The Balabanov House is a representative for the development of the symmetrical Plovdiv house and is one of the most lavish examples of a house whose spatial composition is characterized by the equal role of two perpendicular axes, the one of the ground floor and the one of the 1st floor. It is also characterized by the exclusively rich elaboration of the architectural detail, of plastic and flat ornamentation. This pattern transcends the pure residential function and is similar to the features of a public building

A cosy wine bar with a personal touch. I would strongly recommend it both as a romantic evening's getaway or a place to chat with friends over a glass of good local wine. The small bites are the unexpected bonus to an already great experience.
