Ate here with a group of 8 people in July. The atmosphere was nice, and the outdoor Seating was very comfortable. This restaurant is off of the main pedestrian area in Pleven, but worth finding it. We had a variety of items, including cabbage and apple salad, mish- mash, etc.
I would return again on my next trip to Pleven.

Poor copy of Happy from the old days, as interior, menu items, but quite far from it taste wise and especially in terms of service. Best asset for locals - right at the pedestrian street where the life in a small bulgarian city is locked!

You have to try the food, specially the mushroom risotto. Nice choice of appetizers and main courses. Great surrounding and lovely place to spend the evening with friends or colleagues. You will find it in the tunnel next to Soho bar, looking like old communist building from outside but nice and cozy from the inside
4. Paraklisa Club Restaurant

This is a restaurant situated in the very centre of the city, next to the theatre, between the old church and the history museum dedicated to the victorious Pleven siege during the Russian-Turkish Liberation war in the end of 18th century. The building is owned by the Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox church and that's why it was named "Paraklisa" (The Chapel). The venue was opened years ago, but it changed tenant/owner and its chef recently therefore we decided to visit it and we have been amazed how good it is! The club-restaurant is medium in size - it has around 80 seats inside and around 30 seats in its summer garden which is not working right now, because of the season. The menu list is not very long, but fortunately offers a great variety of food and tasty dishes that you can't find in other restaurants in Pleven. You could order there also more traditional dishes like steaks, fish, pizza, pasta, risotto, different desserts. I recommend you to try the salad with four types of cheese (Quattro Formaggi), their Caesar salad, their pork loin with Boletus edulis, the chicken fillet with curry and honey... The restaurant offers also a great variety of alcohol (I was impressed by their wine list) and bottled and local draught beer. The staff is kind and working really fast, the prices are average for Pleven (the salads are between 4,00 and 7,00 BGN (2,00-3,50 EUR), the main courses are between 8,00 and 20,00 BGN (4,00-10,00 EUR)), you could pay in cash or by the most commonly used credit/debit cards. There is a parking next to the restaurant (paid during the day, free in the evening), but the good central location of the restaurant allows you to come by feet even if you are sight-seeing in the centre of the city or staying in some of the centrally located hotels. Reservations are accepted.

I visited in night and also in the evening. The sight is good because is in the center of pleven. The food is ok and they have good wines. The staff was friendly but their English is not good enough. The prices are acceptable for the taste and for the quantity of the food

Perfecto is a diamond in the rough. I have stayed at Hotel Perfecto more than once and I have enjoyed their restaurant on numerous occasions. Their food is truly very very good.
There is also a market right under the restaurant open u ntil midnight for weary travellers that might need amenities or a snack for their hotel room.
From omelettes to salads to spaghetti with meat sauce to their selection of calzones there is no doubt this is the best place to eat from Pleven to Svishtov. If you are near, make a point of going by for a meal or for a short stay. It is definitely worth it !!
there is also a cafeteria adjacent, that serves honest to goodness espresso along with a variety of drinks later at night. The wholw complex is new and very well kept! The hotel, the restaurant and the grounds in general are very weil maintained. Only glitch in this otherwise perfect picture is the lack of English, making communication a little hard. Other than that I am definitely going back!!

We took a small group here and we ordered chicken, pizza, and salads. It was all good, no complaints (see photos). The service was prompt. We enjoyed the outdoor Seating area which was very pleasant.
