Cactus - Sofia

The food is fine. My dishes were not bad, not great, but not bad. The issue is the lack of quality service. No greeting upon arrival. When I walked in, everyone was on their phone. Some were itting in the stairs inside, or the chairs upstairs. After I sat down, the waiter put the menu on the table and walked off, as I was obviously an inconvenience. He forgot my beverage, and I had to remind him after 15 mins. After I was finished, my food plates sat there while multiple service staff walked by, and the flies gathered on the plate. Asked for a cappuccino, and that again was an inconvenience. It has now been about another 20 mins waiting for him so I can ask for my bill. It's a bit ridiculous. I'm sitting here writing this as I wait. Super unimpressed. I always leave a tip, but nah I am good this time. The waiter never said thank you after I paid, nothing. Just walked off. Do yourself a favor and walk up the road by 1 min and get excellent food and service by one of the many other restaurants in the neighborhood. Also, hire people with some social skills.

For salad we ordered a tasty salad with goat cheese and sour cherry sauce and the salad with burrata cheese. We have also tried the chicken fillet bonbons with crunchy crust. The top of the top however were the desserts, that were delicious. We ordered dessert with mascarpone, lemon and toffee caramel and the chocolate cherry with coulis from amaretto and sour cherry with a very nice pistachio ice cream… Enjoyed the whole experience and definitely recommend this place for a place to eat in Sofia.

The restaurant and atmosphere was nice but the food was not good. Definitely not worth the price. Everything was greasy. My shrimp pasta was a pool of oil. The only ok thing was the risotto. Out of 6 dishes only 1 was good. There is much better food for a much cheaper price.

Nice food. The restaurant is rather dark and not very well decorated. The service was ok.

The main dish was great, but the dessert…it was one of the best I’ve had in town.
