Degenija

Amazing food and service! Dario was super helpful with the recommendations!
Highly recommend visiting this restaurant as the prices are very reasonable compared to some of the other places we ate at that were near the park entrances. Worth a visit and drive! ✨

Thank you for the great food and experience!

We visited this restaurant twice during our stay near the Plitvice lakes. They really have good dishes and the service was also good. You could also notice that they renew their menu regularily and they have creative dishes beside the tradtional croatia food.
We tried trout and their pasta(pljukanci & gnocchi). Both were delicous. The bruschetta with local cheese was also a highlight.
What we did not really favour may be the baklava. It was too sweet, but it could be just a personal thing.
All in all I would like to visit this restaurant if I come to the Plitvice Lakes again.

The best food we've had in Croatia and the best service as well. We tried most of the local specialties - gulash, grilled cheese, muckalica and they were amazing.

Make a reservation! We were a company of 7 and had to wait a bit to be seated on a Monday. Totally worth the wait. Highly recommended.

I came here with my family, we were starving and it was genuinely some of the best food we had in Croatia.

The pasta was amazing, pizza was great. Nice outdoor/ indoor vibes, and very spacious restaurant and great for families.

Staff was helpful in selecting halal options and discussing ingredients with us.

Awesome! Best meal in Croatia thus far. Great value, great quality, great ambience, great service.

We had grilled trout, calamari, degenija pizza, gnocchi, veal and potatoes peka, orange cake, kremsnita, all were good!

Good atmosphere, excelent service. The food was also tatsy, and varied.
I gave 5 stars over-all but 4 stars for the food because the starters of cold platter and tomato soup were just OK, but we enjoyed a lot the main dishes of trout fish and pake beef. Good place!

Well Worth the Wait!

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

If you're planning to visit this restaurant, be prepared for a little wait, especially around 6 to 8 in the evening. But let me tell you, the wait is absolutely worth every minute, and there's a darn good reason why there's a line forming. This place is a gem!

From the moment you step inside, you're in for something truly exceptional. The service is top-notch, the food is beyond amazing, and the atmosphere sets the perfect vibe for a memorable dining experience.

Sure, you might find yourself standing in line for a bit, but trust me, as soon as you dig into that first bite, you'll understand why people are eager to wait. The flavors on the plate are a culinary masterpiece, a delightful dance for your taste buds that's worth the anticipation.

And let's not forget about the staff. They go above and beyond to make sure you're well taken care of. Attentive, friendly, and always ready with a recommendation, they enhance the whole dining adventure.

As for the atmosphere, it's that magical blend of cozy and vibrant. The lighting, the decor, the background music – everything is carefully curated to create an ambiance that feels just right. Whether you're having an intimate dinner for two or a fun gathering with friends, this place sets the scene beautifully.

So, yes, you might find yourself waiting in line for a bit during the popular hours, but I promise you, the experience that awaits you on the other side of that queue is more than worth it. This isn't just a restaurant; it's a destination for food enthusiasts and anyone looking to savor a remarkable evening.

The food was amazing! We had Peka - veel with potatoes and Gulasch with homemade gnocchis. The service was very friendly and the prices were appropriate. Our bottle of wine were 25€. We waited 5 minutes for our table. Highly recommended :)

Great staff, friendly, paying a lot of attention to the clients, a staff very profesional, great food, a nice and warm atmosphere, in my opinion the best place were i have eat in all Croatia, and i have visit this country from Zagreb to Dubrovnik, thanks guys for everything, for sure i will come back (we was a group of 9 person, and al agreed with me)

We tried the beef steak. The meat was delicious. The service very friendly and helpful. An advice is to make a reservation before arrival especially for dinner where a lot of people could easily make that place full although there is a big capacity of tables.

The atmosphere in the restaurant is very warm calming yet luxury and fitting of the hills in Plitvic. Would recommend the pistachio pizza and burrata pizza. Not too busy at peak times either! The chew cake is not worth it though…

What a lovely experience and good choice, very taste and good food quality, nice atmosphere, beautiful decorated, fast, friendly and professional services. Don't miss the dessert. It was divine. We were all happy!

A MUST DO place. The food, the guys, the atmosphere. Those calamari... !!!
There are also gluten free choices.
Can't wait to visit again.
Big thank you for the lovely meal!

Really big portions and food was excellent prepared. Service was fast and helpfull. Over the weekend there was a big crowd.

Absolutely incredible! Simple yet elegant dishes. The pasta we had was so fresh and home made. The trout was incredible as well! Wonderful service, especially for the price! This was a standout restaurant in the area.

Food is very nice and tasty. They must have a very good chef! The service is also good though we didn't stay at the hotel.

Probably the best restaurant in the area. Food is delicious and the service is beyond attentive. Ask for peka, but you can't miss with other dishes.

So nice!!! The inside is so pretty, and the staff was very friendly, the prices were reasonable.
Drinks were reasonably priced and so good! I got the floral gin and tonic (I believe that’s what it’s called) and it was so good, I got 2. All the food was very enjoyable, there were no complaints with any of the dishes.
For 4 people we spent about 125 USD and we got 6 drinks 1 starter and 3 dishes (including the platter which was for 2 ppl)

It was very good! We came around 19:15 and waited in the queue for around 10-15mins. When we entered, the service was relatively fast and pleasant, our waiter was very nice! We took grilled squids, pljeskavica, beers. After dinner we also took a hugo and a negroni. A nice place to have dinner at after the whole day spent in Plitvice :)

Great place for any meal. Lot of options. Huge place and food is great. It’s open all day so you can stop by anytime.
