2 Best Restaurants in Bulgaria

This large, elegant restaurant in the heart of Sofia covers two floors of an exquisitely restored old corner house. The spacious dining rooms are furnished with natural wood, including the window blinds and the highly polished floors. The food is excellent and the service impeccable, and the menu offers a wide range of classic dishes from both Italy and Eastern Europe. Guests can also dine among the greenery of the outdoor garden during the summer months.

L'Etranger is very popular with the local expat community, and even French visitors swear by its authenticity and the high standards of head chef Olivier Roche. The elegant surrounds are meant to—and do—evoke the charms of a Parisian bistrot. The daily changing menu is not printed up but is instead brought to your table on a white board. French classics like rabbit make regular appearances, served up in a variety of delicious ways.
