Shtastliveca
Щастливеца
The old town flagship of a restaurant brand founded locally in 1997, featuring a terrace overlooking the Monument to the Asen Dynasty and serving modern Bulgarian cuisine made with local ingredients.
Founded in Veliko Tarnovo in 1997, this restaurant is named after the pseudonym of writer Aleko Konstantinov, with an interior replicating the 1930s urban style. The old town branch has about 150 seats, including 60 on the panoramic terrace overlooking the Yantra River and the Monument to the Asen Dynasty. The menu offers large portions and a wide selection, with clearly marked vegetarian options. The restaurant is often full; booking terrace seats in advance on the official website is recommended to avoid long waits during peak hours. Located at 79 Stefan Stambolov Street, within walking distance of the old town core.
