Lopatar is grill culture in Ovcha Kupel — an open kitchen, real fire, meat and game from carefully selected suppliers. No noise. No excess. Just craft.
Lopatar is not just another meat restaurant. Lopatar is grill culture — a place where fire, product and time make the difference.
We do not rely on effect. We do not follow trends. We are not for everyone. You come here when you want to try game from the mountains, slow-cooked veal head or real kashkaval on coals — without pretension, but with full seriousness.
The Lopatar — a noble deer with shovel-shaped antlers — is game with character. Strong. Quiet. Agile. Ready to surprise, but never for show. That is how we see our kitchen too.
Behind Lopatar is a team that has been building its reputation with meat and grill in Sofia for years. Lopatar is the next step — a place where the experience of two schools comes together under one roof.
Petrus brings the classic butcher maturity — the product, the cutting, the tradition. Ribs&Sticks brought the grill culture — the coals, the wood, the open kitchen.
At Lopatar these two signatures work together. No compromises. No rushing.
The open kitchen at the back of the hall is the heart of Lopatar. A real grill on coals and wood — not gas, not imitation.
The wood behind it is not for show. It goes into the fire. Oak, beech — we change them depending on what is cooking and what should smoke the flavour.
The menu evolves with the season: spring nettle and greens, autumn game, winter slow-cooked dishes.
Every month — something new.
Candelabra. Green woodwork. A brick wall with trophies from all corners. A chequered floor in front of the bar. A large hall for groups, quiet corners for two.
The hall is designed for long evenings — not for fast food. For people who sit down, put the phone away, order wine and speak out loud.
Meat from carefully selected suppliers. Game in season.
The menu evolves every season. No repetition, no template.
No script. No theatre. Just hospitality.
A restaurant in Ovcha Kupel — meat, game and grill culture. From the team behind Petrus and Ribs&Sticks.
