As in all resort towns of the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, the leading trend in public catering is national cuisine. The basis of Bulgarian national cuisine consists of dishes from vegetables, meat and fish cooked on open fire. There are excellent quality dairy products, yogurts, cheeses.
Hot and cold soups are very popular in Bulgaria. For example, tarator (consisting of cucumbers, garlic, dill, walnuts and sour milk) perfectly quenches thirst even on the hottest day.
We recommend trying moussaka (a dish made of potatoes, minced meat, and sauce), “drob po selski” (lamb liver with rice, onions, and oil), kavarma (chopped meat with tomatoes), and katino meze (a hot appetizer with diced pork, onions, mushrooms, and spices).
Due to its historical background, Bulgarian culture has absorbed both Greek and Turkish influences, which are also reflected in its cuisine. In Sunny Beach, you can taste not only traditional Bulgarian dishes but also European, Oriental, Japanese, Indian, and Italian specialties.
Seasoned travelers say that in Sunny Beach you should definitely treat yourself to ice cream and signature pastries, halva, and pumpkin baked with nuts and honey.
