| - This is close to a four star restaurant but I'll stay with three until I get to go back and try more, especially the chicken livers.
I stopped here for a combined lunch/dinner. With the help of my server, Anelia, I ordered a sensible amount of food--more than normal for lunch but large enough to be dinner too and not be hungry at 7 PM.
I ordered and iced tea and I was brought some house made bread. I ordered the Bulgarian feta with lukanka, egg, and tomatoes in a super hot small black pot. This was my appetizer and it was a great starter. The melted feta was really good and the lukanka--Bulgarian style salami--was quite good. The hot tomatoes mixed in also added to the good flavor.
I had a harder time language-wise while trying to pick the main course. Anelia suggested the special of the day, which sounded to me like some kind of meat that was going to be stuffed in paper. Sounded good so why not? It turned out that it was stuffed peppers, you know, stuffed papers. They have an appetizer that's red peppers stuffed with feta, but this is only done as a special.
When I was a youngster, I didn't think of my mother's stuffed peppers as food but rather as punishment. These were a bit different but somewhat the same. The peppers were red peppers. They were stuffed with a ground beef and rice combination but instead of a tomato sauce topping, they were topped with a sour cream sauce. The filling need salt. It really was bland.
For dessert, I had what they call French cake. Anelia had a difficult time describing it to me but it's layers of cream cheese, very thin pastry, and raspberry sauce. It was a very refreshing dessert for our summer heat!
I really need to come back here and try more. I'm sure I've only scratched the surface.
For those wondering where this place is, it's in the same plaza and only steps away from the Black Bear Diner on Trop.
