About Plovdiv

Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria after Sofia and cultural centre of the country, situated on the Maritsa River. Its unique location on these ancient crossroads has stimulated strong cultural and political influences from East and West civilizations, and yet maintained its unique cultural identity. Being older than most of the oldest towns like Rome, Athens, Carthage or Constantinople, an almost contemporary of Troy, Plovdiv is a town built upon layers of towns and a culture developed upon layers of cultures. Plovdiv is a picturesque town, with many parks and gardens, museums and archaeological monuments. Its old part, called the Old Town, with houses from the National Revival period (18-19th century), is an imposing open-air museum situated on the three hills of the ancient Trimontium. One of the most remarkable sights of the town, the Ancient Theatre (a well-preserved Roman theatre), is located there and is still used for open-air performances.

Makalali Club

Located in the historic Kapana Neighbourhood only a few meters away from Main Street, Makalali is a dance club with a trendy interior. As the name suggests, the African tribal theme is omnipresent here (Makalali is named after an exotic private game lodge in South Africa and translates as «Place of Rest» from the local African tongue). At night the mystic atmosphere is enhanced by the music, as well as the vision – a multitude of bodies gently swaying in the tribal house rhythm. Whether it’s just a regular party or the setting for a stylish music video – find out yourself by immersing yourself in the Makalali experience.

Hemingway BBQ and Bar

---

Hemingway restaurant - only a few steps away from the main pedestrian alley of the city of Plovdiv . There you can find yourselves into a nice oasis with distinguished and cozy ambiance full of Bulgarian hospitality and varied and tasty cuisine.
This restaurant is unique with its identity! It is here where the very spirit of Ernest Hemingway’s books hovers above the ambience. There is a slight interior accent on thematically decorated objects inside the restaurant having been influenced by the burden of times and a lot of culinary temptations made and being served with a lot of exquisiteness and refined manner to our guests.
Hemingway restaurant is directly opposite the Central Municipality House of Plovdiv and another emblematic location to all Plovdiv people-the central fountain and the "button-like" seats near it. There are a lot of important administrative buildings nearby as well and that is the reason why you might meet an important or public VIP person, your relative or a friend having their meal inside our restaurant.
There is a great variety of traditional, European and Mediterranean seafood delicacies included into our menu which could meet all the different tastes of all of our guests! There are two different saloons and a lobby bar all in the same restaurant hall.
For those whom we haven’t met so far we could recommend just to give themselves the slightest effort of reaching the quiet narrow street where they will meet us-Hemingway restaurant.
