About the best setting of any restaurant in Sofia, right on Pancharevo lake. It's a bit out of town but worth a special trip. I've mostly had long lunches here and it is superb for that even for the setting alone. Staff are very friendly, professional, and honest with their advice. Not cheap but the food has always even excellent.... More

I don't know, who wrote the reviews before us, but they are not through. The location might be great, when one is there in summer time, directly at a lake,but in March, when you cannot sit outside, we were the only guests. The food was mediocre, etc. The staff was friendly even though not perfectly trained, deserved my plate already... More

My experiences of Bulgarian food had largely been very positive. The quality of the ingredients was mostly very good so I was interested to see how well they married up with a 'fine dining' experience. I have long been a fan and advocate of Trip Advisor so naturally when I wanted to find a good restaurant on my recent trip... More

We had our wedding there at the end of May. Perfectly served by the staff, the reacted quickly on the sudden rain, collecting everything important from the garden. The waiters were experienced and always there when needed, without being intrusive. Interior was nice, food was great, as were the drinks. The manager was helpful and very kind.

Having read the reviews on tripadvisor we thought we'd give Lebed a go. From staying in central so Sophia it took approx 25 min by taxi costing about 15-18 lev to get there. Firstly the restaurant building lives up to the expectation. Interior was romanticallly lit with booths (having tv's with fishtanks playing) and tables to look towards the lake.... More

This is my family's favorite place. We visit it often, for parties or just to enjoy the supreme cuisine.

We went with friend who knew her way around and she took us here. It's about 20 minutes outside of Sofia center but worth twice the time to get there. Pure ambiance and surrounded by a beautiful lake. The food is excellent and a incredible menu choice. We spent hours there enjoying both the food and the company and I... More

Great place, excellent cuisine, fantastic service. Expensive. Suitable for special ceremonies like wedding parties, birthdays and so on. Located at 15 km from Sofia on the lake of Pancharevo. Nice view especially in summer time.

Food was delicious, the atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy, but modern and expensive. The waitresses were very kind and the location is very good, close to the lake.

Hands down your best bet to enjoy great local food in conjunction with a wonderful location beside the lakefront. 10-15 minutes outside Sofia but it's worth the drive. Since Sofia isn't the most beautiful city in the world one finds this place quite surprising.
