Pepelanovskiya konak

Can’t recommend this place enough.
The staff here were incredibly friendly and kind. We had booked ahead and were a bit late, but they stayed open until we arrived.
The food is a huge range of traditional dishes, all freshly prepared in the kitchen. We all loved the dishes we had, and were delighted by the traditional decor throughout the restaurant.
This place is well worth a visit!

One of the most delicious food we ever ate!!! Great service and amazing local dishes. The atmosphere is typical Balkan with beautiful garden. Make sure to try the beans Haydushki style.

We loved Pepelanovskiya, it felt so cozy ambience and also quite Bulgarian Traditional inside plus an outdoor patio in the back with a really chill atmosphere… However, the best part! I would say the food it’s really great! Exploring Bulgaria 8 weeks now We can say here they have 2 of our top favorite salads!! - Ahchiiska Ugodiya - Ахчийска Угодия and the Rhodopian Girl - Бяла родоичанка! Those 2 are delicious!!! And also really kind warm staff everywhere:)

Really loved it… And will comeback

This was by far the best food we’ve had in Bulgaria.

Let the servers suggest traditional Rodopi mountain dishes and enjoy the flavours.
Do not miss the soups!

DELICIOUS 🥂🙌🙏

Delicious food, authentic meals for the region and polite service. I recommend it!

Traditional Bulgarian dishes in traditional Bulgarian atmosphere. The food is more than delicious and the service is great, always with a smile on their face.

Great traditional Bulgarian restaurant in Chepelare near the river.
Three of us had lunch there on Saturday and it was delicious.

Home made garlic bread, yogurt salad with cucumber, and a delicious salad of peppers, aubergine and goats cheese.
The patatnik was the best anywhere.

Lovely strawberry and passion fruit lemonades.

Lovely garden plus 4 cute kittens.
The interior is basically an ethnographic museum.

I recommend.

We had an excellent dinner late on a Saturday afternoon, sat in the shaded courtyard.

The waitress spoke good English and suggested particular vegetarian dishes for me. The grilled vegetables were excellent and the patatnik the best we'd had for a long time.

My husband went the other way and chose the traditionally cured beef and the horse burger.

We drank the excellent house red wine. It was served in a jug but was as good as some of the more expensive bottles we have had.

Thoroughly recommended.

Honestly the best bean Haydushki style I’ve tried. The ambiance and atmosphere are great ❤

Good service and good food. A must go tavern with some also good local music. Its quite cheap as well!

For sure the best place in town and in the region.
Prices are very affordable, I would even say cheap. Huge variety of traditional rodospki dishes, all meat and diary products are local, even most of the vegetables too. You can buy milk, cheese etc.
highly recommended, and the owner is always there

Very tasty food and good service. The waitress was very sweet and helpful. We has salad, fried potatoes and kavarma. Everything was delicious! They had patstnik, klin, kachamak and all traditional Rodopean meals you should try.

Delicious food. Many local dishes, prepared from local quality products. Good and very polite service. The garden was very pleasant and calm place for dinner!

Great food, staff was nice, the atmosphere is in a traditional rhodopes style. I don't recommend you coming if you are vegan.

Great traditional dishes. Vegetarian and meat dishes. Great atmosphere. Very nice owner. Recommend.

Really delicious food and nice staff. Recommend to everyone who wants a nice meal 👌

Nice traditional bulgarian restaurant, good foods and nice service. better to make a reservation before you come.

The best meal we had in Bulgaria. Very pleasant hospitality and a pleasant local atmosphere. The chef speaks English well and can help with the order. Highly recommend :)

We were frustrated from not finding any place to eat properly nearby, after a lot of searches we've found this place.
The food, the service and the atmosphere were incredible.
Tikalnik and patatnik were great, and rest of the food as well.
If you are nearby, you should go visit there for sure!

Great cozy place with an outside garden seating area, very traditional dishes, that are very well prepared. Staff welcomes you with a smile, very polite and ready to help. TASTY! 👌🏼
