The Bulgarian Table

Freshly baked bread, olives, feta cheese, red wine or light beer, grilled kebapche, garden tomatoes, smoked meats – the Bulgarians have perfected the art of cooking delicious meals. Sitting down at the table means experiencing the richness of Bulgarian’s productive local farming and fertile countryside. Bulgarians like long lasting, social dinners, starting with rakia (local grape brandy) and seasonal salad, chatting with family and friends, discussing politics and everyday life, then, after an hour or two, the main course is served. Of course, every local entrepreneur, involved in tourism business, takes into account foreigner’s eating preferences and doesn’t leave the guests waiting for their dinner so long.
