Chavkova Kashta
Механа Чавкова къща
A main-street tavern favoured by Lonely Planet, where you can eat sizzling sach skillet dishes under centuries-old trees.
Located on the ground floor of the inn of the same name at 112 Main Street, about 200 m from the bus station. The outdoor seating sits in the shade of a tree said to be 500 years old, with views of passers-by on the old street. Lonely Planet lists it as a top pick and recommends the sach skillet, a dish of meat and vegetables served sizzling in a flat clay pot. Other popular orders include mixed grill, grilled vegetables and bean soup. Prices are affordable, and the outdoor tables are the most sought-after in summer.
