Non-smoking restaurants and cafes in Sofia

Bulgaria has prohibited smoking in indoor public spaces since 2012, with consistent enforcement in newer venues. Sofia is the capital of Bulgaria, an inland city at the foot of Vitosha Mountain. The main concentrations of cafes and restaurants are in the city center around Vitosha Boulevard (the main pedestrian shopping street), the area around NDK (National Palace of Culture) at the southern end of Vitosha, and the neighborhoods of Lozenets and Studentski Grad which have dense clusters of cafes and restaurants. The area around the Central Market Hall and the streets of the city center around Dondukov Boulevard are also popular dining zones. Bulgarian cafe culture has a strong coffee-and-pastry tradition alongside meze-style appetizers and grilled meats.
