Vegeterain curry at Mr Singh\'s. Cheese allowed is plenty of that at breakfast... but self catering makes it easier. Victoria has superb vegetarian menu. vine leaves with rice and the bob (bean soup) there is great. I regularly go veggie in Bansko, so this one is from experience. Bit does anyone else have any suggestions? Hi Raakhi, Yes you will survive these days in Bansko. Vegeterain curry at Mr Singh\’s.

Almost no main courses are prepared with nuts, but some may be garnished with nuts For example tarrator and some salads. Most deserts have walnuts, and expecially baclava will have a load of them in. The good news is that menus generally list ingredients. Hi Marav,

I've read that walnuts show up often in Bulgarian food. has this been your experience? I'd like to figure out what foods to avoid if they are traditionally prepared with nuts. Thanks!

I tend to scoff this lot at about 11.30 am in the restaurant based at Platoto followed by their hot bean soup with bread. This means that one has to get to the very top of the mountain first thing in the morning to clear the head and ski down piste 10. Warning however......this choice of food does not encourage making friends well in the confined spaces of the gondola if this diet is kept up religously throughout ones stay particularly if it is supplemented by the local rakia fire water. Also beware that biting into these hot beasties tends to make them explode their hot juices in all directions. Avoid the juice going up the nose or in the eyes as this has an immediate sobering effect. as i have experienced. No pain no gain. Enjoy.
