Reviews of Bistro Sofia describe a warm, intimate bistro with a true Balkan soul, where traditional Bulgarian dishes are flavorful and portions are generous, and the atmosphere is often described as cozy and welcoming. The staff and the owner are frequently praised for friendliness and attentiveness, the wine list and pastries are highlights, and the experience is regularly considered good value for money, with several diners praising plates, platters, and a tasting option. The meals are described as authentic, comforting, and reminiscent of home cooking, with standout items such as banitza and rakja noted by many. On the flip side, some visits suffer from slow service, especially when busy, with reports of long waits for courses or checks and occasional distractions. A few reviews mention a loud or bustling dining room or a single server who is difficult to communicate with when under pressure, but even these notes acknowledge the quality of the ingredients and the care evident in the food. Overall, Bistro Sofia is seen as a beloved neighborhood spot for exploring Bulgarian flavors, often recommended for groups or special occasions, and many reviews express a desire to return.

Peter was a wonderful host. The Rakja was exceptional & the service was impeccable. Not too many customer & the price range was more than abordable. The banitza are to die for.

Le service est excellent & accueillant. Très heureuse d'avoir mis la main sur un des seuls endroits à MTL (en tk pour le moment) qui offre de la Banitza au menu.

We had a lovely brunch here over the weekend with our family! The owner was very kind & genuine. He clearly enjoyed sharing Bulgarian culture with us, & we very much enjoyed experiencing it! Highly recommend trying the Banitza (phyllo pastry). Most dishes come with fruit & yoghurt as well. Highly recommend!
