Distrikt — Restaurant in Municipality of Centar

My worst experience in Macedonia so far. I have travelled to Macedonia for many years and I have dined at a variety of establishments, however I have never had such a negative experience as I did at Distrikt (part of the Marriott hotel).

Me and my family sat down for dinner and when I ordered drinks, the waiter Marijan who is the supervisor insisted that we ordered a cheese and meat board. We declined and he insisted, so I quite clearly asked for a small board. He returned with a large board and charged 1900MKD for this. This was clearly a con so that he can make more money out of us. I was forced to accept a large board when I didn’t even want it yet his attitude was pressurising and he insisted that we needed it despite me saying no.

Marijan refused to provide tap water and stated that he would only provide a bottle.

Marijan continued to be persistent and pressured us in to purchasing more items and we had to keep refusing. He was quite inappropriate when speaking to female members of our family to the point they wanted to leave. I am shocked at this and I have had the worst experience ever. Marijan conned me out of my money by forcing me to accept expensive food that I did not order.

I will never return to Distrikt and I would highly recommend not visiting this place as they are clearly intent on grabbing as much money as they can for you. Both tourists and locals are likely to receive this negative experience especially if Marijan Pavlovski is your waiter. This is my first one star review for any establishment in Macedonia and as a seasoned traveller I would recommend one avoids this place.

I have kept all receipts and...

Ridiculous amounts of steak - bad service

The starters were nice. The atmosphere is good. We then had t-bone steak for our main course. I was shocked to have gotten such a big piece of a meat. It ended up being 1250grams for two people. My steak probably somewhere around 900g. The price goes per kilogram. So bigger steaks - higher price I am big and eat a lot. That was just disgusting. I couldnt even eat half of the steak. We told the waiter that it was good but it was way too much meat. We got a cold and passive agressive "that was the smallest piece we had" Sorry. 1kg of meat after some starters - you can not expect anyone to eat that amount of food. A basic google search reveals that T bone steaks are usually around 600 grams and good for two people. And i got 900grams alone?!

If you dont have appropriately sized meat pieces you should tell the customer. Its a lot of money we pay for food we cannot eat. Service : 0 stars. Not far...

An excellent place to enjoy your breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner! We (2 adults and two children) had both breakfast and dinner at this place and we were impressed by the professionalism and fast service its staff exhibited. Its non smoking area makes it a very rare finding nowadays, and also a valuable feature for families with kids. The ambience and decoration were very elegant and the food was both reasonably priced and of high quality. There is an abundance of food choices (both contemporary and local cuisines) and a variety of hot and cold beverages to choose from and cover every taste. Well done, Distrikt! We are definitely coming back! (Jan. 2023) Jan. 2024.. and once more we are back to this lovely place for breakfast. Once again it didn't disappoint us with its top quality food and fine dining ambience. Staff were professionals as usual. 5 stars...
