    This is, by far, the highest level culinary experience that I've had in Bulgaria. It surpassed my expectations and I am so happy that I took my mother along. We had an amazing dinner, the service was extremely professional, and the Chef is a delightful, humble man with incredible imagination and the skill to match it. Simply superb! Be sure to make a reservation several days in advance!

    One of the only 2 places worth mentioning in Stara Zagora for me. I was there 2 times in November 2022 and really like the place. First and foremost - the menu is super short and changes with the seasons. Almost unheard of in Stara Zagora restaurants, most if which have super long menus with dishes that never vary despite seasonal change. Do not expect shopska salad and meatballs, every restaurant's staples, this is not what this place is all about (luckily!). The food is French inspired - there are snails, onion soup and other dishes with which the French cuisine is famous with. The food is really delicious and you can literally feel the love and effort that goes into each dish. There are little things like the broth for the onion soup lacking some depth but the soup was delicious nevertheless. The desserts are absolutely amazing - I manage to try altogether 5 different desserts for the 2 times there and there wasn't a single one that wasn't super super good! The staff and the Chef are super friendly and nice. The only little minus is the location - such a good restaurant deserves a better location. But this will never stop me from going there or recommending it to anyone I know.

    As Professionals and as Guests we have had the immense pleasure to dine and furthermore to work alongside projects with Restaurant"Le Chef" avec Ivan Agafinov. In both opportunities, as a Chef and as a Guests I have come to appreciate, respect and become friends with Chef. Ivan and his lovely partner Denitza. We both; my wife Chef. Anna Chiarini and myself, we thank the entire team of Restaurant"Le Chef '' avec Ivan Agafinov and recommend to anyone passing through Stara Zagora to stop and enjoy Chef's Ivan creative Franco/Bulgarian Cuisine.

    Very good food and service. By far the best food I have had in Stara zagora, and probably in the whole of Bulgaria. Location is a little out of the centre, but is actually quite nice. The view and ambiance is good. I would give this place six stars. I had Foie gras, Moules, and crème brûlée. All excellent.

    I recently dined at this charming French restaurant, and it was an absolute delight. The culinary experience was exquisite, with each dish showcasing impeccable quality and the freshest seasonal ingredients. The artful pairing of meals with a selection of French wines elevated the dining experience to a new level. Not only did the food excel in flavor and presentation, but the service was equally impressive. The staff exhibited a perfect blend of professionalism and warmth, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. The cozy atmosphere of the restaurant created a welcoming ambiance, making it a perfect place for a memorable meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a taste of authentic French cuisine coupled with outstanding service in a setting that exudes warmth and charm. It’s a gem that encapsulates the essence of fine dining.

    The French cuisine is amazing and the French wines are perfectly selected. The service is excellent as well. The ambience of the restaurant is close to the nature and the tennis courts. In my opinion, that’s truly the best restaurant in the region - I definitely recommend it.
