Plitvice Lakes National Park

Known for its crystal clear turquoise lakes, Plitvice Lakes National Park is a beautiful natural gem in the Karst region of Croatia. Named the third best National Park in Europe, the park is filled with a series of waterfalls, cascades and turquoise lakes that are interspersed with forest and rocky canyons. The lakes were formed over millions of years as calcium carbonate rich water wore down the limestone underneath.

Lake
Kozjak is the largest lake in Plitvice Lakes National Park, offering clear waters and picturesque surroundings. The Upper Lakes, including Proscansko jezero, Ciginovac, Okrugljak, and others, are situated on impermeable dolomite rock with larger and gentler shores. On the other hand, the Lower Lakes like Milanovac and Gavanovac were formed in permeable limestone substrate with steep cliffs.
A very nice place here at the Plitvice lakes. If you make the big tour you will cross the lake by boat after walk till the Gate 1, from where you can continue by bus till gate 2.
Robert Patruna — Google review
(Translated by Google) Although the weather conditions are not the best, even with the ongoing snowfall the color of the lake is truly incredible, emerald green. I recommend the boat trip that takes you to the opposite shores. (Original) Sebbene le condizioni climatiche non siamo delle migliori, anche con la nevicata in atto il colore del lago è davvero incredibile, verde smeraldo. Consiglio la gita in battello che vi porta dalle sponde opposte.

(Translated by Google) Kozjak Lake is part of the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia. During the sightseeing route, the program includes a boat crossing to the other side of the lake for further sightseeing. Beautiful areas, picturesque landscapes are the assets of the Plitvice Lakes. When in Croatia, you really need to see it. (Original) Jezioro Kozjak wchodzić w skład Jezior Plitvickich w Chorwacji .

Mentioned on 
Located near Veliki Slap, Supljara Cave offers a unique experience for visitors to Plitvice Lakes. The cave can be accessed from the top or bottom, with an 80-meter climb on rocky trails and narrow, often damp stairs. Sturdy footwear is recommended as you can walk through and even climb within the cave. While it's a short diversion from the lower lakes trail, it provides a beautiful view of the lower lakes.
Beautiful. Expensive to enter the park. But your a tourist so who cares. Take a day or two to walk around and see it all
Jean-Noel Howell — Google review
The cave provides an interesting side diversion from the lower lakes trail and will take about 10-15 minutes of your time. It can be accessed from either the top or the bottom. Keep in mind it is an 80m climb on a combination of rocky trail and stairs which are quite narrow and often damp so take care especially with children.

The Caves of Barać, located 6km from Village Rakovica and near the Plitvice Lakes National Park, have been open to the public since 1892. This natural attraction offers guided tours through its prehistoric stalactites and stalagmites, providing a unique opportunity to explore its geological formations and archaeological discoveries. While once containing human remains from World War I and II, today visitors can admire the impressive rock formations within the caves.
Beautiful cave, we saw some bats also and Filip/Philipp was an awesome tour guide, very knowledgeable 👌🏽 We had bit more than 1hour tour, and it costs 60kuna in low season per adult. Almost 200m long cave. I really enjoyed it!

It was a great experience. We went there with a family, it’s not a long cave, easy for the kids. The guide was very good, not in a rush, explained everything. When we were there - there were a problem with electricity, so there was no light inside caves, but they gave everyone flashlights and helmets. It was even more romantic experiece. Must visit if you are in Pivitze.

The cave itself is not a spectacular experience. It's nice, nothing more. It's the tour guides that make it really interesting with their stories and jokes. The area below the cave entrance is pretty lovely for picnicking and just spending some relaxing time under the shades of the wood. The wifi is available and free.
Bojana Radosavljevic — Google review
A must do if you find yourself in the area! It's only about a 20 minute drive from Plitvice Lakes National Park, and is well worth the trip. Tours into the cave are guided (which we didn't realize), and it seems like they do them as they have enough people. We had to wait about 10 minutes for our tour to start, but it looks like it could be as much as a half hour. Our guid was great- very informative and humerus. He answered all the questions that came up from the group we were in, and pointed out a lot of historical and geological facts. The caves were fascinating to see and well worth the short drive.
Kevin — Google review
A huge cave with a history that comes back before of our existence. You can see leftovers of each use of that cave in addition to the extraordinary stalagmites, stalactites and columns. The tour guide was very good and was following all the safety measures. In addition to that there is a great park with a lot of activities which can complimentary your expirience in the caves.

A random visit but pleasant visit. Can’t take dogs on guided tour of caves but there is a place to leave your dog should you wish. Guided tour takes 45mins. Our dog isn’t a fan of being left so luckily there are 3 lovely woodland trails to walk for free. Quiet and well marked the walks range from 20mins, 1 hour to the 3 hour walk. Very new and well maintained area with new toilet facilities there, as well as ample parking space.

