Breakfast and Brunch

Some of my favourite places in Sofia for breakfast and brunch
Rainbow factory is tucked away on a small side street and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Alongside some of the best coffee in Sofia, you can enjoy traditional Bulgarian breakfast such as "Banica" (Filo pastry with Feta Cheese) or "Mekici" (Fried dough) served with Jam and Feta Cheese.
