Ok, please please please visit Hunters Resturant. Its on the road leading up to the Gondola, next to Chalet Iskar.
The food there was exellent, very reasonable,and the family run bussiness had a great friendly atmosphere, its a must!

Chilli peppers in the Main Street also had delicious food, efficiant service and good looking, funky decor.( the huge rear projection screens helped!)

The last place that i would suggest you visit once at least, is Frankos. We went here during the day for mid snowboard munch and evenings out. The food was good, and the party atmosphere at night was great. Check out the Crazy Bar guy (not sure if he was the manager) he dances to every english chessy pop song that they blast out!

Anyways to all you who are going sonn, i hope the snow conditions improve,im sure it will, and hope you have a good a time as i did! borovets rocks!

Richard, the skiing will be great if the snow falls as forecast next week ! And don't forget, even now, people are skiing up the top of the Gondola where conditions are supposed to be ok - not great - but still skiable ! The nursery slopes o/s the Rila are looking rather sorry but even they are swarming with people Very Happy

Concerning Hunters resturant the son of the family that run it was our snowboard instructor, svillain. He introduced us to the resturant, when it was one our our groups 3oth birthday, and they even made her huge cake. The food was really good, and the british tea towels across the wall reminded us of home!