Restaurant
Lička Kuća is a restaurant near the Plitvice Lakes National Park that serves traditional meat-based meals. The food was fine, the prices were ok, and the staff were friendly. However, the seats in the terrace were not operational due to clouds, so I wished I had sat outdoors instead.
The food was really good. Staff was not particularly friendly but okay. We got a small plate of cheese and liver pate ( very strong in liver taste) at the beginning of the meal for free. The lamb under the bell had to be ordered 3h prior (so we booked 3h before our arrival) and was… just regular tasty lamb served with perfectly cooked potatoes and vegetables. The cheesecake was not a cheesecake, rather a layer cake with some plum jam, but it was still good (but not cheesecake). Still, a good place for dinner in plitvice.

The waiters are extra polite, approachable and cheerful. The ambiance is totally unique and enchanting. The food is extra tasty and juicy with praise for everything perfectly prepared and of high quality. The price is completely touristic, but considering the location and quality of everything, it totally justifies it. Definitely a must visit.

Probably one of the best restaurants in Croatia - worth to visit especially after a hike in the National Park - Peka is absolutely brilliant - service is way another league comparing to some other places - our waiter Goran is master of his profession - the atmosphere of the place is charming, warm.

After visiting Plitvice lakes we were more than ready for lunch. Almost an empty restaurant with a smiling waitress promised to have relax and good food. Reality was even better than expected. We got an appetizer- local creamy cheese with home made bread. Just perfect. We ordered beef soup with noodles, vegetables and meat. Simple, tasty, warm. We decided to have lamb. One was prepared with lentils, the other was specially baked wrapped in paper with potatoes, vegetables and drop off local plum brandy. Soooooo tasty. Add extremely friendly waitress and comfortable ambience. Prices are adequate for the locality and quality of food.

Food was fine, Ok prices, and friendly staff. I got a small welcoming dish as starter which was ok. The restaurant from inside felt like has a winter interior and I felt like I wanted to sit outdoors, unfortunately the seats in the terrace was not in service maybe because it was cloudy.

After treading the Plitvice National Park, (Second week of September 2023), hotel Bellevue staff, where we were staying suggested - us to go here. It was little far, and they offered a complimentary pick and drop. You are apprehensive first, but as soon you reach the restaurant you get good. The most amazing food. Sumptuous vegetarian options, sufficient portions. Plating is for Real. Their limited option dessert was awesome. The cheese they serve at the start leaves you asking for more, more... But look at the Interior of the restaurant . You are literally transported to the old world. Woodden, red curtains , ruggish, spears.... We were in Awe. Hospitality regal. Four people ended up with 100€, worth every penny. A visit to cherish in Croatia.

Great atmosphere, excellent food and great service. I had the stuffed gnocchi and honey cake. My partner had the traditional lamb "peka" (which you need to remember the order in advance) and "Iika soup". A great way to finish a day of intense hiking at the lakes.
Roberto Perez — Google review
My partner and I visited Lička kuća the night before we hiked the National Park. We called ahead and ordered the local specialty - lamb and veal cooked "under the bell". The veal was really good, but the lamb was overcooked for our liking (we prefer lamb pink, this was medium to well done), the sides substantial. We couldn't finish it all. The waiter was really helpful and was able to easily communicate in English, suggesting a bottle of wine for us.

Food was delicious. Lots of local options, keep in mind some of them are only available if you order in advance. Lamb wrap was excellent choice! Prices are way above the Croatian standard, so be prepared to pay the tourist fee. If you stay at any hotel nearby, there is a free car service to take you there and back.

Helpful staff, beautiful food. The place is cozy and nice. We waited long time for food, but waiters informed us about this and it's not problem, because the restaurant was almost full. The serving was perfect. Lika soup was delicious with lamb, root vegetables and potatoes and a piece of baked tomato cheese bread. Lamb cutlet with herb crust was delicious. We ordered two lambs and one of that was unfortunately undercooked. Nevertheless it was delicious and we ate everything. The honey cake was good too. Price are in the middle. Thanks for the flavors, we'll be back next time too.

Tasty food, especially local cheese and bread. Love to see meat being prepared in the fire. But especially highly appreciate staff and their outfits - they serve food to tourists / park visitors, not to opera / theater guests.

Degenija is a Croatian restaurant that features hearty regional specialties and pizzas, as well as a terrace and forest views. It's also known for its warm service and European-inspired cuisine.
The food was expertly cooked and they had some really beautiful flavor pairings. Couldn't find anything vegan but I also didn't ask, a part of me thinks the chef would have made something special because everything felt like it had love in it!

