Went out to Samokov town on business 4 years ago in September and eleven of us had a 3 course meal with beers and wine in a nice quality hotel and all for £33.
They were amazed when I left a 20 Lev tip.
I think that these prices in the resorts are artificially inflated because they all think we will pay whatever, especially the British.

re: pamps not very cheap!

it will be nice for people who have never gone out of the resorts to visit the authentic bulgarian towns you will find prices much cheaper, a real welcome wherever you go, traditional bulgarian culture, mind you the more we go to these places guess what the prices will go up there too Very Happy we cannot win Crying

Alternatively try Smolyan - some good bars and restaurants there for a fraction of what you pay in Pamps

Also it is worth bearing in mind the much lower exchange rate. 2.5 lev is quite a big difference from the circa 3 lev we used to enjoy.

re: pamps not very cheap!

Daniel, that has little or nothing to do with the actual price increase in lev, it simply means that we get double whammied when we pay. People are complaining about the price increase NOT the extra we pay due to exchange rates. Sad
