The Taste of Vitosha – the restaurant at Hotel Saint George
They say that the food here is very good. We prefer to leave that decision to our guests.
One thing is certain, however — good food is always even more enjoyable when shared with good company and when around you there is silence, greenery and fresh mountain air.
The restaurant at Hotel Saint George is located in the nature of Vitosha and is a place both for hotel guests and for anyone looking for a restaurant on Vitosha near Sofia for lunch, dinner or a relaxed coffee after a walk in the mountain.
Good food starts with quality products
Our menu has been created with the idea of offering variety without compromising on quality.
We focus on fresh products, familiar flavours and dishes that are suitable both for a light lunch and for a longer dinner with friends or family.
In the menu, you can find different options — from fresh salads and starters to pasta, burgers, main dishes and desserts.
For us, good cuisine does not need to be unnecessarily complicated. What matters more are quality products, proper preparation and the kind of taste that makes you want to order the same dish again.
Lunch on Vitosha after a walk
The location of the restaurant allows you to easily combine food with time in nature.
Several hiking routes of different duration start from the area of Hotel Saint George — from a short walk to the Simeonovo Lakes to longer routes towards Alekovi Waterfalls, Dragalevtsi Monastery, Bay Krastyo, Vitoshko Lale and Aleko Hut.
This way, a free day can begin with a walk in the forest and continue with lunch in the restaurant, without needing to go back down to the city.
A particularly pleasant option is a short route to Alekovi Waterfalls, after which you can return for a relaxed lunch and rest.
A terrace surrounded by nature
During the warmer months, the terrace is one of the most pleasant places in the restaurant.
Here, you can stay outdoors for lunch, coffee or dinner and enjoy the cooler air of Vitosha.
The terrace is suitable for a family gathering, lunch with friends, a romantic dinner or simply a few peaceful hours away from the noise of the city.
The proximity to Sofia allows you to come for just a few hours, without needing to plan a whole weekend or a long journey.
Pasta, a burger or something different?
Sometimes after a walk in the mountain, your appetite chooses for you.
You may feel like having fresh pasta, a juicy burger or one of the other options from the menu.
And if you have come simply for a relaxed meeting on Vitosha, you can always start with something lighter and leave more time for conversation and rest.
The menu offers different choices, so everyone at the table can find something to their taste.
And, of course, something sweet
A good lunch is hardly complete without dessert.
Among our guests’ favourite options is our cheesecake, prepared according to a special recipe.
It has had its fans for years and is a wonderful ending both to a longer dinner and to an afternoon coffee on the terrace.
And if you prefer something else, you can also choose from the other desserts in the menu.
A restaurant on Vitosha for more than one occasion
You do not need to be a hotel guest to visit the restaurant.
You can come for:
- lunch after a walk in the mountain;
- a family gathering;
- dinner for two;
- a get-together with friends;
- coffee and dessert on the terrace;
- a peaceful day close to Sofia.
It is precisely the combination of cuisine, mountain surroundings and proximity to the city that makes the restaurant suitable for different occasions.
A delicious reason to return to Vitosha
Gastronomic experiences are always a good idea, especially when they can be combined with a walk, nature and pleasant company.
Whether you come after a hike, for a special dinner or simply because you feel like having lunch away from the city noise, the restaurant at Hotel Saint George awaits you among the greenery of Vitosha.
Do we really cook that well?
We will leave that for you to decide.
