Macedonia

Restaurants in Macedonia

  1. Dom na Armiya

    For something different, the Army House is a classic communist café, unchanged since Tito took holidays at Ohrid. The waiters in ageing tuxedos refused to divulge the telephone numbers to this foreign spy, but subterfuge helped me get the opening hours.

    Restaurant Antiko

    This traditional place, located in an old Ohrid house, is one of the most popular restaurants in town, although it's rather pricey. Special warning: if you want to eat Macedonian specialities, you have to order them three hours in advance.

    Restaurant Sveti Sofia

    Classy bistro just uphill from the Sveti Sofia church, with a wide range of modern and traditional Macedonian dishes. The view from the terrace onto the ancient church is the very soul of Ohrid.

  4. Restaurant Kaj Maršalot

    A life-size cardboard cutout of Tito cheerily raises his glass as you enter this bizarre socialist-themed restaurant where, according to the advertising, 'proletarians as well as the capitalists feel the equality of the transition'.

    Among the communist posters and busts, our leading English-speaking revolutionaries Bob Marley and John Lennon smile down benignly, exhorting us simultaneously to 'Get Up Stand Up' and 'Let It Be'. Surely 'imagine no possessions' would be a more appropriate slogan for the latter, especially given that McCartney was responsible for the laid-back lyric they've chosen. There's no such confusion with the food, which is wonderfully authentic…

  5. Harmonija

    This hard-to-find restaurant provides a full menu of fantastic vegetarian food including a wonderful macrobiotic platter. It's located in the Skopjanka mall, a motley collection of run-down shops a block east of the station, on the left past the first street. The restaurant's yellow sign points down a set of stairs that juts out into the footpath next to a florist.

    Destan

    Situated at the back of the shopping centre on the ground floor, Destan serves kebaps (barbequed meat rolls) with delicious grilled Turkish bread, raw onion and hot peppers.

    Restoran Neim

    Check out the local characters at this working man's hangout about 100m west of the old plane tree, and try some delicious moussaka or polneti piperki (stuffed peppers).

    The food is excellent in this upmarket Italian eatery, which takes its name from the waterwheel in its romantic garden.
