Pod Lipite: "restaurant Pod Lipite" Sofia Restaurant Tip by mindcrime

Restaurant Pod Lipite is an amazing traditional restaurant but a bit off the beaten path (you need a taxi, we went there with our local friends by car)

We were excited since the moment we opened the door and got inside this beautiful restaurant. Full of wood, fireplace, lovely atmosphere, great food, live music and friendly service, what else can we ask for?

They have a menu in english but we didnt see any other tourist except ourselfs, the place is very popular though and you better call in advance for reservation.

We started with some salads, cheese and beans, they were all very tasty, and we drunk local raki. Then we tried some mains, cant recall any names but definetely we tried the chicken with mushrooms in red sauce, they were boiled in a small clay pot and it was yummy, we also tried a vegan plate which was something like spinach croquette, we didnt get excited with this but it was nice enough.

From time to time there were local musicians playing traditional music which added some credits to the general atmosphere.

We ended up with a typical dessert, yogurt with honey...

The bill for 4 persons was 80 leva (about 40 euros)
