“ A lovely restaurant with a terrace, tucked away in a quiet location — no noise, just a relaxed holiday vibe. The staff speak excellent English and were very welcoming, while the food itself was outstanding. You even catch a glimpse of the sea through the trees, which adds to the atmosphere. We came here for lunch, left completely satisfied, and then strolled straight down to the beach to relax. Exactly the kind of spot you want to find on vacation. ”
“ The food is not to be missed. It's outstanding value for money. Our family shared the fish plate for TWO. this would be a £100 dish easily, in the UK. The seafood was super fresh and well cooked. Please check this place out. (the photo does not do it justice) ”
“ Bistro Ivan exceeded our expectations with its delightful offerings and excellent service. We tried the Pohani Sir, which was quite good, and the Cevapi, which were outstanding and deserve a 10/10. The Shopska Salad, while fresh, was missing onions and green peppers, which would have enhanced its flavor. The atmosphere at Bistro Ivan is simple and unpretentious, creating a cozy and relaxed dining experience. The service was fantastic, with friendly staff who spoke good English and ensured we had everything we needed promptly. The presentation of the dishes was straightforward, but the portions were impressively large, making it excellent value for money. The ingredients were fresh, contributing to the overall quality of the meals. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, adding to the pleasant experience. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, they are justified by the generous portions and the quality of the food. Bistro Ivan is a must-visit for anyone seeking hearty, delicious meals in a welcoming environment. Highly recommended! ”
