Plovdiv is full of kiosks and cafAŠs selling coffee,
hamburgeri
, sandwiches and other
snack food
, especially along Otets Paisii and Knyaz AleksandA?r I, where you'll also find a
McDonald's
(the first to open in Bulgaria) at no. 42, and a
KFC
at no. 48. For fresh fruit and veg, there's an outdoor
market
, known as the Polnedelnik pazar, on pl. VA?zrazhdane, to the east of Otets Paisii, and a larger one near the junction of bulevards Ruski and 6 Septemvri, west of pl. SA?edinenie.
The choice for evening
meals
is equally wide. Some of the most stylish places are in the National Revival-style houses of Old Plovdiv. They are expensive by native standards, but still affordable to most visitors, if you don't mind splashing out US$10-20 for a first-class meal. The food at the
Hotel Trimontium Princess
is fair though unremarkable, while its sombre restaurant looks more like the venue for a politburo reception than the dining room of a luxury hotel. Standards (and prices) at the
Novotel
are far higher. Other useful information
