Hadjidraganov's Cellars
Хаджидрагановите изби
A traditional restaurant styled as an underground wine cellar, featuring stone walls, wooden barrels, and live folk music, perfect for guests wanting to experience Bulgarian food and folklore atmosphere.
Located at 18 Hristo Belchev Street, close to Solunska Street and Vitosha Boulevard. The restaurant features two National Revival-style cellar rooms and an inner garden courtyard, seating about 200 guests. Live folk music is performed every evening from 20:00 to 23:00 except Mondays, and the venue fills up quickly on weekends, so booking in advance is advised. Signatures include the Hayduk platter served on wooden boards, St. George's Day roasted lamb, and Chirpan clay-tile stewed meat. A lunch menu is available on weekdays. The average cost is about 15–20 EUR per person. Some reviews consider it a bit touristy, but the atmosphere is the main draw.
