For an authentic Bulgarian meal right next to the beach, Morskite Dyavoli is the perfect place for you.
Located right on the Central Beach, the limited number of tables boast stunning views over the sea and the little bay.
We came here twice for lunch as the location is super convenient for a bite after sunbathing on the beach in the morning. But the restaurant is just as good a fit for a sunset dinner.
This place is number one on my list based on its super affordable prices mixed with high quality staple Bulgarian food dishes and the amazing location by the beach.
