Dining out in Bulgaria is a social event where food , wine, service and environment are integral parts of the culture. Bulgaria is a seasonal country and weather ranges from snowy winters to hot summers.This variation in climate influences Bulgarian food, hence the menu offers dishes from summer salads to hearty winter fare. Bulgarian cuisine is famous for its grilled meats and rich salads required at every meal.
The restaurant reflects a typical Bulgarian theme and layout where a cosy wooden bar on the mezzanine floor , stocks a variety of beverage- it is a great place to meet up with friends for drinks. The dining area in lower level is a great setting for a truly romantic dinner with the area being separated into cosy nooks,with plenty of authentic Bulgarian knick-knacks, quaint wooden windows accented with lace curtains and fireplaces.Making your way to the upper floor leads you to the function room . The Bulgarian theme is maintained by way of a countryside mural that stretches along the length of the room. This room also has a bar area and can be booked for private functions.

Here’s the 2nd food review invites sponsored by Round U Sdn Bhd - Vintage Bulgaria.
This is my 2nd visit here :D Was so excited when get to know that the next food review is here. My first visit was last year end, was falling love with its Spaghetti Bolognese at that time. Eventhough here's mainly Bulgarian food but not Italianese. Spaghetti Bolognese seems to be a very simple dish but surprisingly the chef was actually turned out the spaghetti into a very different way and indeed very delicious.
Good things do happens when you think about it. Keep it up!
This time, I am invited to review a Bulgarian restaurant located in Tanjung Bungah, Penang. The name of the restaurant is Vintage Bulgaria. It is run by a Bulgarian lady who is married to a Penangnite.
If you are hungry for the real deal authentic Bulgarian fare, then head out to Vintage Bulgaria. This family orientated restaurant and bar is owned and run by a Bulgarian family who love Penang so much decided to stay on the island and lucky for us gave us Penangites, offers a taste of Bulgaria, right here on beautiful Penang island and saved us the plane fare to Bulgaria
At Vintage Bulgaria, you can expect great food and a feel of Bulgarian hospitality and culture, from the castle decor of the restaurant basement, Bulgarian village wall mural painting at the private function area, signages in Bulgarian alphabets and the owner/hostess's greeting in the native Bulgarian tongue. Every time I stepped in, I feel at home in Bulgaria ( I swear)
