Veliko Tarnavo, Bulgaria

Can't recall any specific names. Ate once at a restaurant that overlooked the gorge - so so food but the view was good. Obviously you don't need to do this if you have a room in a hotel overlooking the gorge. There was one place in the center along the toursity path where the local artisans shops were that served decent pizzas and desserts. Unfortunately, don't recall the name. Just like most tourist destinations, there are plenty of places so you won't go hungry. Suggest you get a LP guidebook.

We stayed there last month. Our hotel the Gurko had a great restaurant. We also ate at the Shtastlivetsa on the main street, had a great lunch there - sizzling platter of meat and vegetables. It is recommended in Lonely Planet.
