EATS: Bansko's Mexana ("Bunnies !")


It had dawned upon me that this whole time we had a trip to Bulgaria that we only stayed in one location, the town of Central Bansko. One night, we went out and went out of Central Bansko, towards its equivalent of Stockholm's Gamla Stan, the old town


After some ten minutes of walking, we have arrived. We were immediately greeted by a man with a crazy looking outfit, overseeing rabbits above a sign infront of the restaurant. This man was very friendly, he even let my sister and our friend, Talia to take the rabbits inside the restaurant... thus the affectionate term for this restaurant has been born: "Bunnies".

The adults had a long and uneventful discussion about which kind of wine to drink before we ordered appetizers.

Tonight's appetizer: salad with onion, tomatoes, coleslaw, cucumbers and goat's cheese. I liked this dish because of the different tastes you get when you mix and match the different elements of the dish, and that cucumbers are my favorite. 


Onto some mains! The first one was some veal shanks with roasted potatoes. The veal was tender and satisfying, but was much more impressive when combined with the potatoes. Sadly, no photo.

We also had chicken, bacon and beef with vegetables, actually cooked in a ceramic pot! The bacon was very, very delicious (I actually finished them all). The chicken was also a highlight of this dish.


Finally, dessert. Something I see a lot in menus of restaurants here in Bulgaria is the yogurt, so I decided to try some frozen yogurt with strawberry jam. Prior to this, I have been a fan of yogurt, and this just raised my obsession even more. The jam was on the top of the yogurt, so a good mix was done before I took my first bite. It was heaven! Simply delicious.

(It was served in a clay pot!)
