“It’s not the size of the table that matters, it’s the heart”

An old Bulgarian proverb

A distinctive feature of the Bulgarians is the traditional hospitality, which makes every foreigner who came to Bulgaria talk about our hospitality and wants to return to our country.
We, at Vodenitsata, have committed ourselves to show Bulgarian hospitality in its purest form. Whether you are a local or a foreigner, you came here alone or with company, in our restaurant we will make you feel at home. We will welcome you with traditional appetizers and a smile, we will treat you as a dear guest, we will entertain you, cheer you up with music, dances and customs and we will send you with honors, leaving our door always open for you.
