During a bright day in Varna, I stumbled upon the delightful Mrivkata Butcher Shop. Enticed by the scent of fresh meat, I was welcomed by a vast selection of pork, lamb, and beef. What caught my attention were their local delicacies: kufteta (Bulgarian meatballs), sausages, and more.
I couldn’t resist and ended up purchasing some mouth-watering pork kufteta, vratni parjoli, and pork ribs. The staff, brimming with warmth, shared tales of the shop’s longstanding history in Varna. Their dedication to top-notch meat and customer contentment was palpable.
For anyone visiting Varna with a penchant for quality meats, Mrivkata is an essential stop. And for those curious, photos of my purchases and the dishes I’ve whipped up are coming soon!
First Dish – Pork Kufteta
My wife and I cooked the most succulent pork kufteta we’ve ever tasted. To complement, she crafted a vibrant bean salad bursting with the crunch of cucumber, radish, and green onions, all tied together with fragrant dill, parsley, and a zesty homemade vinaigrette. The kufteta? A flawless 10/10 from me, and my wife couldn’t stop raving about their deliciousness. We both reveled in their juicy perfection.

Second Night – Sizzling Delight: Bulgarian-Style Pork Ribs Meets Mediterranean Magic!
Today, I sizzled up some tantalizing Bulgarian-style pork ribs, giving each side a golden sear for a precise 4-5 minutes. Marinated in a rich Greek-inspired blend, these ribs were nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. But wait, there’s more! My talented wife crafted a vibrant quinoa salad bursting with chickpeas, crisp peppers, refreshing cucumbers, crunchy carrots, juicy tomatoes, zesty red onions, fresh parsley, and a sprinkle of creamy feta. The ribs? Oh, they were a symphony of flavors, meltingly tender to the bite. Paired with that refreshing salad, it was a match made in food heaven. My wife’s verdict? “Absolutely delectable and oh-so-tender!” Safe to say, these ribs have earned a permanent spot on our shopping list. 🍖🥗🌟
