One night in Plovdiv, we ate dinner at a wonderful little restaurant called <a href="http://hemingway.bg/en/pages/read/aboutus" target="_blank">Hemingway BBQ and Grill</a>. We'd seen the place on a map and ended up stumbling into the restaurant in the pouring rain.

The food was great, the atmosphere was dark and a little mysterious and the house wine was top-notch.

Holy-smokes, we ate a ton of great food. It was hard to even pick what to order. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. We ended up picking our dishes using this rule of thumb: what is something that sounds good to me but isn't what I'd normally order. So basically, we moved from the safe-bet food to the new, interesting and unexpected dishes.

We also ordered a bottle of the house wine.

While waiting for the food, we took pictures. Now my dAd loves to take pictures. This man was taking hundreds of photos a day. I brought my computer along with us on this trip so that my dAd could download all of his photos each night. I am such a good daughter.

My sister is also a very good daughter. She isn't as obsessed with photo taking as either my dAd or me but she was a really good sport. She smiled (most of the time) when we took her photo and she waited around while we took photos of other things without ever sighing or rolling her eyes. Well, I am not sure about the eye rolling thing because I was busy taking photos.

As for the food I ordered a pork, olive and orange dish. My dAd ordered a lamb and parmesan ice cream. As for my sister, she went for the pistachio encrusted trout. We shared a flat bread with rosemary and I think garlic. Then we had a piece of cake for dinner. Oh and another bottle of wine.

The whole evening was wonderful and my dAd and sister couldn't get over how (relatively) inexpensive the restaurant was. They kept saying things like: the food is so good and the atmosphere feels so expensive. When the bill came they just couldn't believe how much good (and interesting) food we ate for the price. My dAd had to ask a few times wait: how much was that dinner in dollars?

Anyhow this is all just to say: we had an excellent time and a super meal at Hemingway BBQ and Grill.

Oh and my dAd's been telling people (maybe just me) that Hemingway ate in Plovdiv. I keep having to tell him that I don't think this is the case but it would be fun if it were.

We ended the night at this beautiful fountain.
