StandArt Restaurant — Restaurant in Sofia City

My recent dining experience at this charming restaurant was nothing short of amazing. The star of the show was undoubtedly the meatballs. Served with baked to perfection potato, they were a symphony of flavors and textures. Each bite was rich, savory and tender. The sauce was fenomenal. Pairing it with a fresh tomato and eggplant salad was the right choice.

But the culinary excellence was only part of the equation. What truly sets this restaurant apart is its enchanting village-like garden. It's a hidden gem that transports you to a different world. The lush greenery, quaint pathways, and cozy nooks create an ambiance that's both romantic and welcoming. Dining here felt like a retreat to a picturesque countryside village, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The service was great and the bathrooms were clean. All in all, if you're a meatball enthusiast, the dish here is a must-try, and the enchanting garden setting will make your visit even more magical. My only recommendation for the kitchen would be to salt and wash the...

A really cute restaurant, the service was a bit slow but the food was really delicious. You can feel that the chef was making each dish with love and attention to detail. The presentation of each dish was authentic.

And the potatoes that came with most dishes were really crispy and perfectly seasoned. The burrito had a healthy amount of guacamole which I loved. The veal dish with potatoes on top was warm and delicious. Maybe the only complaint regarding the food was the quantity of meatball as we had only 3 meatballs served so the ratio of meatball and potatoes was off was more so potatoes with a side of meatballs. And the vanilla tea just tasted like water and they didn’t offer honey with it. Would really love for them to serve soups in future but that’s just recommendation.

They also don’t have a menu in English. It is a bit pricier but the...

Cool bar on the outskirts of the Sofia city center. They serve green beer, but the staff did not speak English so I have no idea why it is green. It tasted like a pale ale and was very drinkable.

Menus are only in Bulgarian, so I have to say that either a translated menu or English-speaking staff would help in overcoming the language barrier. Also, you cannot pay by card here, so be sure to bring cash!

That being said, I probably had the best grilled duck of my life here. Duck can quickly get chewy, but this had a crispy skin and tender insides, and was accompanied by a nice sauce and puree. Lovely stuff. I thought this was mostly a pub with some cheap bites, but the food here is actually excellent. The atmosphere is also nice, it has a small garden with lights and nicely spaced seating. Perfect for a night out with a...
