Found just 200m off Pirin Street this tavern (mehana) welcomes you with an old wooden cart and the donkey Armando in the yard. This used to be the famous Hadzhiruskovi kashti tavern. The cuisine is national Bulgarian with the traditional chomlek, kapama, Banski strets (sausage), rakiena salad (rakia’s salad), stuffed turkey, rabbit the hunter’s way, baklava s lokum (Turkish sweet desert), sheep’s yoghurt, crème Brule, etc. The menu is English, Russian and Greek. You probably won’t miss the place as they hire a whooper, who will try to lure you in several languages.Bohemi comments

THE WORST experience we've ever had in Bansko. What they did was a crime: they gave us a menu and as the salads were more or less the same price, we ordered one Shopska and one Greek salad. When we asked for the cheque, we were astounded to see that while the Shopska was charged correctly at 2.50lv, the Greek was charged at 17lv!!! We said that this must be wrong but they brought us a menu and we were shocked to see that this time the Greek salad was indeed 17lv. What they do is to produce two sets of menues - one in the beginning, one if you contest the price. Such a scam... Never-ever go there, if you do - sit on one menu until you pay.
