Raketa Rakia Bar

“This place was so good! The staff were super friendly and great fun. The food selection was absolutely out of this world, very authentic Bulgarian. I’d highly recommend this place if you’re in the area!”

“This is the place! The vibes, atmosphere, design, food, and service were 10/10. Lovely outdoor seating on the terrace located right across the street from a park. Ask your waiter what to order, they will take it from there. And DON’T SKIP DESSERT! Highly recommend this place if you’re in Sofia.”

“Great experience overall with exceptional food and service. The beefsteak was absolutely phenomenal and definitely the highlight of the meal. The chicken in rice paper could have benefited from a bit more seasoning, though that may come down to personal preference. Overall, a highly enjoyable dining experience and definitely recommended.”

“I am a repeat customer here and with the assurance of the helpful and polite staff we have hosted many formal and informal dinners and events here. The communist style of the interior is exotic and nostalgic at the same time, bringing a slice of satire to the mix. The food is exceptionally great and they have a great variety of drinks. I honestly have never seen this place not crowded for dinner. I believe reservations are a must, preferably a day or two in advance. The venue is split for smokers and non-smokers, so make sure you consult with your group first. Don't come here with a car for two reasons - this is the city center, the streets are narrow and parking is really hard, and you must not miss out on some classic rakia and salad. I would also recommend the pleskavica Raketa, hands down my favorite dish here.”
