Incredible New Year’s feast – definitely too much food: Restaurant Lyra (31. December 2016)
The original deal for NYE was ~1’000 MKD for all you can eat and all you can drink. However, as we showed up a bit earlier than planned, we were offered the same menu and went for a bottle of “Dissan, Bovin Superior” (1’590 MKD). Given we did not participate in the evening event, it […]
Comforting Macedonian dishes and semi-attentive service: Restaurant Gostilnica Dukat (30. December 2016)
I decided to try as much as possible of the Macedonian cuisine while being in Macedonia. Therefore, I had ordered “roasted pepper, 30gr” (30 MKD), “cheese prepared in traditional wood fired oven, 130gr” (100 MKD) as well as “stuffed sauerkraut rolls (sauerkraut, rice, minced meat), 120gr” (60 MKD). Unfortunately, the timing didn’t work out entirely. […]

If you want to have the real local experience you definitely have to try the Destan in the old city. The place is basically a grill restaurant which serves – not sure if exclusively – cevapcici. At least that is what my friend had recommended me to try. And I went for the “10 Cevapcici” […]
Great lounge but late lunch service: Executive Lounge @ Marriott Skopje Hotel (29. – 31. December 2016)
The Executive Lounge at the Marriott Skopje Hotel is one of the better lounges I have seen in hotels. It is very modern, newly furnished, and luminous. You feel comfortable right away and that feeling is enforced by the waiters and waitresses as they are very responsive, and extremely friendly. Due to New Year’s Eve […]
