Good food

Its a pay by weight buffet with some good quality food. Expect to pay western/northern Europe prices not Bulgarian prices.

DOES NOT accept card payment

Pros: quality, Options

Cons: for Bulgaria/balkans it's expensive

Varied healthy selection

Love Kring. The buffet style is ideal as you can take as little or as much as you want. Good quality. And you get a free roll and water.

Pros: Variety

tasty but expensive

really tasty, buffet food with plenty of choice and comfy places inside to sit and eat. however, it ended up very expensive. over £14 for 1 plate… they price by weight (i did add quite a lot to it as was super hungry, but even so… ouch to the wallet.) on the plus side, the food was delicious.

Simple and tasty

we went there late, not many options left but still… everything tasted great. It’s like a buffet, you take whatever you like and then they will weight it for you to determine the price (pretty cheap, in my opinion) would totally recommend it!!

Tasty and healthy, but expensive

I really liked coming here. The buffet is signed with English (as well as Bulgarian) labels, so it’s very obvious what is vegan.

Everything I got was really good, and appeared healthy, the staff were friendly and speak English and the restaurant is a pleasant place to sit.

The only downside was that I found it to be really expensive. You pay by weight, and my moderate plate of food came to 31.58 lev, which is more than I’d expect to pay for equivalent cook-to-order meals in other restaurants.

Pros: Tasty and healthy, Labels are in English and staff speak English, Pleasant place to sit

Cons: Expensive

Favourite place for a quick meal

My go-to choose when I'm in a hurry - vegetarian buffet with many vegan options that change daily. Cooked meals, a soup and bread, salads, veggies. Free water😄Few desserts too!

Nice buffet

Almost everything was vegan, everything was good, the soy bite with pineapple was incredibly delicious. The staff could be more friendly and welcoming.

Healthy food that tastes great

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Sofia. The buffet has many vegan options. On most days it's entirely vegan. The food is healthy, I always feel good after eating here. The price is on the expensive side, compared to most places in Sofia. I think it is worth it though.

Pay by weight buffet

Small buffet selection of vegetarian and vegan food - 2 curries, a noodle dish and sides when I visited. All nice enough. Good lunch spot, but seems expensive for Bulgarian prices.

One of the best buffets ever


Wasn’t sure what to expect for a vegetarian buffet but my partner and I were totally blown out of the water by Kring. 99% of the food was vegan, and they had all kinds of local (and Westernized) vegan foods. A completely full plate was only $8, which was unbelievable considering how much food we got! Would come here again.

Almost entirely vegan lunch buffet

Most of the dishes are vegan. There are labels in front of every meal whether it is vegan or vegetarian. Water and bread are on the house.

Pros: Homemade saitan and tempeh, Lots of options

Cons: Location, Strange music, The place needs some renovation

Fantastic traditional food. Excellent service.

I came in not knowing what to expect, and the friendly staff member at the counter informed me that everything was vegan except for a dish or two and he came out and pointed them out for me. The food was delicious.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Excellent service , Delicious food

Cons: More expensive than expected, but well worth it!

Kring was one of my best experiences in Bulgaria! The staff were so welcoming and the atmosphere was authentic and wholesome.
There was a delicious buffet with all the vegan food clearly marked. The place was cosy and it was worth the little walk there.

Pros: Many vegan options , Buffet to choose from, Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff

Best in Bulgaria

I wrote the review beneath this edit note about 10 years ago and have just seen it appears I did not publish it or something.
I have been back recently, having been out of Bulgaria for 10 years. Everything holds except that the music was absent and I missed it, sad it is not there. Also I missed the menu and table service, but I already knew that had changed. It is quite a bit more expensive than it used to be. But they now have plant milk which is great. *******

Great atmosphere, good food, nice, friendly people, good music, great artistic decor. Really nice people, and very accommodating for me as a vegan. Great fun to be with, just really relaxing and a good place to de-stress. A very serious and hurtful personal clash and possibly misunderstanding, but lovely people and good food in a good atmosphere. I liked it and really liked the people, in spite of my own problems there, which were slightly exacerbated by their insistence on their own spirituality and constant loud spiritual references, at least on one occasion, which felt as if they more than bordered on harassment. It actually reduced me to tears, I was very upset, because I was and am quite vulnerable as a victim of intense media and possibly other stalking. I went for the food, atmosphere and friendship, and it all became very confusing for me and everyone else. Some of them were great and I love them. Rating 5 because overall its a great place and its staff are very sweet (not in the yucky sense).

Pros: Nice people, Flexible and accommodating, Good, nutritious, down to earth food, Nice decor and relaxing atmosphere

Delicious

Good choice of fresh and delucious food.
The people there are super friendly and the atmosphere is also great.

There are usually many dishes to choose from and the non-vegan ones are marked as such.

Since they are about 95% vegan, 100% is definitely possible, all it needs is a little nudge in the right direction😉

Pros: Very delicious, Friendly staff

My absolute favourite place to eat in Bulgaria

I have been coming here from years, every time i get a chance to refuel when im visiting Sofia. Their buffet style is perfect for me as i like to try from almost every food available. They post week in advance their menu in their site which is great to know what day whats coming. They are also the only ones in BG that made seitan and tempe and most other restaurants get it from them. Their food is always good and nutritionally adequate.
Peaceful and pleasant place and much more that just a restaurant for me.
They also have only 1 or 2 meals in the whole weekly menu that contain dairy and everything else is vegan. So most days everything is completely vegan or plant based.
Their staff is always top notch. I saw currently a guy that was very polite and super nice. I felt like he is a great human being although we didnt speak much. Highly recommended.

Pros: Variety of nutritionally adequate tasty food, Seitan and tempe. Ask, if you want to buy for home
