Three Sofia street-food stops worth your appetite

There’s always another food trend,

another complicated diet name or another rule about what you should order. But most of us also have the dishes we crave: the burger, the döner, the bowl of pasta that makes a busy day easier. Rather than treating lunch as a moral test, we’d like to make a case for

street food made with care.

Good ingredients, attention to the cooking and a proper regard for flavour are worth seeking out. Here are three Sofia stops that take a quick meal seriously.

Bun Brothers

Bun Brothers makes a burger with character. Carefully selected beef meets a freshly baked bun in a combination you’re likely to remember.

Every ingredient is chosen with care

and prepared with quality in mind. Burgers are cooked to order, so what reaches you is fresh from the kitchen. Drop in and put one to the test.

Dönerstag

Dönerstag takes its cue from Berlin’s contemporary street-food scene, where döner has long been more than something to eat in a hurry. The meat is prepared on site, and each ingredient has a job to do.

The accompaniments take a different route, too.

Roasted vegetables stand in for chips, the pide is fresh and the sauces are homemade. If you’re expecting your usual döner, there’s something new to try here.

Fresh Pasta to Go

Fresh Pasta to Go answers a useful question: how do you get a good bowl of pasta when you don’t have time to sit down in a restaurant? Make it on site, serve it quickly and keep the flavours people came for.

A place with a firm grasp of the Italian favourites.

Carbonara, bolognese, pesto: the familiar choices are here. It suits lunch between meetings, a quick dinner after a long day or a moment when you’d rather keep the decision simple. Street food with a taste worth coming back for. What are you having?
