We randomly found this restaurant when walking in Sozopol - it's at the end of the old town. We hadn't read any reviews, but loved the location so gave it a try, prices were reasonable, looked to be cheaper than the restaurants we'd seen that line the old city wall. Arriving a bit early for lunch, we had the place to ourselves. The food was excellent - I'm vegetarian and just loved the salad with pear, blue cheese and walnut. Also the garlic and dill potatoes, both were just perfect! Hubby enjoyed his mussels in garlic sauce and the spicy potatoes. Lovely service, waitress spoke great English and was very pleasant. Sensational outlook (we sat in the cool downstairs part).

Just arriving in Sozopol for the first time since Covid struck,my first booking for dinner just had to be at my favourite restaurant,Neptune.
It has been my 'go to' for the last fourteen years,and has never once let me down.
The management and staff remain so genuinely nice and friendy,you are made to feel that they have opened the restaurant especially for you..
The food is as memorable as ever,and I started with the garlic and herb breaded cheese with honey,which I hadn't tried before,and was delicious...definitely the same again for me next time I visit,which will be later in the week.
My main consisted of chicken rolls with blue cheese and figs was well worth waiting for, since the world stood still a couple of years ago.The sauteed garlic potatoes were lovely.
My friend had the breaded squid,followed by the pork skewer,with a side of sauteed mushrooms which he acclamined as 'great'.
Price-wise,they have managed to retain a perfectly acceptable level of costings,whilst most other restaurants have hiked up theirs and lowered the standard of their food.....not the best idea to gain re-visits from their guests,and very short-sighted.
The amazing views add to a super ambience,and as usual,we had a delightful evening.
My thanks to all at Neptune for their committment to maintaining the standard of the food,and to their cheery,helpful,personal approach to their diners.
It was wonderful to see you all again after so long.
Miss going there....and miss out!

We first asked if it was ok to pay with card and they declined but offered that we could pay with euro which was great, at least there is an alternative not like in other places. After we started ordering and everything came together which was great because we all ate together and not waited on someone’s dish. I had great mussels and my husband had a grilled small blue fish which was perfect cooked, my son ordered the stuffed squid with sea food which was tasty as well. For a starter we had cheese with honey and herbs. We enjoyed the service and the atmosphere!

I have visited this restaurant couple of times with different friends of mine. Not only do i like what i see and taste every time but all my friends have enjoyed their wide variety of choices when it comes not only to food but wine too. They a great selection of wine and the waitress explained to us how they are only bulgarian and are from all over Bulgaria which is nice to hear since we know we are trying something from the area and not just wine. Great place, always smells of delicious food. Recommend!!!!

I have been going here for a number of years,and it has never failed to provide great food,lovely staff and a super uninterrupted sea view.
I always think that I'll try something different each time I go,but seem to chose the honey chicken with hazelnuts which I clearly love.I went with friends this year,and they tried the chicken in blue cheese sauce,which proved a great success.
Looking forward very much to seeing everyone there again next year.
It has become a firm favourite since the first time I went there over ten years ago.
You have to try it.For sure,you would be back fo more.
Important to book in advance,as with me,it has become a 'go to' restaurant on many other people's choice of places to dine out.

We were seated on the second terrace. A small cute table on which we had such a tasty food. Fresh vegetables on all the salads we tried, the balkan salad was wonderful, fully recommend! For the main, we had a shashlik which was really nicely cooked and the chicken with basil was unfortunately amazing. They have wonderful red wine. We left happy wanting more. Greetings to the lovely young lady who was our waitress for the night with a beautiful smile on her face managed to make our night one to remember!

I have been to Neptune on many occasions over the years,and haven't been anything other than very pleased.
The food is alway so fresh,and the variety of dishes on the menu are more than adequate and tasty.There are some unusual ones too.
The staff are so pleasant,you can't help enjoying yourself here.
I would recommend with pleasure the restaurant for anyone to try.
Look out for it!...it is not the easiest to find,but well worth keeping an eye out for.
The sea view is probably the best in Sozopol,and certainly adds to what I am sure you would find to be an evening very well spent.
Not expensive,quality food and an all-round really nice place to be.A good wine list too.

The thing that stands out besides the wonderful view of the coast is the food there. Just perfection. Great tomatoes and the salads are a must. The sea for is great. The mussels were very tasty and the fish was top notch. The service is friendly, with a smile on the face at all times. We will be recommending this place to all of our friends and we can not wait for our next visit to Sozopol and this great place which needs much more recognition!

We stumbled upon this place by accident during the off season. Although it looked closed from the street, when we ventured down the steps it was actually quite busy. The lady serving us was lovely and helpful in picking out a lovely bottle of wine. The starter of stuffed tomatoes was lovely and fresh. The chips were perfect cut and crispy. The homemade dips were so nice and different. The fish was perfectly cooked and the homemade batter on the chicken and walnuts was gorgeous. However the best part of the meal was the homemade pavlova, it was to die for! We almost ordered a second serving!

We headed to Mehana Neptune for dinner and had a very delicious meal there. We had a whole sea bass and a whole sea bream which were both fresh and tasty - topped off with a great view of the sea. Highly recommend.

3 years ago we found this place in the Lonely Planet guide book called " Best Restaurants in the World". This is my foody son's favorite restaurant in Bulgaria and we have come back 3 years in a row. This year we didn't even vacation in Sozopol, but took a ferry just to come to eat here. The pasta is great, the fish is great, the salads are great. Everything we have had here has been delicious. Do not leave without eating the cake if the day.

We were walking around and happened to find this place, its at the end of the cliffs and has a wonderful view. We were greeted by a lovely waitress who seated us and helped us choose the dishes. The fish was pure perfection, we had some of the best rapana in the whole town there. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Be sure to bring cash.

As great as always...it never changes.
I have lost count just how many times I have visited this restaurant,and it never fails to deliver.Always super-friendly staff,lovely food and a most amazing view.I took my friends there last week,their first night out in Sozopol,and also indeed their first trip to Bulgaria.They really rated it,and hopefully,we will be going again before their one-week trip comes to an end.
Thankfully,I have another ten days to go and for sure will be visiting Neptune a further once or twice before going home.I would go every night to be honest,but I guess that it's only fair to my guests to try different restaurants and places whist they are here.
Congratulations to all at Neptune for making it a memorable place to eat,with such consistency and an overall first class dining experience.

The view of this restaurant is just mindblowing, the atmosphere is cozy and the people are very nice. The food turned out to be homemade, which is amazing. One of the best meals I've got in my life! Definitely the best restaurant for me on our sea side! Thank you so much Neptun! p.s. The prices are low for the quality that you get...also the deserts are a must do.

The place is not closed as announced. May be the announcement date from Covid times. Every time we visit Sozopol we go to our favorite Neptune. The place is more than 40 yrs old, charming and authentic. The stuffed calamari is excellent. We are never tired to revisit. The best!
