We prepared such a guide more than five years ago, but some of the venues are no longer relevant. That’s why we set off on a new quest, exploring quite a few places to highlight a selection that our team now recommends.
Because Plovdiv is not only about the central city area—sometimes it’s worth stepping away from Kapana and embarking on a culinary journey through the neighborhoods, where hidden gems can often be found.
Here’s what we tried this August and where we suggest you go next time you’re around Smirnenski, or simply in the mood to experiment with something new but well-tested!
Trattoria Internazionale
They’ve been open for less than two years, yet they already boast countless positive reviews and happy customers. We told you in detail about them in our walk through the world’s flavors under the hills, but let us remind you again: Trattoria Internazionale is a must-stop for all lovers of Mediterranean cuisine. Italy and Greece meet here in a delicious and unforgettable way.
Beyond the southern recipes, don’t miss the beloved classics like their legendary tender pork ribs and the fresh salads—perfect for those moments when you’re craving something light and quick.
To step inside Trattoria Internazionale means to immerse yourself in the magic of flavors. The excellent cuisine, combined with impeccable service and a unique atmosphere, turns every visit into an experience that stays in your heart.

Restaurant Montic
We also discovered a spot that quickly became a favorite for families with children, thanks to its cozy and spacious play area. From the very first step in restaurant Montik, you’re immersed in calmness and the warmth of home—like sitting down at a friend’s table.
The menu is rich and carefully presented, with every dish freshly prepared on site. Their homemade fries are especially memorable—the taste of childhood we’re always happy to return to. Combined with the friendly staff and a clean, pleasant atmosphere, Montik is one of those restaurants you know you’ll want to visit again.

Restaurant Musoni
Seafood and seaside vibes in the heart of the city—that’s the best way to sum up our visits to Musoni, where we love to enjoy all kinds of fish specialties and, with eyes closed, imagine ourselves by the shore of a favorite place. Of course, meat dishes are also on offer, with one of the undeniable stars being the New York Angus Nebraska steak with truffle purée. Live piano performances are frequent, creating a magical atmosphere, especially on those evenings when you want to indulge and treat all your senses.
