FOOD & DRINK

Illustration of the facade of a traditional Bulgarian tavern "Pri Roduzdite" in a snowy mountain village at night. An elderly man in folk costume sits on a bench in front and raises a toast with a glass of rakia. Next to him is a large paner with fresh bread. The building is made of stone and wood, brightly lit from the inside, with numerous wooden signs with Cyrillic inscriptions (Pri Dedo Pene, Pri Baba Chala, Pri Bai Kotse) and a menu with kapama and chomlek. In the background, snow-capped mountain peaks are visible under a starry sky.
