clams were equally delicious. Lovely staff too, and there’s an English menu as well which is handy. Already planning what to order next time x

  The food at Staria Chinar was poetry — I had no idea that Bulgarian cuisine was so delicious and rich in unique flavours, and this place showcases it beautifully. Our waiter, Ivo, was professional, caring, and genuinely knowledgeable; his presence made our visit truly memorable. Try potatoe balls for a fascinating starter, spoil your palate with shopska salad with cow cheese that will take you to the mood, and pick and choose from mains you won't ever forget - my 12h lamb was divine!

  Fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was extremely delicious and beautifully prepared, and the service was absolutely spot-on — attentive, genuinely kind, warm and welcoming without ever being intrusive. Everything runs smoothly and the whole place feels very well organized. Even the bathrooms were spotless and well maintained. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent hospitality. Highly recommended!

  Indeed the place worth recommending. Great choice of wines. Dishes were a mixed experience. All from grill was great. Moussaka was a shame however. It shall be a flagship dish of Bulgaria and tuned to be like cheap bistro dish spoiled with pesto. As long as you avoid moussaka you shall be satisfied ;-)
