The Christmas spirit is taking over Sofia, bringing with it the aromas, flavors, and cozy charm of Alpine cuisine!

Lucky Bansko is bringing a touch of its signature hospitality to the Christmas Market in front of the NDK (National Palace of Culture). Our “Lucky Bansko Raclette Lodge” will welcome visitors with mouth-watering specialties inspired by Alpine culinary traditions, infused with the distinct flavors found at our Fondue and Leonardo restaurants.

From November 20 to December 28, 2026, we invite you to stop by for a delicious encounter with the cuisine of Lucky Bansko—surrounded by festive lights, the aroma of melted cheese, and lively conversations with friends. Whether you are planning a family outing, an after-work get-together, or a festive weekend in the capital, the Lucky Bansko Raclette Lodge is the perfect reason to linger a little longer.

The Taste of the Alps Meets the Culinary Inspiration of Fondue and Leonardo

At the heart of this culinary experience lies the traditional Alpine raclette—warm, aromatic melted cheese served in a way that is a true delight for both the eyes and the palate. Its enticing aroma, delicate texture, and rich flavor make this specialty the perfect accompaniment to a winter stroll. Our raclette offerings will be complemented by a selection of flavors inspired by the Fondue and Leonardo restaurants. The Alpine character of Fondue and the Italian culinary inspiration of Leonardo come together in a menu crafted for the festive spirit of the market.

Discover:

  • Raclette specialties featuring warm, melted cheese paired with delicious accompaniments.
  • Selected dishes from the Fondue kitchen, inspired by the cozy charm and rich flavors of the Alps.
  • Culinary delights with the signature touch of Leonardo, adding an Italian flair to the winter menu.

The menu combines beloved flavors, high-quality ingredients, and meticulous presentation—the very same details that define the dining experience at Lucky Bansko’s restaurants. For market visitors, this is a chance to sample our cuisine right here in Sofia, while returning guests can reconnect with their favorite flavors.

A Festive Gathering in the Heart of Sofia
