33 Gastronauts

I recently visited a charming restaurant in the heart of Sofia, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, however, there was not something that stood out and left me craving more. Moreover, I did find the prices a bit on the higher side, especially given the menu. Still, the portion sizes of the dishes made it somewhat justified. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch. The staff were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect throughout the meal. Their professionalism really enhanced the overall experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a meal. Whether you’re dining with friends or having a romantic evening, the setting makes it feel special. But the real star of the show was the dessert. I had the cottage cheesecake, and honestly, it was the best I’ve ever had. The texture was flawless, rich yet light, and the flavor was perfectly balanced. It was clear that a lot of care and expertise went into making it. I’d return just for that cheesecake alone! In summary, a great spot for a special night out, though expect to pay a little extra for the experience. Highly recommended a dinner there, especially if you are a foreigner!

Tasty food and great service. I loved their kadayif for starters. The staff were amazing and very polite. The atmosphere is cozy and pretty. The only thing is that the access for inside is by stairs, so accessibility free is only the outside more suitable for summer visits. Overall, it is a lovely place.

Nice and cosy place. Very friendly service and good food, choices could be more variant. All in all a place to eat! 👍

Nice restaurant in one of the best neighbourhoods in Sofia - Oborishte! The atmosphere was cozy and the service was on point. The food was delicious and I particularly enjoyed the dessert which was fried bananas with some caramel sauce. Overall I had a good time and a nice experience.

33 Gastronauts was our very first meal in Bulgaria - and it did not disappoint. The food was fantastic and we loved the setting and atmosphere. A charming restaurant tucked away off the street and down a few stairs. The green salad was absolutely delicious with the freshest of ingredients. The grilled salmon dish and turkey meatballs in a spicy sauce were both superb. We were so happy that we are going back again tonight! A wonderful start to our Bulgarian cuisine tour.

I've been to this restaurant based on a colleague's recommendation. Out of the 10 things they have on the menu, only 2 or 3 were available. Same for beer, only 2 available out of a huge list. Like literally two bottles. Starters were ok and tasted I'd say decent, nothing extraordinary, I ate way better in other places in Sofia. The ribs were one of the worst I've tasted in my entire life, and I eat ribs everywhere I can. Meat was dry, you could barely pull it from the bone. I would definitely not recommend this to anyone, expensive, and for nothing. Maybe it was once great, but not it's a shadow of that past only. The only reason I'm rating the service and atmosphere to a 3 is all the laughs we had every time we were ordering something and the waiter had to tell us they don't have it. Also it was cold inside, we had to wait ALOT for the food, and while I was there I only saw one person from staff, I guess the guy was a jack of all trades. Terrible experience.

Small insude so it easily gets noisy. Outside is okay. The food is good but the prices are excessive. I lowered my evaluation of the service as I noted them to insist on a tip.

I was seared on the street in front. Small table, narrow distance between tables. Food is OK. Nothing special, a bit extravagant combinations, but not bed. Service and food quality can be a bit better. More expensive than average.
