There are restaurants where you go once, snap a couple of photos of your dishes for Instagram, and then forget all about them. Then there are places that simply become part of the neighbourhood. ‘The Two Lions’ is the latter. At 48 Goce Delchev Boulevard, something much simpler and, quite frankly, more valuable has been happening for years – people come, enjoy a good meal, come back again and bring their friends with them. The restaurant has a long history, dating back to 1995, and today offers a cosy atmosphere, a spacious dining room and a summer garden – perfect for family lunches and evenings with friends, as well as for more special occasions. When you fancy a proper meal. One of ‘The Two Lions’’ strengths is its varied menu. Here, there’s no need to spend half an hour explaining to your group whether you’re all in the mood for pizza, barbecue or something ‘just like grandma used to make’. On the menu you’ll find soups, fresh salads, home-cooked dishes, meats, grilled dishes, pasta, risotto, burgers, fish, seafood and desserts.And if you’re the sort of person who likes their lunch break to be worthwhile, ‘The Two Lions’ also offers a lunch menu with a varied selection that changes regularly. That’s precisely the charm of the place – you can pop in for a quick lunch, meet up with friends for dinner or simply order something delicious to take home. Portions made for eating, not just for photos. At ‘The Two Lions’, the idea is that the food should not only be beautifully presented, but also that there should be plenty of it. The menu includes homemade meatballs, a variety of meat dishes, grilled meats, burgers, pasta, pizzas, side dishes and desserts.There’s something for everyone – from those looking for classic Bulgarian cuisine to those who’ve simply popped in for a good pizza or a juicy burger. And when you don’t have time to visit the restaurant, you can also take advantage of the home or office delivery service. You don’t need a special occasion. Perhaps that’s the best thing about ‘The Two Lions’. You don’t need a birthday. You don’t need an anniversary. You don’t need any fancy excuse to sit down at a table with friends and say: ‘Let’s have a proper meal.’ This is a restaurant for those evenings when you simply fancy a good meal. For a family lunch. For a get-together with friends. For colleagues after work. For that moment when you don’t feel like cooking, but you don’t fancy yet another hastily thrown-together sandwich either. And perhaps that’s why ‘The Two Lions’ has continued to hold its place in Sofia for so many years. Because sometimes we’re not looking for the trendy. We’re looking for what tastes good. And when the two come together – all the better.‘The Two Lions’ – a place for good food, pleasant company and that feeling that you’ve ended up exactly where you should be.
