Dark Sister by Made in Home

Stepping into Dark Sister by Made in Home in the heart of Sofia’s center feels a little like entering a cherished, slightly eclectic hideaway. Nestled on the quiet stretch of ul. "Angel Kanchev," this restaurant offers a thoughtful retreat from the bustle of the city. The pace here slows just enough for you to settle in, soaking up a warm, inviting atmosphere that hums with subtle energy—an easy blend of comfortable intimacy and understated charm.

The interior, noted for its unique touches and quietly confident style, wraps around you in a way that makes the room feel both personal and welcoming. It’s a place where conversations flow effortlessly, where the friendly staff's attentive presence adds to a sense of being genuinely looked after, rather than simply served. Languages softly bridge distant places, hinting at the global travelers and locals who gather here.

The culinary experience is woven into this ambience, offering an adventurous yet approachable exploration of flavors. Whether sharing a plate of hummus crafted in three distinct styles, or enjoying the fresh sea bass paired with crisp salad, the food encourages a slow appreciation—a meal savored alongside carefully chosen local beers or a refreshing lemonade. The kitchen strikes a delicate balance between comforting and intriguing, with dishes that invite conversation and discovery rather than hurry.

While the experience leans a touch towards the refined end of local dining, it’s the warmth of the atmosphere and the subtle details—the choice of a well-made winter Moscow mule, or the generous kindness of the staff helping out with practicalities—that leave a lasting impression. It’s perfectly suited for those who prefer the calm of an unpretentious gem where every meal is a gentle unfolding of new tastes and human moments.
