Hi guys i'm in post holiday depression now after a fantastic week at Boro - loads of snow, not much sun but hey its the snow that counts! For anyone who hasn't been before here are some tips for a couple of good nights out - our group ranged from 17 - 45. Best food - Blue, Titanic (the steak is 10/10), Bulgarian Village (opposite Iglika slope where the ski show is) Good for a taste of real Bulgarian food and one of the yummiest waiters I have ever seen, goes by the name of George! ...

Give Katy's Steak House a miss - not much atmosphere or choice regardless of what the guy outside says. Silver Eagle also does a good lunch and usually a free glass of wine to go with it. Best for lively nights - goes without saying its the Buzz Bar. Francos is also up there for having the best barman in town - the wonderful Tommy, he's not a bad snowboard instructor either! 101 cocktails was quite lively if a bit pricier than the others. Have a brilliant week I can't wait until next year!!

There were four of us and we do like a drink or two but prices for dinner for us all with a bottle of wine and a couple of drinks ranged from 80 leva (£29) to 95 leva (£34) That included steaks! Lunches varied from 35 leva down in Borovets and 45 leva at the top - its definitely dearer up there! You can eat even cheaper if you fancy pizza or pasta but skiing made us all very hungry!re: Just back from Boro
i am jealous we have just got back from the Rila it was fantastic the food was so much better than last year. Ate out twice which was nice, agree about Katys steak house, we sat down to eat but then walked out before ordering because the atmosphere and attitudes of staff was awful. just booking for next year, it is a great place, my 6 year old is now a better skier than me!!!! (not that it takes much)re: Just back from Boro
Steve,
Don`t expect too much at the evening meals at the Rila, stayed there for the new year & the drop in standard was very noticable from the previous year.( breakfeast ok)
However we ate most evenings in the resturant up the side street opposite the Rila ( forgot its name) walk 20yrds past the erotic bar & you will meet at guy outside trying to get your buisness. The cost most evenings for monster steaks etc 2 adults 1no 12yr & 1no 14yr old with plenty of drinks was 30 ...

Give it a go & you won`t regret it as the staff are superb, TOP TIP is pop in earlier in the day and book your table. We had no choice as our party was 18 in total.

Have a good one
