About this tour
This session shows Plovdiv's food along its main pedestrian street, starting at a grill serving kebapche. You see the grill itself, then a counter selling banitsa with a few different fillings typical of a local bakery. The session stays along a short stretch of the main street.
We open with a short sound check near the grill. I keep a brief, relaxed pace and take questions about the dishes as we go. Afterwards I send a short list of what we saw being prepared.
This suits anyone curious about local food away from restaurant menus. It also works well paired with the Dzhumaya Mosque walk.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera

Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
