Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visited Varna briefly and tried put this place for lunch based on previous reviews. The location is great - right on the beach - and the atmosphere good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Service was very quick. We only had salads but both were very good and there was plenty of choice. They take credit cards.

We visited El Kapan on a hot summer day, thirsty and hungry directly from the beach. We were greeted with a smile and a table was found although we had no reservation (for lunch you may be lucky to find a free table). We enjoyed very much the laid back ambiente and the Cuban music that provided the musical background without being obtrusive. We had fish dishes that were very tasty and brought in quite a short time after ordering them. We also had some Bulgarian wine, which proved to be an extremely pleasant surprise (we tasted before mainly red wines, but now we tried some white ones). Recommend a visit!

Managed to be seated late in the afternoon. A table next to the sand beach was ready for us; reserved after two hours by other guests. The waiter seems annoyed by our presence. The drinks were served quite soon. A request for a teaspoon was honoured too late for its purpose. A skewer of pork neck with some vegetables named after the place didn't manage to enjoy. The grilled octopus with spicy potatoes was very well appreciated. The waiter is still indifferent. Going to another place for dessert.

We tried other restaurants nearby and came back to this one several times to try the other dishes. we were never disappointed. big thank you to the boss for her welcome and the team. it is one of my favorites of our road trip in Bulgaria!!

Went to the restaurant with the whole family, a big clmpany and were absolutely delighted! Besides the beautiful beach and sea views, we were very pleased with the service. The waiters were polite, well-mannered, never took long. Food is a bomb!!! Overall the theme of the restaurant is barbecue and fish and the choice is very wide. My dad never liked veal barbecue so much! Everything is cooked just amazingly delicious, we will definitely come back here next time and definitely advise everyone El Kapan!!!

We visit El Kapan many times this summer with my friends and it is perfect place for relax all day on the beach and later to seat in restaurant. Bar offers large variety of fresh lemonades and cocktail. Food is super fresh, tasty and most important different than other restaurants on the beach. I strongly recommend this place!

Fabulous food and chill beach vibe. I highly recommend treating yourself to not only a delicious meal here but chill on the beach under an umbrella on a lounger with wait-service while snaking on good food and drinks enjoying the black sea. My now go-to location while in Varna. I began with the hummus with grapefruit and saffron and it was light, fresh and delicious. Then I had the pleasure of the atlantic red fish with black rice and a delicious fruit salsa and spicy chutney. The white sangria was also light and refreshing. The service was easy and attentive: I never felt rushed.

We were at first hesitant to come here as it is Caribbean food in Bulgaria, however decided to give it a try. Wow! Food was excellent. A wide variety of grill options. Food and fish were all super fresh and good flavor. Limited vegetarian options, mostly consisting of salads. Prices were reasonable given that it was beach front. Most of the tables were outside and even on the beach which was beautiful. They were able to accommodate us without a reservation, but definitely come early as it gets crowded. Have a wide variety of fresh lemonade and teas, which is awesome. Taking one star off for service. Service started good, but the waitress then was ignoring us. She would attend to the tables near ours but would not come back to our table. Overall would highly recommend when in Varna!

Inexpensive, very good food with top service and an appealing ambience - indoors and outdoors. One of the best resataurants on the kilometre-long seafront! I was there twice a week during my 14 day holiday. From 18:30 to 18:30 you can easily get a table without reservation - after that practically daily booked.

Despite the location right on the seafront this restaurant offers really good food and, thanks to Covid, was v quiet when we visited. Sea bass - fillet and roasted - served with roasted potatoes and ratatouille were so good we ordered a 2nd helping. Around £10 for a main course, side and drink....considering the location, pretty good value. Only area for improvement?....waiting staff were not quite so friendly as other restaurants visited.

Excellent service. High quality. Kindly hospitality. Fantastic test. Restaurant orienteering over sea food. I will recommend them amazing starters. Good and not expensive food. Unique and very tasty food Located on the beach of Varna, the restaurant creates a relaxing atmosphere and makes you clean the atmosphere of the warm Caribbean nights. Foods are for every taste.

If you adore both El Caribe and Mediterranean but succeeded to be in Varna, Bulgaria, the magic EL KAPAN is opening its arms to hold you in an unforgettable hug. A large golden beach washed by the calm sea is smoothly passing to a vast decking with numerous cosy tables under beads of countless light bulbs, offering enough place for eating and dancing. Parties may be on pause, but not in EL KAPAN! The menu is rich of tastes from both old and new worlds and features essential-feeling delicious dishes found across cultures, made with Mediterranean and Caribbean ingredients that El Kapan wanted to spotlight and demystify for a broad audience. You may taste local produce of finest quality, fresh mussels and fish brought directly from the sea just hours before being served to you. Traditional recipes are reimagined, imported delicacies live happily with local gems in large and nice looking dishes. Service is impeccable and consistent. Prices are pretty moderate for Bulgaria and much cheaper then in Europe. A reservation is advisable but the owners are so nice that no one will be left outside. It is the tastiest place in my home town and the unique COVID answer to my insatiable hunger for travelling offering the atmosphere and food from three worlds. Do not miss. Will heavily return!

Sitting on the beach, surrounded by a fresh Caribbean atmosphere, tasting a glass of Bulgarian wine, or an Italian Amarone, eating seafood, or a juicy grilled tomahawk, listening to salsa music, which actually I don’t like but it matches perfectly with the dinner, enjoying a sangria, or a caipirinha as a desert, while the ladies are having a carrot and a chocolate cake, joking with the friendly ladies serving our table. Do I need anything else from a beach restaurant in Varna? No I don’t. It is just perfect!

We've went here for dinner. The seafood was excellent (tried the tuna and some paella style seafruits) with white sangria. Staff was nice and the place looks great (had sitting in the second floor). Definitely worth it.
