Niko'las 0/360

The restaurant offers a refined yet welcoming atmosphere that creates a genuine sense of comfort. The food was exceptional - from the seemingly simple salad to the exquisite dessert. Each main course was expertly seasoned, carefully prepared, and beautifully presented, demonstrating great attention to detail. It is undoubtedly one of the few places in Sofia, within this price range, that truly merits a visit.

Loved every minute of my time here. The tasting menu is creative as well as traditional, a nice blend of Bulgarian flavours with a modern twist. The wine pairing of exclusively Bulgarian wines was carefully selected by the team. My waitress Daniela was very attentive, professional and very friendly and even Nikolas came by to say hi. The team treats their guests as if they are family. Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of enjoying a 6-course meal at this restaurant, and it was truly impressive. The fish and beef dishes were exceptionally flavorful, cooked to perfection. The highlight for me was the Bulgarian 2.0 dessert—its presentation was stunning, and the taste was just right. The delicate balance of the cool yogurt purple cover with the creamy mousse created a perfect harmony, without being overly sweet. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted, and the experience was delightful from start to finish. I will definitely be returning!

ATTENTION TOURISTS: BE CAREFUL We sent an email on June 10th trying to book a table, but we didn't get any answer. On June 12th we sent a DM on Instagram but we just got an automatic reply. Since we were travelling from a different country we decided to go to the restaurant on our first day in Sofia to finally book a table for June 17th, for dinner. We were 2 people celebrating our birthdays. We absolutely regret the decision of booking our table here instead of other Sofia restaurants that we had considered. Apart from what I'll explain below, the service in general was quite poor. Definitely our worst service experience from all the restaurants we've visited in Bulgaria in 7 days. We sat at the terrace and we decided to have the 6-course menu (it includes 2 starters, 1 main course, 2 desserts and 1 cheese board at the end) + the wine pairing. If you're used to Mediterranean standards, you will for sure think that this menu is overpriced (about 70€/person, with elaborations that were not aligned with the price at all). But on top of it, the wine pairing is about 20€/person, for 4 glasses of wine. The pairing didn't make any sense (for example, red wine to be paired with shrimps or with sea bass). The order was: rosé wine, red wine, another red wine and Mavrud red wine. The 2 desserts are frozen and they brought the second one when we hadn't finished the first one. We were not very happy with the experience overall, but everything what happened around the bill was definitely the last straw. At 10:45 pm (not being the last table, since next to us there was a table with 4 people still eating) the waitress said that she would bring the bill. The brunette waitress with glasses brought us the bill (a total of 408 BGN). After we paid with card, she left the credit card ticket and took the bill. That felt weird since we always like to double check the bill just in case, and it felt like the total amount was higher than what we were expecting after seeing the prices in the menu. So I asked them to bring the bill again, and it took them some minutes to do so (it looked like they were chattering in a strange way). When the other waitress brought the bill, she said that the actual price was 371 BGN, and when I asked about the (approximately) 40 BGN difference, she got nervous and said "maybe my colleague made a mistake". She asked if it was okay to give us the difference in cash despite having paid with card, and we said that it was fine. They brought us the 40 BGN to our table. And again, I had to ask them to bring me the bill (again, they had taken it away). While we understand that making mistakes is human and it could happen to anyone, the way they managed the whole situation made everything even worse. The brunette waitress with glasses, who supposedly "made the mistake" never came to our table to apologize or give us an explanation. Her colleague was really nervous when trying to deal with us after what happened, and when we asked for an explanation all she said was "maybe my colleague made a mistake" all over again. When we were leaving, after this whole bitter experience, the brunette waitress with glasses came to us and apologized. She offered us a bottle of wine to compensate us, but we didn't accept it and just left. The overall experience before paying the bill deserved 3/5 stars, but after what happened it just deserves 0 stars. Such a shame for a restaurant that looks quite good. PS: after translating the bill, it looks like she manually entered 37 BGN as tips (which would be around 10% of the total), without even asking or letting us know. PS2: just to mention 2 good things - the violette dessert was really good. And they gave us some sweet red wine at the end of the menu as a compliment.

We had the wine tasting meal which was an excellent choice. We ate in the terrace in the back. Which was nice but since they smoke both inside and outside in Bulgaria you have to be prepared for that. Our service was excellent. It's not cheap so we were quite frankly surpised to be given rather cheap paper napkins to use throughout the meal. Inside they had cloth napkins. I know it seems a bit snobbish to mention this but remember this is an expensive place. Our waitress was great.

We celebrated our 10th anniversary at Niko'las 0/360, and it was an unforgettable experience! Every single dish we tried was delicious, showcasing incredible flavors and creativity, but the cod was truly spectacular—an absolute must-try. The non-alcoholic cocktails were a perfect choice to pair with the dishes, enhancing the dining experience without overshadowing the food. The restaurant beautifully combines traditional Bulgarian cuisine with Asian-inspired touches, creating a unique and exciting fusion of flavors. The result is a menu perfect for anyone seeking an elevated culinary experience. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel welcomed and ensuring everything was perfect throughout the evening. The warm and intimate ambiance added to the charm, making it the ideal spot for a special occasion. Highly recommend this gem in Bulgaria for anyone looking for exceptional food, thoughtful service, and an unforgettable dining experience!
