Nirvana Gourmet Restaurant $$$
( 300 127; ul Nezavisinost 25; mains 11-23 lv; )
For those seeking relatively elegant
international dining, it's worth the 10-minute drive to the lonely quarter where this res-
taurant exists above the eponymous hotel. The so-called 'gourmet' Nirvana does more
sophisticated grills and Italian fare (try the rich pasta carbonara) than usual for Shumen,
and there's a long wine list.
