Pod Rastockim Krovom

Located in the heart of water village Rastoke (100km from Zagreb, 30km from National park Plitvice) surrounded by the rivers Korana and Slunjcica, tavern "Pod Rastockim krovom" offers homemade cooking based on traditional recipies. We offer local specialties such as "proja"(special bread from 5 types of grain - corn, rye, mullet, barley and wheat) and polenta. We also offer fresh trout from our fish pond (in many ways), fresh soups, homemade noodles/gnocchi, various salads, meat and vegetarian dishes, pancakes, doughnuts, strudal and much more. After a nice meal we recommend a walk on our property where you can see 3 biggest Waterfalls in Rastoke named Buk, Vilina kosa and Hrvoje, mill from the 18th st., traditional washing mashine, Winnetou totem, ethno collection and a cave. We are excited to welcome you to our small piece of nature heaven.

If you can go even little of your route to visit Rastoke, it’s worth it. Pleasant staff, great food and surrounding to calm you mind and soul. My recomandation is smoked trout salad, it’s a meal, not a starter or a side dish.

We went kayaking in thee most incredibly clean water. The setting... incredibly clean turquoise water, breathtaking cliffs, Forests and Waterfalls. Coupled with jumping off little cliffs into the water. We had so much fun trying to kayak together after doing a few circles but going down the Waterfalls was exhilarating and well controlled by our guide. I would highly recommend this company for their professionalism.

Restaurant Pino

Reviewed By Gnoleeg - Geelong, Australia

What's with the service industry in Croatia? Everyone is grumpy, terse and unhappy.
Anyway....this place was recommended to us, probably by the owner's cousin. Food was fair, but so much was unavailable. Our first three requests from there menu was met with a "we don't have that." How about a "sorry, we don't have that. Try the....." or tell us up front what is and what isn't available.
Even our first drink from their menu met the same response, "no, we don't have."
Would never return, until they care about their customers.

Feniks

Reviewed By gabymak - Miami, Florida

After visiting Plitvice National Park, we headed towards a highly recommended restaurant, and sadly, it happened to be closed for that evening. Reviews weren't very good of any of the nearby places and we backtracked and decided to stop at Feniks because when passing it, we noticed there were many cars in the parking lot (lots of customers is "usually" a good sign) and it was conveniently located right off the main road. Turns out, the food was quite mediocre, tasteless and probably the worst meal we had in all of Europe (5 countries) that we traveled! We had soup, fried calamari, fish, chicken - all very disappointing. The prices were not in line with the cheap quality of food, service was good and English spoken, but it feels very much like a "tourist trap" type of place. We did find out the reason for all the cars - they were hosting a wedding reception.
