Bulgarian food is truly unique, having been influenced by the country’s vibrant history and civilisations, as well as neighbouring nations like Turkey and Greece. It shares many similarities with other Balkan cuisines but retains a distinct identity of its own. One of the most stand-out elements of Bulgarian cuisine is the tradition of serving almost every meal with a rich, tasty side salad; Shopska Salata is one of the most common. Some of the popular Bulgarian food that you must try on your trip includes: banitza (traditional Bulgarian pastry), lukanka (local salami), shkembe (soup made with tripe and spices) and tarator (a cooling cucumber soup).
