Eating and Drinking
Plovdiv is full of kiosks and cafes selling coffee, hamburgeri , sandwiches and other snack food , especially along Otets Paisii and Knyaz Aleksandar I, where you'll also find a McDonald's (the first to open in Bulgaria) at no. 42, and a KFC at no. 48. For fresh fruit and veg, there's an outdoor market , known as the Polnedelnik pazar, on pl. Vazrazhdane, to the east of Otets Paisii, and a larger one near the junction of bulevards Ruski and 6 Septemvri, west of pl. Saedinenie.

They are expensive by native standards, but still affordable to most visitors, if you don't mind splashing out US$10-20 for a first-class meal.

Standards (and prices) at the Novotel are far higher.
