Vodenitsata
Механа Воденицата
An old-town tavern and member of the Unique Bansko association, with a menu of more than 50 regional dishes, live folk music and a garden courtyard.
Located beside Vaptsarov Square in the old town (1 Hristo Botev Street), this half-basement hall has traditional décor, and in summer there is a flower-filled courtyard with a grill area. The menu includes more than 50 traditional Bansko dishes, among them kapama, chomlek and the local dry-cured sausage Banski Starets, and a folk music ensemble plays live. Several travel blogs list it as a more refined choice for a date. Lunch costs about 10–15 euros per person, and some reviews mention that certain times accept cash only.
