🍷 The Cellar Atmosphere

The name means The Cellars of Hadjidragan — the ancient owner. Step inside and you find yourself surrounded by stone walls, barrels next to the walls, wood carvings, old costumes, and wooden wheels. The halls have comfortable bedsteads covered with Kotlen rugs and cushions made from costume aprons. On warm days the summer garden opens in the inner courtyard. It's one of the most atmospheric dining spaces in Sofia — the kind of place that takes most first-time visitors completely by surprise.

🎵 Live Folk Music — Wednesday to Sunday

Live folk music plays every day from Wednesday to Sunday, 20:00 to 23:00. Traditional instruments, background volume that fits conversation and enhances the cellar atmosphere. If you want a music evening, any night from Wednesday to Sunday works. Book in advance — the restaurant fills up on music evenings, especially weekends.

📍 Location — One Minute from Vitosha Blvd

18 Hristo Belchev Street, next to the intersection with Solunska Street, in the immediate vicinity of Vitosha Boulevard. One of the most convenient locations for an authentic Bulgarian dinner in the center of Sofia — easy to find, easy to reach on foot from most central hotels. On warm days, ask for a table in the summer garden when you book.
