Why students go
A mehana — the Bulgarian equivalent of a Greek taverna: traditional food, grilled meats, local wine and rakia, usually in a rustic setting. This one sits in the green surroundings of Kaylaka Park, so it pairs perfectly with a walk there.
Good to know
- Classic mehana order: a shopska salad to share, grilled meat, and bread — plus rakia if you’re feeling brave.
- Great choice when parents or friends visit and you want somewhere memorable rather than convenient.
