Plakamoto, 8 Ivan Aleksandar, Old Town
This popular taverna comes with 3 sea-view terraces – the best lunchtime spot is the one that’s shaded by a giant fig tree. On the menu, fresh fish is the house speciality so try the grilled turbot and a side of shopska – a crunchy cucumber, onion and tomato salad topped with tangy cheese. Meat eaters get the equally tasty pork stuffed with mozzarella. A glass of the strong local rakia should hit the spot, too.
