Under the Linden Trees—Pod Lipite

Under the linden trees (Pod Lipide), one of the oldest restaurants in Sofia, is still one of the best places to try traditional Bulgarian cuisine. The fresh, usually small farm-grown products and the traditional recipes are just some of the reasons the restaurant is still one of the favourite places in Sofia. The central location and traditional atmosphere make it a great way to discover traditional Bulgarian specialties, while enjoying live Bulgarian music and dances on weekend nights. It’s a popular place so advance reservation is essential. The wide restaurant menu covers everything Bulgarian cuisine can offer from fresh salads, traditional recipe appetisers, home-made bread and some of the best BBQ. Sampling traditional dishes and desserts is also a must.
