THE best cheesecake in Bansko @ Chepishev

Chepishev has been my most raved about Bansko restaurant find for some time. Chepishev is located just 100m from the gondola lift across the footbridge over the river.

The bright Chepishev sign makes it easy to spot.

Relief, it's a one pager menu. Imaginative and different

This review is all about seeing the food we eat here. But I should say this is a delightful dining room.

A balance between contemporary and comforting. A roaring log fire keeps it warm and inviting and a “smart casual” type of vibe. Plenty of Bulgarians were dining there when we went. This is often a good sign.

A nice one page menu. Bravo Chepishev! Vegetarians and meat lovers are going to be happy choosing here.

Quinola salad

 

The hot caesar salad was heroically good. The crisp lettuce contrasting with the melted parmesan.

Crispy bacon completes this old favourite reworked.

A nice little curry starter too and we were all diving in.

More fresh salad.

Keeping it healthy for a while longer…

Main courses

T bone steak cooked to perfection. Rare and properly rare. International cooking skills and standards.

Succulent and tender steak. We shared this one.

and some simple pesto pasta. Pasta cooked al dente and feeling satiated.

A fine evening almost over.

Cheesecake revelation

It would be a cliche´ to say that the best was left until the last.

But, quite frankly, this cheesecake is very bit as yummy as it looks.

Cheesecake; homemade at Chepishev style

In Bulgaria the jarred berries are a complete joy. Intense and natural flavours this was home made all the way.

 

Conclusion

Why make up negatives, when there were none? Perhaps the pasta pesto dish was not the most inspired version I have tasted — but it was still good.

Value for money, friendly service, good wines complete the picture.  A place to try for all occasions. Your comments are welcome below.
