Resturant Lampata — Restaurant in Sofia City

A nice and cozy restaurant. Really great atmosphere although it gets a bit noisy inside when full and the music was a way too high for a restaurant. There are some great meal options although some of them were unavailable when we visited. The portions are not big but enough except you are not wolf hungry. The beer selection is limited to products from only one craft brewery but you can get a lager, a pilsner, etc. I would not recommend the burgers. They were too salty and overcooked, maybe it was just then to have them like this. However, I would recommend the sujuk (sausage) with leek - it was really good and it's served with some fries and pickle. The meal with the pulled pork is also really tasty. There are several lemonade options which were also fine. The personnel was really friendly so the overall experience was positive :) The prices are in the range of 15-20lv. for a meal, the salads 11-15lv. and the beers ~7-8lv. for 500ml.

There are several outside seatings, on a bar, which is nice when the weather is fine.

I would recommend this place as it's not on the main street and therefore you can meet more nice people different from the main type in the more mainstream places, where people go to show off, rather than enjoy the...

The food was good (not excellent but good), the prices were okay (especially for the center of Sofia). I give it 4/5 because of the service - it was slow, and they need urgently 3rd waitress/waiter. Obviously the 2 girls cannot handle all the orders (they were also responsible for all the takeaway orders). Besides, I had to wait for a soft drink for about 10-12 minutes (not a big deal, but for a small/medium size of restaurant it's not okay). I also noticed that one of the waitresses wasn't very polite, and she even told me "goodbye" even before I left my table - that's very disrespectful and most people won't visit again after such a case. I don't say it was personal, but the service could be much better than this. I left a tip because the staff is young and I'm sure that they will improve when they gain more experience in this business.

In general, good restaurant in the center of Sofia with some areas...

Again, very difficult to have a comparison against local eateries given I am a tourist. We chose to eat here because it was clearly packed with locals around lunch time. The same was true when we went for an evening meal as a number of people were turned away from specific tables (they were accommodated elsewhere) when turning up unannounced.

Our waitress was very good, from identifing we were foreign (English) as soon as we spoke and fetching a different menu, and being concerned with our menu choices making sure we knew what we were ordering. Once eating we were left alone. The food was delivered much quicker than anticipated and was very nice.

Atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable. Would...
