A classic place for Apres Ski with Great Food, Great Beer and a friendly welcome from former olympic Skier Cristo Angelov. For those that love the slopes you can even have a lesson from the great man himself.

Just got back from the restaurant,
It was excellent! We are staying at a hotel with half board service but got really sick of the food there as they are very limited with vegetarian options. Matsurev Han had many veggie options and they were all superb, fairly priced and with super friendly service. The dishes we ordered range from stewed beets, bean soup, garlic pita, grilled veg, stewed chickpeas, bansko potatoes cooked with garlic and fennel and mixed stir fry thing that had feta cheese in it? We also had pumpkin purée with walnuts and cream for dessert! Best ever veggie meal, I highly recommend!

A very lively and friendly place. Good place to meet up with friends after skiing - used a lot by 'Borosport' groups/instructors which adds to the atmosphere.
The food is OK but if it is a quite, cosy atmosphere that you are looking for then maybe this is not the place
6. Bobby's Bar
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 902 reviews
Managed by husband and wife team, Bobby and Kas, Bobby’s Bar is a family run restaurant, 100metres across from the gondola on the right-hand side. If you are coming from the Rila end of the resort, walk down towards the gondola and you will find us half way down on the left hand-side. Built in traditional alpine style, with a large open fire and a outside Terrace area for the summer (and off the road for children) there is no better place to spend an evening after coming off the snowy slopes. Featuring Sky sports, children’s activities, lots of party games and plenty of free drinks, you can be sure that Bobby’s Bar will become your home from home. There's nothing like the mountain air to get your appetite going and here at Bobby's Bar we cater for all tastes. Our brand new gourmet menu with local favourites and some specialties from the Black Sea coast, is suitable for large groups, parties, families and individuals, although after arriving at Bobby’s Bar, you will never be on your own again; Kas will introduce you to others and you will end up not just with ski buddies but lifelong friends.

Visited Bobby's Bar three times during our week skiing. Tried the sharing Fajitas, an everything-on pizza, and the hake and chips. All good quality, tasty, and plenty of it. The dark beer was good, great toffee-vodka shots appeared a few times, and the atmosphere was lively and entertaining. Three great nights

Came here last Thursday for a light breakfast and a change from the hotel breakfast. We ordered an espresso, a mocha and 2 croissants with jam and butter.
Unfortunately, the coffee machine was broken and the coffees never materialised. The lovely girl serving us was super apologetic, as I work in the catering industry, I can absolutely sympathise with the issue, there is nothing you can do when machinery fails at the wrong time.
Now on to the croissants! Delicious! They are served with jam and butter on a wooden slate and also comes with a glass of very tasty, freshly squeezed orange juice which was a nice surprise. It's all really well presented!!
At the end, she offered to knock a bit off the price as she wanted to make up for the missing coffees. She really needn't have as we were more than happy with what she was able to serve us!
9. Target Bar & Restaurant

Owned and managed by Todor, Target is the perfect get-away from Borovets! Located just 5 minutes down the road, we pride ourselves on great food with great prices! Our large covered outside caters for all those smokers among you and our 2 floors of tables inside makes sure groups, families and younger guests are well looked after! Come and visit us - we're sure you won't be disappointed!

Modern design and friendly personnel. The chicken soup was great the ribs and the pork medallions wasn't tasteful.

Stop in here for some drinks. It was pretty busy so it had a good atmosphere. The service was pretty quick and they had some live music that was enjoyable.
