☆ Overall Vote:
7.5/10 ★




Location: Happy Bar & Grill 

ulitsa „Georgi S. Rakovski“ 145А, 1000 Sofia Center, Sofia, Bulgaria




☆ Food: 7/10 ★

Obviously there are many more places in the city with more traditional dishes but the impression from the menu which gives a lot of choices it's one of the reason to visit this place, overall the quality is good especially for the meat and potatoes based dishes as you can see in the pictures.

Not to mention a huge variety with the desserts as well so it's a recommended place for some comfort food as well.


☆ Vibe: 8/10 ★

The service is good and quick and they speak English as well which is a plus in an east European country, the atmosphere is cosy and at the same time is spacious with many seats available which means that usually you don't have to wait much to be seated.

They also have bells on the table since it's a big restaurant and may not be that easy to be able to call the waiter.


✪ Interesting facts:

⍟  The restaurant is located in the city centre not far from the Square of tolerance where different religious buildings are all near each other’s harmoniously and definitely deserves a visit just for the architecture

Similar to the GI we can divide food based on GL that can be: LOW:  under 10 MEDIUM: 11-19 HIGH: over 20   In the previous post we discussed about the GI - Glicemic Index and you might have noticed that sometimes could be confusing and has some flows : - It doesn't consider a portion of that food , so is just giving a generic number to it and sometimes is not that accurate - An example is: watermelon which appears to have a high GI but is actually not becuase it reaches that level only with a very large portion  - GI is a good way to make quick food choices but GL is more accurate and is the next step for a better understanding on what kind of food choices to make - The preparation and other ingredients change the GI for example fibers or a longer cooking method will lower the GI level from the one you will see reported officially There are many tables you can find online basically for any kind of food and here some: http://dietdatabase.com/glycemic-index-and-glycemic-load
