Evenings with a character.
Each evening follows one kitchen, one region or a few bottles. The menu is written for that night and never repeated.

Good food. Thoughtful wine.
Good company.
Hedonist Society brings people together over food, wine and the pleasure of an evening shared. We welcome guests to The Maison, our home in Sofia, and arrange private gatherings with personal attention to every detail.
— About us —
We love feeding people. We cook with the season, open bottles worth talking about, put music on and let the evening run longer than planned. We host at The Maison, our home in Sofia, and we cook wherever we are invited.
— Liya and Kaloian

In small company.
The table seats twelve, sometimes eight. Enough for one conversation, small enough to leave knowing everyone.
III
In Sofia, at home.
Most evenings happen at The Maison, our home in Sofia. Sometimes we cook in our guests' homes or somewhere they have chosen.

Liya and Kaloian.
Partners in life, and in this.
We're Liya and Kaloian — partners in life and the people behind Hedonist Society. We're not chefs or restaurateurs, but hosts who live in Sofia. It began the way our favourite evenings begin: a table laid at home, a bottle worth talking about, and friends who stayed longer than planned.
Liya looks after the atmosphere and makes sure everyone feels at home. Kaloian looks after the wine and the conversation. We gather ideas while travelling and bring them back to the table in Sofia.
Hedonist Society is our invitation to share this with people who love the same things.
