Hotel & Restaurant Sofia

Great experience over new years! Good entertainment, amazing food, and very friendly staff. The rooms are basic but have everything you need, we found them very cozy, and the location is insanely good - we loved discovering the surroundings but the hotel is also in a very nice and quiet corner of the mountains. Will definitely come back :)

The Sofia Restaurant is part of a luxury complex, encompassing a hotel and conference center, making it an ideal destination for large-scale events like team- building retreats and company conferences. My experience focused on the restaurant, which boasts a tri-level layout with ample seating. This multi-tiered setup makes it exceptionally well-suited for accommodating significant crowds, such as wedding receptions or large company gatherings. During my visit, the restaurant was relatively quiet, likely due to the mid-week timing and rainy weather. However, I could easily envision the space filled with energy during peak season. The restaurant also features a generously sized terrace, complete with a grill and rotisserie, capable of handling large quantities of food, perfect for outdoor events. The terrace extends onto a covered bridge, equipped with a waterproof covering, which effectively connects the restaurant to the conference center and hotel. This bridge also offers additional seating. The hotel itself includes a sizable pool and a playground, adding to the complex's appeal. The highlight of my visit was the traditional Romanian cuisine. Our group of seven indulged in a feast, beginning with a selection of three distinct soups: Ciorba de burtă (tripe soup), Ciorba de fasole (bean soup), and Ciorba de perişoare (meatball Soup). For our main courses, we sampled a variety of classic Romanian dishes, including Polenta Bulz (a polenta-based dish with cheese), Sarmale (cabbage rolls) served in a clay pot, Buttered Påstråv (trout), Chicken with cabbage salad, and Pork Ribs served with country-style potatoes. The food was fantastic, offering a genuine taste of Romanian culinary traditions.

Only had dinner here. Took the waiters a while to pick up the order (15 minutes) and then bring the food. By contrast, the menu was surprisingly large and some items seemed quite exotic (like salmon with 2 sauces). Also the food was delicious and the desserts even more so.
