“A few hours before his magnificent concert at NDK, where he ‘attacked’ the stage with his fire violin, and he took over everyone with his charisma, talent and sense of humor, Ara met with EVA magazine. While enjoying the spectacular view of Sofia from 85 meters above ground level at The View Restaurant, the Armenian musician born in Lebanon with a Spanish passport shared that even though he is in our country for the second time, in Bulgaria he feels at home”.

Served daily as a buffet-style, the lunch offers are salads, soups, seven main dishes including vegetarian and fish options, and of course desserts.
