Came here for the first time last week and honestly the food hit the spot. Got the grilled chicken and it was juicy, not dry at all. Place was pretty busy but the staff still managed to check on us a couple times. Wish the portions were a bit bigger though. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The homemade beer was solid &mdash; went for the dark one and it hit the spot. Staff left me alone until I needed them, which I appreciated. Good spot for a pint after work.

The Vranec here goes down real smooth with the food. Cozy little place, nothing fancy, but the traditional dishes are solid.

Came here on a national holiday when most places were shut. Waiter kept checking on us, meat was properly grilled, salad fresh. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area.

The room was clean and modern, exactly like the photos. Owner replied quickly when I messaged about check-in. Free parking nearby saved us some hassle. Bed was firm but comfortable, I slept well. Only thing, the walls were a bit thin, heard hallway noise in the morning. Still, decent spot for the price.

Nice little terrace, right on the water. Caesar salad and veggie burger were actually better than I expected. Staff friendly too. Nothing fancy but it worked for a quick lunch. 👍

Stopped by for lunch and tried their vegan option &mdash; they made us something off-menu without making a fuss. Really liked the roasted peppers, they had that smoky taste you don&rsquo;t get everywhere. Place is small and family-run, felt pretty cozy. Only thing is we waited a bit longer than expected, but the food made up for it. Would come back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

Came back three times in two days &mdash; that says it all. The food is rich and hearty, exactly what you want on a cold day. Staff actually helped us pick from the menu, which was nice.

The lamb and veal roast were really good, and &euro;49 for four people felt super fair. We left stuffed and happy. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Came here for a quick lunch, got the raw plate. Pretty interesting stuff, fresh and light. Place was quiet when I walked in, service was chill. Not too pricey for what you get. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped by for burek and it was really good. Pastry was flaky, not greasy at all. Meat filling had decent flavor, juicy enough. Got a side of ayran which balanced it nicely. Place is basic, nothing fancy, but the food speaks for itself. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The Macedonia burger was solid. Big patty, good flavor, and the price is right. Had to wait a bit for it, but I&#39;d grab it again.

Lovely little place tucked in the old town. We sat on the garden terrace, which was really nice. Pizza came out hot and the crust was just right. Staff were on top of things even though it was packed. Only thing is it got a bit loud as the evening went on, but that&#39;s fine. Would go back.

Came here for lunch last week. Food was solid, traditional stuff, and they don&#39;t skimp on portions. But the smoking inside got to me. Hard to enjoy the meal properly with all that smoke in the air. If you can handle that, it&#39;s a decent spot for a hearty meal.

Tried the Smokey Cheeseburger for the first time&mdash;really solid. The fresh juice was a nice touch too. Place is easy to miss but worth stopping by.

Solid pizza, fresh bread. Curry chicken was decent but the rice came out too sweet for me. Place was busy at lunch, took a while to get the bill. Nothing fancy but I&#39;d eat here again if I&#39;m in the area.

Food was good and prices fair, but the smoke smell kept drifting over from the smoking area. Took a while to get menus and the bill, so be patient if you&#39;re in a hurry.

The bean stew was honestly the highlight&mdash;so hearty and full of flavor. Meatballs were decent, not the best I&rsquo;ve had around here, but they hit the spot. Service got a bit chaotic once it filled up, staff looked swamped. Still, the old-school vibe makes it a fun spot to hang with friends 😊

Bread was the best part. Fresh, warm, proper. Had a solid meal, nothing fancy but it hit the spot. Waiter was fine, quick enough. Place gets a bit smoky from the kitchen though. Wouldn&#39;t call it a must-visit, but if you&#39;re nearby and hungry, it works.

The beefsteak La Porta with the three skewers was solid &mdash; meat was juicy and the seasoning was on point. The Porta burger was good too, decent size for the price. Sitting right by the lake is a bonus, though you pay a bit extra for that view. Not the cheapest spot in Ohrid, but fair for what you get.

Solid spot for a quick bite and a beer. Sports on the tvs, decent vibe. Food was fine for the price. Service dragged a bit though, took a while to get the bill. Not a big deal if you&#39;re not in a hurry. Would hit it again for a game.

The pizza was solid and sitting outside made it better. My carbonara though&mdash;too greasy and the pasta was way overcooked. Stick to the simpler stuff here.

The octopus salad was properly done, tender and well seasoned. Bread came out hot too. Prices are a bit steep for what you get, but the food quality holds up.

The fried platter still hits the spot&mdash;real onion rings, not that frozen stuff. Plenty for two with beers. I keep coming back for it.
