Typical Bulgarian Dishes

Here are a few other iconic dishes you need to try:

Mekitsa is essentially a Bulgarian funnel cake, and a common breakfast choice! They’re usually fried right in front of you and so absurdly delicious.

Banitsa is a savory breakfast option, made with phyllo dough rolled up around toppings, often cheese and/or potatoes. They’re a good option if you want something more filling than a pastry, but don’t have time for a sit-down breakfast.

Lyutenitzais a dip made of tomatoes, peppers, and garlic. It’s typically slow-cooked and jarred every summer, and every Bulgarian family has their own recipe! It’s delicious as an appetizer typically served on bread.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Emma | Where's Emma Now

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater! I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where! I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too! If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you! My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny. I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams! ✨Currently on maternity leave, so I'm not offering custom services at this time. If you're interested in working with me when I'm back, email me at admin@wheresemmanow.com to join my email list! ✨
