Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hey Anne and Tommy,

there are a lot of different restaurants, and the question is what you like to eat?
Steak, Pizza, Curry ??? ask anyone else.

If you want to eat bulgarian cuisine try the Snackbar Elit, for a short stop after skiing, or later the evening to sit at the open fire, see your meat was grilled and try some of the homemade rakia or wine.
Good for a fantastic dinner is the Tschutschuliga in the old centre of the town near the postoffice and Bor Hotel, or check out the Tavern from the Victoria Hotel, good wine and food.

If you like something real bulgarian take a cab or the last bus and go to Samokov and have a unbelievable diner in the Starata Kaschta. So cheap but so fantastic, fantastic wine, a good house wine from melnik region cost under 3 lev the half litre.
Eating great and live folk music at the weekend.

Have a great time

Hiya
Just got back from Rila, had a fantastic time, food in hotel was much much better than I expected, lots of Salad and vegetable/vegetarian dishes, chips and pasta always on the menu, the only thing that was sparse was meat, usually 2 dishes but not always to my liking, but then again I didn't go hungry as everything else was fantastic. Lots and lots of choices of bread and cakes as well, healthy fruit, yogurt etc in abundance. Very clean and hot too, and a microwave in the restaurant if it wasn't hot enough!

You don't need to get dressed up, some people were coming in in ski suits as they had been out night skiing, tracksuits worn by some so don't worry about it we were in jeans every night.

Can't recommend too many out places as we ate with ski school at lunch on the slopes and only had 2 meals in Boro, one was the read lion steak house, that was ok, nice piece of steak and chips but very popular on the Friday night and table had to be booked if you wanted to eat before 9!!!!

Have fun, wish we were still there.
