Bulgaria, Bansko - restaurant "VerandA"

Every year after the New Year holidays we go to the ski resort of Bansko to meet with my sister's family. While they are skiing, we walk around the restaurants - because in my family there are no skiers. But there are lovers of tasty food. There are a huge number of restaurants in Bansko and for several years I still have not been able to get around them. Of course, we also have unsuccessful visits, but I don’t like to write about it. I love to write about good experiences, about restaurants that are not ashamed to recommend to my guests.

Bansko is located about 160 kilometers from Sofia, a couple of hours by car or three and a half by bus. A tourist train also goes to Bansko, but it takes a very long time and at a special time. This is not always convenient.

This time we visited three restaurants in Bansko and I really liked two of them, but I don’t want to remember about the third one.

The menu is in Russian and the waiters are fluent in Russian, because there are many tourists from the Russian Federation at this resort.

Prices in the menu are in BGN. 1 euro equals 1.95 lev

I'll tell you about the one we liked the most. This is the "VerandA" mehana. This restaurant is located on the main street of Bansko "Pirin", 77. It is easy to walk from the lift or stupidly take a taxi, because every taxi driver knows where the Veranda is. And they have free delivery of eaters to the table. That is, you can call the restaurant on the phone +359 89 853 5222 and they will send a car for you, or even two or three, if you have a big company. True, not back lucky)

We arrived there for dinner, so we almost did not order alcohol, but there was soup and a lot of meat. An order for seven people cost us 150 levs. This is 76.92 euros. I must say that everything was delicious, hospitable, quick, unobtrusive and beautiful. We spent only an hour in this restaurant, but at the same time we didn’t hurry anywhere, everyone ate and chatted at their pleasure.

Pile of soup - in Bulgarian it means chicken soup.

The restaurant is quite large - there is the first level and in all likelihood the second. Behind, there really is a veranda. But it is for smokers - I went there and changed my mind) In all other rooms they do not smoke.

These are homemade noodles with cheese and bacon.

The fireplace is completely real, only with modern refractory glass.

Famous national salad - Shopska salad.

It was during the day, the people had not yet pulled themselves up and I managed to take pictures of the interiors. This is a classic tablecloths for furry.

Also known national and very tasty dish - sac. In this case, we have cold cuts with vegetables. Otherwise, sachi are just vegetable or from one type of meat. The whole point of this thick cast-iron skillet, which is brought to the table on a special stand, terribly hot and staring.

This is also very tasty traditional bread for mehana. Never refuse, if the waiter will offer you a hlyab in the form of a drink. This is called "chesnova drink", that is, with butter and garlic. They are baked on the spot and brought hot.

But I saw such a thing for the first time! This wooden tray-plate is impossible to lift with one hand! And the meat is very tasty.

Here is such an elegant door to the toilet.

And a wash basin. I like to check the toilets in restaurants - this is an important indicator.
