At the insistence of friends we have visited Cactus 2 times, both times I was disappointed as we're they. They insisted that their 1st visit without me was really good. Both times I was there however they were unable to eat their steak as it was too rare for them despite asking for medium well and sending it back. I... More

Good choice of dishes, well organised and clear menu. Good quality food and efficient service. Don't expect low prices (we paid 100 lev for 2 people), especially if you have wine. Be careful ordering the bread - it's delicious but it's an expensive extra. Pleasant atmosphere (more international than local) and well located. More

Perfect food and service. Try the duck rolladina and camamembert. Може би, едно от най- добрите места за ядене в София. More
