What makes Hadjidraganovite Izbi different from other Bulgarian restaurants?
The setting is genuinely unique — a restored old cellar with stone walls, barrels, wood carvings and Kotlen rugs. It's one of the most atmospheric dining spaces in Sofia. The food is traditional Bulgarian, portions are generous, and the staff are experienced with international guests.
When is there live music?
Every day from Wednesday to Sunday, 20:00 to 23:00. Traditional folk instruments, volume that works well with conversation. Book in advance for music evenings — the restaurant fills up, especially on weekends.
The menu is very large — what should I order?
Ask the staff — they're used to guiding first-time visitors. Reliable starting points: Shopska salad, porcini soup, parlenka bread, and one meat main per person. Share starters and don't over-order — portions are large.
Is there outdoor seating?
Yes — on warm days the summer garden in the inner courtyard is available. Mention it when you book through SoFun and we'll request a garden table for you.
Is it good for groups?
Yes — multiple halls across the cellar complex can accommodate large groups comfortably. Book through SoFun and mention your group size so we can request the right space.
Can I book without a SoFun Card?
Yes — SoFun handles reservations for everyone. The card just adds the 5% discount on your bill.
How is booking through SoFun different from calling directly?
SoFun handles the coordination, confirms your table, and passes on specific requests — garden table, music evening, group size. If anything changes you message us on WhatsApp and we sort it.
