Vintage Bulgaria Restaurant & Bar ran by a Bulgarian family set foot in Penang island since 2008. This restaurant is famous for its authentic Bulgarian food, namely the grilled or pan-fried meats with rich spices and herbs, and a healthy amount of salads.
The restaurant reflects a typical Bulgarian theme and layout where there is a lower level dining area which has a great setting for romantic dinner with the area being separated into cosy nooks, quaint wooden windows accented with lace curtains and fireplace and cosy wooden bar for drinking session. While on the upper floor, it has a function room suitable for private functions and group celebrations.
It was our first time dining in this restaurant and it left us with a very good impression of the ambient. Let's take a look at the food served during our food review session.

Food Promotions pick of the day is the Tatarsko Kyofte, Bulgarian Platter and the dessert; Baklava.
Tatarsko Kyofte from 3-Course Set Dinner, is the traditional recipe of grilled seasoned mince pork stuffed with roast peppers, parsley and cheese. We love it without the gravy, for the original texture meat taste with spices.
Our favourite will goes to Bulgarian Platter, the classic mixed grill of homemade kebapche, kyofte, Karnatche (pork and beef spiced sausage) and succulent pork fillet. Four types of different servings of pork and beef; all homemade by the secret recipe of the Bulgarian family, is full of flavors.
Finally for sweet tooth lovers, Baklava is a must! The layers of light golden pastry, with a filling of walnuts & cinnamon, soaked in rich honey-lemon syrup is sweet and crispy at the same time. Baklava must be ordered 3 days in advanced for them to prepare.
Besides the above, we also recommend the Bulgarian Chicken Kiev and Chicken Shashlik. Do drop by for a taste of Bulgaria, at the address below. Enjoy dining.
