First when you walk in you are welcomed by the sweetest staff and a cozy traditional environment that is both authentic and distinguished in and of itself.
There was a live band playing different songs from around the balkans and they did not disappoint.
Just be aware that most portions here are very large so sharing is the intended way to eat.
We started with a vitamina salad and traditional baked bread and cheese and for the mains we had bbq pork which was buttery and very well prepared , tradional smokey beef that just melts in your mouth and marinated deer which was something i personally found as the best dish of them all.
Desert i didnt have space for but the rest of the family enjoyed the waiters suggestions.
We washed all it down with rakia and we also tried the hot blueberry wine which was very unique.
All in all a 10/10 experience.

A cosy tavern-style restaurant located in the Old Town, serving up traditional Bulgarian dishes. English-speaking waiters offer recommendations, but based on the variety of dishes we tried, am sure almost any dish from the kitchen will be tasty. This meal was more memorable than highly-rated traditional Bulgarian restaurants in Sofia.

Went on a short holiday to Bansko for our one year anniversary and we visited many mehani (pubs)everywhere the food was amazing until we went to this place. We had a warm welcome and the waiter was lovely until we sat down, we were being rushed to order our food and felt that the waiter then became rude. We order four vegetarian dishes to share. My partner has been a chef for 20 years so going out to eat is always a bit difficult but the quality of the food was very poor and very very over priced, four small starter plates and two alcoholic drinks came to 55 leva, we felt in comparison to other places in Bansko that this place is very overrated and very over priced

Prices are extremely high and although you do get tasty food it is nothing special. We paid 55bgn for just a normal lunch without any apetizer or dessert... Also the staff was extremely rude. Not coming back.

Visited this restaurant last year,and January 2020,lovely atmosphere, food was ok. However despite asking for 10 minutes between the starter and main and being rebuked by the waiter/head waiter for asking for this his reply
was "of course there will be a gap between starter and main, this is a restaurant"
Guess what our mains were brought out within a minute of finishing the starter.
We always leave a generous tip, on this occasion they didn't bother bringing any change back which was about 10 Lev. We found the head waiter rude.

We were persauded into this restaurant (it wasn't our initial choice), but we had a good meal. The decor is unbelievable and the quartet were very enthusiastic (but don't offer a tip, they get offended by that!).
However, it was by far the most expensive meal we had in Sofia - when really it wasn't much different from other meals we had ordered.

Very nice place. We went for dinner and the atmosphere is nice, you can listen for live music which is not disturbing, people smiling. The food is very good, the dessert is delicious. The decoration inside is very nice. Thank you

Was all going fine, just after we ordered our drinks our server said said they are doing a deal where we can get our drinks taken off the bill if we gave a 5 star trip advisor review and showed them it later when we wanted the bill. We thought we would wait until after the food came out to write the review, and good thing we did! I ordered the chicken skewer and it came with no flavour and also undercooked so couldn’t eat most of it as a lot of it was pink! My partner was given the wrong meal and when he mentioned that it was the wrong meal, the server just rolled his eyes and took it back to the kitchen. The correct meal came out 15 minutes after I had finished my meal with no explanation of why. When we asked what happened, we were rudely told that it because of new staff. Whole restaurant is a tourist trap if you ask me, and I wouldn’t trust those good reviews!

I recently visited Obetsanova mehana with my coworkers. I was going to be presenting them a new project and I decided that this will be the perfect place to bring a great mood to the atmosphere. My chose was right!! The service was great and everyone of my coworkers was so happy and the food was amazing. I can say that this restaurant is a great place for every occasion and I will definitely be going again.

We went there by chance, at first reluctant because it is really on the main square but it is definitely not a tourist trap. Live traditional music, clean garden, and such a tasty fresh food! Good choice of quality red wines too. It might be a bit mote expensive but it is 100% worth it. Fyi we ordered soft deer meet for two, the recommended salad to share and the yummy yogurt with blueberries. There was also a good selection for vegetarian plates

So far my favourite restaurant in Bansko. The food was excellent and a bit of excitement for the kids with fire on the plates! I’d highly recommend the sharing salads. Also great as we are pescatarians & lots of options. Staff were very attentive (particularly Hristo) and fantastic with the kids letting them feed the fish in the indoor pond! Hope we get to go back before we leave!

I had great time here! Beef is not typical in the bulgarian menus, but they have it and it was prepare perfect. The server asked how cooked I want it. They offered me very good salad instead of a side! I recomment this restaurant with top score and hope to get back soon!

The tavern (mehana) is located in the center of Bansko, near the church. We visited the place for dinner. I had a salad and Bansko's meatball , and my friend had grilled vegetables with chicken meat. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. There was also live music - an orchestra. It can be performed regularly.
If you want to be there for weekend or during the winter season I recommend to make reservation.
