It was okay. The food was good, the service was fast and efficient, and the had some tasty not too expensive wine. The downsides were: 1) According to Google Maps, this bistro was closed when I came there. But it wasn’t. 2) Calamari was some unfrozen supermarket stuff, not a genuine dish. 3) Lamb casserole was in the menu but wasn’t in reality. 4) in their breakfast, haggis and black pudding were too dry.

IT WAS AWFUL. I never had such a stressful experience anywhere in the world, in any airport. My Austrian Airlines flight from London was delayed by about 50 minutes on some obscure and never clearly explained reason. So I only had about 10 minutes to get to my connection flight to Varna (also Austrian Airlines). The problem is, on the way from arrivals to departures there isn’t a single information board that would tell you where your departure gate is. I was running like mad and eventually found one such information board, in the end of this rather large airport opposite to the gate I had to run to. And, by the way, Austrian Airlines business class lounge is really mediocre (obviously, I only had a chance to experience it on the way TO London). The only kind of warm meal you can get there is a soup. And there is plenty of booze of any kind to go with that soup. But, to be fair, the views from the lounge are good.
