What an awesome experience. The ambience is more like a high end Sydney or San Francisco restaurant, the place looks amazing! The menu was a little tricky to navigate as no English but the waitor helped and I settled on the Steak Mushroom Sauce. Incredible!!! A thick cut eye fillet, lean but falling apart, bursting with flavour! Can't wait to return on my next to trip to Banja Luka.

A new place in the city of Banja Luka has quickly became a rendezvous point for demanding people who seek only for the highest quality service, food and a sophisticated atmosphere. No matter if you want to drink your morning cappuccino or espresso while r

Reviewed By goodhikers

Agree with the other reviewers, one of the best in Banja Luka. Mostly local cuisine served with a bit of pizzazz. Reasonably priced and good selection of regional wines. Great homemade rakija--a strong, clear schnapps made from various fruits--probably the best in town. Reservations suggested as the venue is pretty small. Also, it's difficult to find unless you are very familiar with Banja Luka--use the given address and a GPS. Biggest downside: parking. Very, very difficult to find a spot nearby as most of the places are taken by the building's residents. Taxi is the best option.

Lovacki Bar

Authentic hunter lodge with vast selection of game dishes as well as international cuisine

Reviewed By goodhikers

Very few restaurants like this exist anymore in major cities in Bosnia: hunter style decor with wild game. Among the choices: wild boar, duck, venison, rabbit, wild snails, etc.We started with the Lovacka corba soup--thick, hearty venison based stew: out of this world. Main course was snails in garlic broth and venison in wine sauce. Again: excellent! Side salad a bit heavy on sauce, but tasty. Downgrade for French fries--tough. Tasted frozen. Palacinki desert good but standard fare.Bottom line: great break from the standard fare. Worth a visit!

Rijeka - Bar & Restaurant

Reviewed By NastjaR

We went on a dinner, ordered a Rijeka plate for a starter and weal steak for the main course. It was delicious, perfectly tender and nicely done. We will surely visit again. P.s. Be careful, because the stairs are very slippery in the winter, because they were iced, and my partner slipped and fell.
