Debar Maalo
Дебар Маало
Skopje's most lively dining district, where old houses are filled with traditional taverns and cafés. It is a favourite of locals for meals and gatherings.
Debar Maalo lies northwest of the city centre. It retains many two-storey houses that predate the earthquake, and its streets are quiet and shaded by trees. Locals consider it the city's top food district. Traditional taverns (kafana) serve grilled meats, tavče gravče (baked white beans), shopska salad, stews and other Macedonian home-style dishes, often with live Balkan folk music, and prices are affordable. Reservations are recommended for dinner. It is about a 15-minute walk from Macedonia Square.
