Mavrovski Merak
Мавровски Мерак
A family-run rustic restaurant by Lake Mavrovo, where roast pork ribs and slow-cooked stews are the top draws, with lake views.
Located on the lakeside road in Mavrovo village, this rustic restaurant has a wooden interior, with Lake Mavrovo visible through the windows. It is family-run and known for its meat dishes. Reviews most often name the 1 kg grilled pork ribs, grilled cheese, meat pie with sour cream, beef soup and porcini stew. The signature dessert is tufahija, a dessert of apple and walnut. Portions are large, prices are fair, and local wine is available. It is often full on weekends and in summer, so reservations are recommended; service slows at busy times. Around 600-1000 Macedonian denars per person; you need a car to get there.
