Top choice in Pristina


It's well worth taking a taxi to get to this gorgeous place 7km north of Pristina. Indeed, it truly lives up to its name, with a superb location and wonderful views from its shady hill-side terrace. Food is some of the best traditional fare you'll find (try the tava – veal in a creamy yogurt sauce served in a clay pot).

This is an option for a long and relaxed weekend meal with friends or family, and not somewhere for a quick pit stop. Each dish is prepared from scratch, so you can expect to spend several hours here.
