Ive never paid 8levs for a large beer in Boro.

Yes the Alpina does do food. All very reasonable.
Its a mix of of things like typical eggs, beans (proper heinz), burgers, chips (kept the kids happy) type stuff. A few local things like Karvarma and a few specials i.e. whatever fresh stuff Arie can get his hands on and do something with. Oh, I nearly forgot, Arie does a fantastic bread and butter pudding with custard! Very Happy

re: Borovets, watch your prices

Hi Mr p.
Last year the average price was around 3 lev a pint.
Dont want to worry you but we stayed in the Rila and the food was poor to say the least so i would find the Alpina on the first day.
On saying that you will have a brilliant time so dont worry.

MR P , I stayed at the Rila. My family found the food ok. It wasn't the best in the world but we all found something we liked, for breakfast and dinner. you'll have a great time no worries.
