Reviews Summary

MEAT Gourmet Sandwiches and Burgers is celebrated for its superb quality burgers and unique sandwiches, particularly the smash burger and Philly steak, which are frequently praised for their taste and generous portions. Reviewers often highlight the good service, clean environment, and reasonable prices for the quality. Some minor critiques mention inconsistency in ingredient quality or service attentiveness during peak times, but overall, it's considered a top spot for a hearty meal.

"Having craved a burger for a few days I'm happy to say that this eatery really hit the spot!

Despite being busy service was friendly and efficient and the smash burger was excellent.

The fries were good as well (although overshadowed by the burger!). Portions were generous (we should have shared the fries).

Overall a great place to eat! 😝"

"Stopped by for dinner during my visit to Sofia and it was great. There were a lot of options which made it difficult to choose. I ordered the spicy grilled cheese sandwich option which was delicious - the perfect amount of spicy. I also got a glass of wine which was perfectly fine. The staff was friendly and the food came out quick. I’d definitely return and order the same thing or perhaps try something new."

Cheap Eats Guide to Sofia, Bulgaria

Stepping inside, I was immediately taken by the architecture of MEAT. White walls were flanked by blue tile and a multi-level build gave it the appearance of an ultra-modern loft, rather than a sandwich shop. This also provided an intimate dining setting where attentive staff behind the counter were quick to answer questions and make recommendations.

MEAT is a great place for a juicy burger and craft beer, with a funky interior. They only use the best quality Bulgarian meat and bake the burger buns fresh every day. Non-meat eaters can chow down on Halloumi burgers, but let’s be honest – you come here for the beef.
