Plovdiv restaurants & cafes
Plovdiv pairs one of Europe’s oldest old towns with the artsy Kapana district: Bulgarian mehanas, wine bars and cafes. Vetted places in the Old Town and around Kapana.
Plovdiv’s dining centres on the cobbled Old Town, the creative Kapana quarter and the main pedestrian street. Expect Bulgarian classics and Thracian-region wine, plus modern bistros and busy cafe terraces in summer. Prices are gentler than on the Black Sea coast.
Below are our vetted places in Plovdiv - mehana classics, wine and cafes. What to order across Bulgarian cuisine - shopska salad, banitsa, grilled meats, Thracian wine - is in the guide to the cuisine. We verify each venue and note the check date.
This section is being filled in: vetted places with honest descriptions and a check date will appear here soon.
