Best place for Lunchtime food is the Joy cafe its on the right as you head for the gondola,good quaslity food and reasonably priced.
Evening meals can recommend the Joy again,Mamacitas,Katys and if you fancy a curry go to the Maj harajah.
Bars Buzz bar has two happy hours 3-8 then 10-12,Joy has a happy hour early ...

Bars Buzz bar has two happy hours 3-8 then 10-12,Joy has a happy hour early evening till 9 or 10,Funky bar is good and you have to visit White Magic and meet Cristo the ex bulgarian ski champion and olympic participant,he is a real character!!!
Snow was excellent only a few runs where the rocks were coming through apart from that it was excellent.
Big thanks to the ski party who made the holiday- Cautious for organising it all,Gung ho for the concentration faces,Yowzer yates for interacting with the locals,The Chairman for attending all ski lessons,Mrs Chairman for making a powercut in the Joy an different experience,Micky the fish for showing us how it should be done,Flog it for paying a horse drawn taxi drivers yearly income for one trip and finally Drip and Germ for keeping Borovets doctors in work!!!!
Looking forward to next year!!!!!

re: Borovets

We went to Borovets the last 2 years as a family. The chidren are now 9 and nearly 8. They love it and so do we. We have made friends with our original instructor and his family and he has visited us the last 2 summers.

Unfortunately we have to go in half term as I work at school. This year the prices have really shot up so we will not be going. Hopefully next year when all the planned inprovements have been made I can persuade Sir to part with his money again!!

Glad you enjoy ...

Hi

Good to hear your advice- looking to arrange a group to go out next New year - but seems to fall awkwardly with the Saturdays. You said you went for 9 days- was this a problem to book??

Any advice gratefully received!
