Azahar — Bringing Spain’s Heritage to Your Table
Bringing Spain’s Heritage to Your Table
Since 2012, Azahar has been a destination in Sofia for lovers of authentic Spanish cuisine. In November 2025 we opened a new chapter: an expanded restaurant with an enclosed, non-smoking garden designed for comfort, warmth and year-round dining.
Our philosophy has always been rooted in authenticity. We import our key ingredients directly from Spain, so every dish carries the true character of its origin — from the jamón of César Nieto, a family renowned for some of Spain’s finest cured meats, to our award-winning extra virgin olive oil, ranked first for several consecutive years.
Cooked in a Spanish Horno Moruno
Our most treasured addition is a Maestro Jumaco oven, handcrafted by Spanish artisans with more than 130 years of tradition. Its classic horno moruno design cooks evenly and deeply, revealing the true flavors and aromas of every ingredient.
Most of our dishes come to life inside it, where steady heat and artisan craft work in harmony. Ingredients transform slowly and patiently: flavors deepen, textures soften, and every plate carries the soulful taste of fire and craft.
Segovian Suckling Pig
Whole roasted cochinillo in the style of Segovia, the Spanish region celebrated for centuries of mastery of this dish. Each piglet is imported directly from Segovia and slow-roasted in our Maestro Jumaco oven: tender, velvety meat beneath delicately crisp skin.
Alfonso Maestro, sixth-generation owner of Hornos Jumaco Maestro, joined us for the reopening of Azahar in November 2025.

A Spanish tradition in the Heart of Our Kitchen
We proudly present one of our most valued additions: the Maestro Jumaco oven, crafted by Spanish artisans with over 130 years of tradition. This iconic horno moruno design is renowned for its ability to cook evenly and deeply, revealing the true flavors and aromas of every ingredient.
For our guests, this means juicier textures, authentic aromas, and a distinctive golden finish — a level of quality achievable only with a genuine handcrafted oven. The gentle embrace of its heat brings a homemade essence to our food, echoing the warmth of traditions. Every bite carries the subtle, soulful flavor of fire and craft — a taste that feels both familiar and truly unforgettable.
Alfonso Maestro – sixth-generation “Hornos Jumaco Maestro” owner during Azahar reopening - November, 2025
Building upon this tradition, most of our dishes are brought to life within the Maestro Jumaco oven, where steady heat and artisan craft work in harmony. It is here that ingredients transform — slowly, patiently — allowing flavors to deepen, textures to soften, and aromas to unfold with natural elegance.
Our signature creation is the whole roasted suckling pig, prepared in the revered style of Segovia, a region of Spain celebrated for its centuries-old mastery of “cochinillo.” We import each piglet directly from Segovia, ensuring the authenticity of this iconic recipe: tender, velvety meat encased in a delicately crisp skin.
