Hi all,I'm off to Bansko for the first time on 15th March next year. Know its a bit early but was wondering about the best Bulgarian type places to eat and drink as opposed to the British bars etc. Want to try and get a taste of the country if possible.
Thanks in advance, any others from this forum out there that time?

Go down into the old town , not on the main road, go down the cobbled roads behind the church. there are lots of good Mehanas, at sensible prices, not like up by the gondola.I recommend Gusoka and Baryakova, but there are lots of other good ones

Cheers Dave, got a map of the town from the net, is the church you mention opposite the war memorial?Chuts

yes, there are a few in the square there, but they are expensive, , go and explore the alleys.re: Bansko
Hi Chutney. I will be in Bansko with 1 0r2 others around that time.As Dave has said head into the old town away from Gondola try and pick one that does not have a tout outside trying to lure you in.

almost agree with Daniel Snell, although as you go down Pirin St towards town, there is a mehana on the right hand side, just after the first bunch of souvenir shops (i.e. about 50 yards before you get to lions). it's almost opposite the strazhite...i don't know what it is called but it generally has a guy outside with a poncho on trying to get you in! It's worth a visit as I've never had a bad meal there...
re: Bansko
Ah yes forgot about that one, that is pretty good and perhaps an exception to the rule!re: Bansko
Always forget the names of the restuarants but agree with everyone above and a couple of recommendations from me would be; firstly a mehena on the left as you go down the main street from the gondola to the main square, it is roughly half way down and think it is opposite an american style piza place, relatively small but great staff and lovely food. Secondly going down the same street at the last cross roads before you get to the church / memorial turn left and there is a larger mehena on ...

We are in Bansko around this time so we will be eating at both these places, don;t take my place
