What do the coworkers eat at Coworking Bansko?

by Hristina Atanasova

How much of your time during the day you are spending just on thinking what to eat? Choosing the place and meal every day is not that easy job for everyone. But if you are a digital nomad at Coworking Bansko, there are a dozen of available options for your lunch break with the coworkers.

So, I was a short-term volunteer at Coworking Bansko and I have some ideas or photos to show you what do the coworkers eat here.

Since I was staying at the volunteer’s apartment I was usually having my breakfast at home then going to the coworking. A simple but usual breakfast for me is “Banica” with yoghurt and some fruits, which you can find at a local market.

The mornings in Bansko are fresh and chill, hence having a breakfast at the square under some shadows is a good idea. There is a fountain at the square with fresh and cold water, completely safe for drinking. The coworking space is just a few minutes far from here.

Once you are at the coworking space you will always find someone snacking or asking if someone is hungry. Well I found Adam having his meal. He had some apple, chia seed, muesli, honey and a bit of cinnamon
I did not try it myself but Adam says it is really delicious. Also, after some time Zaq came with his dish full of muesli. Seems like it is a good way to survive another day at the “office”.

Coworking Bansko is also offering you the option to get a cooked meal right there. On the board on the wall in the social area of the coworking space you can write down a chosen meal and the lady will cook it for you. An important note: you have to choose and write down a day before so the lady will know in advance and have the time to prepare everything.

And then after a while of working hours, ti is already time for lunch. There is a nice place right next door. You can get a tasty pizza in just 10 minutes. While waiting for the pizza to be ready, you can jump to the open market nearby and get some fresh vegetables to make a salad. It is a really fast, easy and tasty lunch.

Bansko is such a beautiful and quiet place where you can do so many different activities. I did not have much of work do to around at the coworking space so I went for a quick bicycle ride to the nearby mountains. The surrounding is really nice and I definitely enjoyed it.

I came back for dinner. It was barbecue time at the coworking. It is one of the many events at Coworking Bansko. Here everyone is welcomed to join, bring their own food, snacks and drinks then share with everybody else. A variety of grilled vegetables, meat and bread, sorts of salads, cheese, and much more along with some wine would make a perfect dinner. Well, everyone was hungry and waiting for the food to be ready so we did not have much of time to take a lot of nice pictures, but here’s one as an example.

In case you prefer eating in a restaurant then you have so many options. There are many local “Mehana’s” which could be found around Bansko. All of them are offering traditional dishes prepared from the local chefs. People here are welcoming in general, it is guaranteed that you are more than welcome to try and enjoy the local food and engage with the community. Just to mention, the prices are not high so you can get a decent lunch / dinner for around 10 Bulgarian lev.

However, there is no way to stay hungry in Bansko. You will always find a good option according to your preferred flavors. In case you cannot choose between a few meals, ask a coworker for a recommendation, it always helps.
