I’d never have found this restaurant if it wasn’t for the online reviews and recommendations, and feel the need to add my own since it’s a superb place and one of the highlights of my trip to the city. It’s not in the immediate centre so it’s unlikely you’d wander past, but it’s an easy walk from any of the main locations. The interior is incredible. Feeling really authentic and traditional, with a water feature in the centre, it’s both comfortable and memorable.Arriving late afternoon I had free choice of almost any table but each of them are large and there’s not going to be a case of feeling cramped here. The member of staff allocated to my table was incredible. While remaining friendly and professional he recommended both super wine options and meal dishes, each of which was perfect. I was surprised to get the bottle of wine decanted through an aerator into my glass and was kept topped up proactively throughout the meal. The menu has a great range of items, but by using the QR code on the table you can also see photos of each dish, in case there’s any confusion; there’s free wifi offered to do this. Food portions were large and arrived quickly and gosh, what wonderful dishes they were! The veal carpaccio starter was really tasty with loads of salad and shavings of cheese. But the winning dish had to be the pork ribs, which smelt divine and is easily the best pork I’ve ever had. Unfortunately my schedule didn’t let me visit again, which was a shame as I’d love to return with it being easily the best meal I had in the city! A must visit in my mind!

Old exterior , the side of the building looked like it’s close as the side doors are closed shut and tried the front. Beautiful interior of water feature, garden section. Red house wine which was Macedonian was good. Dolmades was average. The vine leafs were not holding the meat pieces in, the meat was not too gamey and was ok. The breaded green pepper with cheese was good, wasn’t too cheesey or too oily The grilled porcini mushrooms was good. Tasted like a supplement for meat. Was just oily, other could have been a great dish. The salad was large and could be shared by two tomatoes and cucumbers chunky, strips of green pepper , onion and shreaded goats cheese A salad and three starter was too much. Service was good, had a language misunderstanding with the order as asked about dishes and ended up turning up- should ask the waiter to repeat the order ya the end.

What a wonderful location, food, atmosphere and staff! We spent a week around Skopje and had the pleasure to dine at this restaurant a few times and it never disappointed us! It is a true gem of Macedonian food and tradition, located in an original wooden style local house, converted in a beautiful restaurant. There's also a very good music entertainment, not sure if it's only at the weekend or holiday time, but it was great! Food is very tasty and very well presented and the staff is very attentive and helpful! The only thing you need to be aware of is that they smoke inside, but it's the same in anywhere, as in Macedonia you can still smoke inside locals. If I was ever to go back to Skopje, I would definitely visit again this restaurant!

We spent our last night out in Macedonia here in this restaurant as a group of friends. We ordered mastika, it was a bit milder than Turkish raki and didn’t have much anise flavor. Pastrmalija is very similar to “Turkish pide with meat”, it was quite big portion but good enough to share as two persons. All the other dishes we ordered to share was perfectly prepared and delicious. It looks simple but bread sticks were everyone’s favorite with sauces to dip. In the end rose shaped Apple dessert was a mild and refreshing finish. All of us was very satisfied in the end. Staff was kind and helpful through the night. The decorations and the restaurant itself was very pretty too. We paid 6170mkd for everything.

In terms of food, this place is top-notch. I had the grilled vegetables that were done to perfection, and the chicken soup that comes with a loaf of fresh bread. Both portions were quite generous and extraordinarily delicious. In addition, the people that work there are very upbeat and professional. I truly appreciate their demeanor. The only complaint I have about this restaurant is that it does not have a walled-off area for non-smokers. Tobacco smoke is very irritating to my eyes and respiratory system, as it is for many people. Why should we be forced to harm ourselves with their bad choices, when all we really want is to have a good meal? It just doesn't seem fair.

Absolutely outstanding local dinner! Forget all the internet nomad top 10 restaurants in the center of Skopje—100% of the online recommendations we had were overpriced mediocre meals. The dolmas with yogurt and pepper sauce was a very satisfying start, and the vegetable stew was perfectly seasoned. The beef stroganoff in a bread boat was a unique and delicious twist (I ate all of the stew and the whole bowl), and the apple strudel was so irresistible that we each ordered a second one—not too sweet, just right! The ambiance is charming, and the service is top-notch. Without a doubt, the best restaurant in Skopje for quality traditional food. Highly recommended!
