Where to Eat in Varna: 10 Restaurants to Try
-
01 / Bulgarian food at the port
Staria Chinar Port
The port branch of Staria Chinar combines Bulgarian food with a harbour location. This is the branch for a waterfront itinerary; the Macedonia and Preslav restaurants are separate venues. Consider it when taking visitors for local food and planning to stay around the Sea Station after dinner.
- Address
- Pristanishten Complex, Odesos, 9000 Varna
- Catalogue rating
- 4.6/5 · 7,193 reviews
-
02 / Beach dining and cocktails
El Kapan
El Kapan is on the beach promenade by the North Sea Baths. Its own introduction combines beach dining with signature cocktails inspired by the Caribbean. It is an option for food and drinks at one address. For an off-season visit, use the venue’s seasonal announcements rather than assuming a year-round timetable.
- Address
- kap. "Georgi Georgiev", K raybrezhna Aleya, Severni Morski Bani, Primorski Odesos, 9000 Varna
- Catalogue rating
- 4.5/5 · 4,574 reviews
-
03 / Pizza and pasta at the port
Burrata Italiana Varna
Burrata brings an Italian direction to the harbour restaurants. Its website presents pizzas, rigatoni and salads, giving a group several meal formats to compare in advance. The listing here is specifically the Varna East Port restaurant, rather than another branch of the chain.
- Address
- Pristanishte Varna Iztok, Pristanishten Complex, Odesos, 9000 Varna
- Catalogue rating
- 4.6/5 · 3,678 reviews
-
04 / A Central Beach restaurant
The Sea Terrace
The Sea Terrace is by Central Beach, one of the options for a waterfront dinner. Its official website offers a virtual tour, useful for looking at the setting before booking. Compare this location with the port restaurants if your after-dinner walk is towards the Sea Garden and Slivnitsa Boulevard.
- Address
- Tsentralen Sq azh, Restorant Morska Terasa, Primorski Odesos, 9000 Varna
- Catalogue rating
- 4.5/5 · 3,424 reviews
-
05 / A fish restaurant aboard a galleon
Mr. Baba
Mr. Baba is the galleon restaurant beside the Sea Station. Its website describes five dining areas over three levels, with fish, seafood, pasta and vegetarian choices. Compare the decks and rooms when booking, since their different layouts matter for a family dinner, a group table or a date.
- Address
- Varna Centre Odesos, Blvd „Primorski“ 27, 9000 Varna
- Catalogue rating
- 4.4/5 · 3,264 reviews
-
06 / A central Slivnitsa address
Happy Bar & Grill (Centre)
This is Happy at 22 Slivnitsa Boulevard, the most-reviewed restaurant in the current Varna catalogue. We include one branch to leave room for other venues in the ten. The location is useful when dinner should stay in the centre rather than at the port or in the resorts north of Varna.
- Address
- Varna Centre Odesos, Blvd „Slivnitsa“ 22, 9002 Varna
- Catalogue rating
- 4.6/5 · 14,570 reviews
-
07 / A restaurant in Akchelar
BM Olea
BM Olea is in Akchelar along 8-mi Primorski Polk Boulevard. It extends the selection beyond the centre and Sea Station and is most relevant for a group already in northeastern Varna. Open the profile map before arranging the meeting: this is a different area from the pedestrian beach promenade.
- Address
- Akchelar Primorski, Blvd „8-mi Primorski polk“ 1743, 9010 Varna
- Catalogue rating
- 4.6/5 · 2,115 reviews
-
08 / A Vladislavovo option
Karte
Karte at 9 Troleyna Street is the Vladislavovo option. Not every dinner calls for a trip to the waterfront: if your group is in western Varna, this address is worth comparing with the central restaurants. The profile has more than 1,300 reviews and a website link for exploring the menu.
- Address
- Vladislavovo Mladost, St „Troleyna“ 9, 9009 Varna
- Catalogue rating
- 4.6/5 · 1,316 reviews
-
09 / A restaurant-pizzeria in Vinitsa
Fratelli (Vinitsa)
Fratelli at 3 Tsar Boris III Street is the Vinitsa branch. It is useful for dinner near this neighbourhood instead of automatically choosing the harbour. The venue is listed as a restaurant-pizzeria and links to its menu website. Specify Vinitsa when sharing the location, since the brand has multiple branches.
- Address
- Vinitsa Primorski, St „Tsar Boris III-ti“ 3, 9022 Varna
- Catalogue rating
- 4.4/5 · 1,905 reviews
-
10 / Dining on Knyaz Boris I
La Bocca
La Bocca at 68 Knyaz Boris I Boulevard is another central dinner option. The address allows you to continue towards bars on the same boulevard, such as Black Sheep. Explore the photographs and menu through its profile when comparing a city-centre meal with a longer route to a waterfront restaurant.
- Address
- Varna Centre Odesos, Blvd „Knyaz Boris I-vi“ 68, 9000 Varna
- Catalogue rating
- 4.5/5 · 1,606 reviews

How we chose these places
Our selection balances venue format, location and the available catalogue reviews. Numbers help you navigate; they are not tasting scores. Ratings and counts are a snapshot from 6 September 2026. Listing data and any additional venue sources are linked separately. We have not personally visited every place.
Our editorial approach →Where to eat in Varna: port, beach or neighbourhood?
A central meal has a different route from Vinitsa, Akchelar or Vladislavovo. Happy on Slivnitsa and La Bocca work for the pedestrian centre. Fratelli, BM Olea and Karte offer neighbourhood choices. Golden Sands restaurants are not presented here as neighbours of the Sea Station: the journey is part of a realistic dinner decision.
How to compare the bill before booking
Compare the same order at two places: a main, the sides you need and a drink. A lunch offer, delivery menu and dinner menu can have different prices. Where a venue publishes a specific menu fact, it is linked in its description; the review score in the table is not a price guide.
