An exhibition titled Food and Drink of the Bulgarians: From the Oriental Table to the Canteen opens today at 17:00 at the Archives Exhibition Hall of the State Archives Agency, located at 5 Moskovska Street in Sofia. The exhibition explores the history of food and beverages as part of Bulgaria’s social and cultural development from the Liberation to the 1990s.
Visitors will learn how food was produced and sold, how dining culture evolved over the decades, which restaurants and patisseries were the most popular and even the favourite dishes of famous public figures.
