Best of Bulgarian Food – A Taste of Bulgaria Guide
I’ve written a lot about places to visit in Bulgaria, but so far, I haven’t addressed one of my favorite topics: food. Bulgarian food is a mix of Greek, Turkish, and Serbian influences, and it varies slightly in different regions.
Bulgarian Breakfast
People in Bulgaria love pastry and fried dough in the mornings. One of the most popular Bulgarian pastries is the banitsa. Traditional banitsa is a round pie, filled with a mix of cheese, yogurt, and eggs. It’s perfect for a delicious savory breakfast and a glass of ayran complements it very well.
Mekitsa is another popular choice for breakfast in Bulgaria. They are deep-fried simple donuts and you can combine them with anything you want, either sweet or savory. The best way to savor a mekitsa is to slice it open and fill it like a taco with your favorite topping(s).
