General info about Sofia restaurants
If you plan to have fun at the city center you will find that on a small area there are very good restaurants which are different in style, cuisine and mood.
It is always good idea to have cash, especially if you want to tip the waiters. If you pay by credit card you can’t write on the check the amount of the tip. I’ve never seen splitting the bill by more than one credit card, but you can ask and they can do it manually (when I was in USA, I saw this is a normal procedure to split the bill on 4 credit cards for example).
The usual tip is around 15-20% from the bill and is paid cash. For example if the bill is 50 leva (BGN) you give the waiter 1 bill of 50 leva and 1 bill of 20 leva and say to the waiter “Sixty”. This means that you round the bill to 60 and the tip is 10 leva, the waiter will give you the change 10 leva.
In Bulgaria we have drinks and meals in the following order beverages, liquors, salads, entries, main dishes, desert, coffee and can finish again with liquors :).
