Tasting Menu in Stakevtsi with an Overnight Stay — ONÁ

A Tasting Menu in Stakevtsi with an Overnight Stay at ONÁ invites you to discover northwestern Bulgaria through seasonal food, a shared table and a restored village house. The eight-course dinner is the beginning, not the whole experience. Choose a package for one, two or three people, with all fees and VAT included. Instead of a familiar restaurant outing, spend time somewhere local ingredients, nature and conversation belong to the same story.

A village with a different pace

Stakevtsi is a small village away from city noise. ONÁ is not a hotel complex with a long list of facilities, nor a place built around showy luxury. The idea is simpler: stay long enough to stop measuring every part of the evening against the clock. Give the place your attention instead of continually thinking about what comes next.

You are not travelling for one particular dish, but for a broader encounter with the region. The quiet, the old house and the closeness between guests provide the food's context. They are part of the experience, not a backdrop added to dinner.

Eight courses around one table

Take a seat with the other guests at a communal table, with the kitchen nearby. The seasonal tasting menu unfolds gradually, one dish after another. It does not follow a fixed idea of what Bulgarian cooking should be. Instead, it explores the season, the surrounding nature and local products, alongside memories of familiar childhood flavours.

Traditional ingredients meet new ideas, including fermentation. Familiar foods are approached differently without losing their connection to their origins. The intention is to tell the story of the place through its food: its character, history and current season. Dinner becomes a way to understand the region, not simply a sequence of dishes.

You will not know everything you are going to taste beforehand, nor select individual dishes from a conventional menu. Let the sequence lead you. That element of discovery is part of the pleasure, with each course adding another perspective. Conversation has time to develop, and the nearby kitchen keeps the meal connected to the people making it.

The shared space feels less like a quick restaurant visit and more like a gathering. You do not need to leave immediately after the final course: the overnight stay is included, so the evening can continue in Stakevtsi.

A stay in a genuine village home

Sleep in a restored traditional house with its own history and character. On arrival, you put on traditional Bulgarian slippers, a small domestic gesture that says more about the approach than a standard hotel service. A bathroom is shared between two rooms. ONÁ is conceived as a village home rather than a standardised hotel environment.

There is no Wi-Fi and mobile reception is limited. In place of constant notifications and checking your phone, you can stay with the conversation and the quiet. Some guests may find that unusual; others may welcome the freedom. It is important to know in advance because it belongs to the character of the stay, rather than the usual expectations of city comfort.

Optional additions to your experience

The main package includes the overnight stay and eight-course seasonal dinner. Separate options are available at an additional charge:

• A wine package per person with dinner.
• A non-alcoholic package for one.
• A five-course tasting breakfast for one.

Breakfast provides another reason to start slowly around the table, while the drinks extend the tasting into your glass. These are not automatically included in the main offer: choose them according to your preferences, or keep the base experience.

Here, luxury is about removing distractions rather than adding services. An old house, a glass of wine and a long conversation can offer what is difficult to find in the city. You can also do nothing for a while, without feeling obliged to fill every minute or move on to the next task.

A memory beyond the menu

ONÁ is for you if food is a way to understand a place, the products it grows and the people who share them. Your memories may include the road to the village, the slippers, a conversation with someone you had just met or the quiet without constant connectivity, as well as the eight dishes.
