I have been using this restaurant for just over six years and up until our visit this week we were very impressed with the variety on the menu, the ambience, the decor, the service and the quality of food. When I first found this restaurant...I was wandering along Vitosha Boulevard looking for a bookshop which was recommended to me, and I saw an 'A' frame board which said 'Home Made Food'. The entrance six years ago was fairly non descript, however I was enticed by the board, and went into the restaurtant and I was absolutely gobsmacked, this was a beautifully decorated establishment, was shown to a table and given a menu. My waitress asked me what I would like to drink, and ordered a glass of hose red.
The menu was a beautifully bound book with many choices catering for various pockets. I was really pleased with my choice of main course and house wine.
I have to go twice a year to Sofia and travel by car from Bansko therefore don't have more than one glass of wine. On my last three visits 'glasses of wine' are not available, only half and whole bottles are available. As I was driving I didn't want either a half or full bottle of wine.so had to settle for a glass of beer. On this occasion the menu didn't have lamb shank which we have had before, and cooked to perfection, a disappointment. We had the mixed grill that can be shared by two. Some chicken, pork, one sausage, two burgers and cooked vegetables. The chicken and pork were both very gristly, the burgers were good as were the vegetables. I didn't complain as we made up our mind not to come back and find another good establishment elsewhere in Sofia for our next visit. The staff were not up to the usual standard, by asking if everything was alright or did we enjoy our meal. It looks to us that they are having a high turnover of staff as non of the were the same as our previous visits.
For what we had it was overpriced considering the poor quality of meat. I feel because they are on a prime site, they don't have to care. Looks like maximum profits by providing poor food and poor staff.
We will not visit this establishment again, it has gone down hill.More
