Plovdiv


Loosely channelling the cheek and chic of 1920s Paris with a modern twist, this classy spot near the Roman Odeon whips up some of Plovdiv's best dishes from a menu that borrows the best of Italian, French and American cuisines. Enjoy the dilemma of choosing from truffled parmesan fries, Pernod king prawns and mustard steak.