Impeccable service, and a cozy ambiance. Very cheap cocktails, so you get to taste them all. The food was sadly not on par tonight. It started well with the cheese platter as starters. The honey was amazing, but I expected a little more variation with the cheeses. The pork tenderloin was dry, and wrapped with bacon that was tough. We did love the mash and other side dishes. The grilled squid was 'sandy'. At first I thought it was the salt that I added, but then I felt sand at each bite. So I scraped it off the squid before I took a bite. The cheesecake was delicious. So still a lot to improve, but for today it was just OK. 3*

Degenija restaurant near Plitvice Lakes offers a fancy but pricier dining experience. The interior is lovely, and parking is ample. The food had its moments; schnitzel and fries were a bit oily, but the soup was tasty. Desserts, especially the cakes, were a highlight, and the pizza was good. Worth a visit if you're willing to spend a bit more.

We visited this restaurant twice during our stay near the Plitvice lakes. They really have good dishes and the service was also good. You could also notice that they renew their menu regularily and they have creative dishes beside the tradtional croatia food. We tried trout and their pasta(pljukanci & gnocchi). Both were delicous. The bruschetta with local cheese was also a highlight. What we did not really favour may be the baklava. It was too sweet, but it could be just a personal thing. All in all I would like to visit this restaurant if I come to the Plitvice Lakes again.

The best food we've had in Croatia and the best service as well. We tried most of the local specialties - gulash, grilled cheese, muckalica and they were amazing. Make a reservation! We were a company of 7 and had to wait a bit to be seated on a Monday. Totally worth the wait. Highly recommended.

I recommend the meat plate - tender and jucy meat with good seasoning and grilled trout - fresh and delicious trout, the side dishes grilled vegetable, fried potatoes are also good, I can not stop eating. :) The Pizza Vila is crispy on the round, chewy in the middle, full of stringy cheese, very good. The pancake with ice cream is that the ice cream wrapped in hot, soft pancake, like French crepe, I like it. The staff Richard is very kind, polite and patient. Excellent food, kind people, easy parking, this is the best Croatia restaurant in my mind. :)

We are here twice and we’re blown away. This maybe the best meal we have had in Croatia. I started with the cucumber salad, it was so perfectly balanced and delicious. My husband started with the Greek salad, the shaved feta was delightful. Their baklava was really good, if from the states it’s like a combo of baklava and bread pudding. Seriously, a lovely treat. Also, I’d like to comment on the staff, everyone that works here is absolutely amazing, every single person that works here is so kind, accommodating, and makes you feel like family. I highly recommend this spot. A special thank you to our server along with the owner for taking the time to show us all the cool places he’s been. We really enjoyed talking with him, he’s lead a really cool and incredibly interesting life. When we come back to Plitvice we’ll definitely be stopping in.

They only had to change the young potatoes to potatoes from the oven because of the cross contamination in the fryer. But that is completely fine!

Stopped here after half a day walk at Plitvice Lake. It has a very comprehensive menu. Food was OK. Couldn't ask for more considering the location. Service was poor, I guess partly due to how busy they were. Need to be patient with the staff and expect some attitudes. Restaurant was packed. Took quite a while to receive our food. We were rushing to finish off our meals so not to miss our coach. Would suggest not to eat here if you are not too hungry. Wait till you are back to the town area. If you plan to use the washroom, make sure you start queuing early. The queue gets very long. And I mean really long.

This restaurant was part of an excursion we took to Plitvice Lakes National Park. The lamb was on the spit and smelt incredible when we arrived. I ordered it immediately and was disappointed when it arrived cold. I thought the meat would be juicy and warm, but instead it was cold, dry and tough. Also it was very popular with tours which meant the toilets were in need of a good clean and with there only being two in the ladies, quite the wait to get in. Waiters were friendly and the atmosphere was good, very traditional restaurant but in all, not a great meal.

Restaurant Vila Velebita is a delightful spot with a casual setting, perfect for those wanting a genuine taste of Croatian countryside cooking. The "under the bell" method they employ infuses the dishes with an unmistakably rich and traditional flavor. The spit-cooked meat was a savory dream – so tender and perfectly grilled. Now, the cheese crepe? Utterly unforgettable. So delicious that it will haunt my culinary memories. I only wish we had such delights in Canada. The staff was exceptional, making our experience even more special. We were introduced to this gem by our guide David during our private Plitvice tour, and we couldn't be more grateful. The authenticity and Croatian tradition at Vila Velebita was exactly what we had hoped for and more. A visit here is an absolute must for anyone seeking a true taste of Croatia.🍖🔥🥘🥞

The waiter Igor is very attentive, sympathetic, pleasant, with a great sense of humor, he helped us navigate the menu and choose the best dishes. Everything was cooked very quickly and incredibly tasty, the presentation is also beautiful. An art object on a plate) So many thanks to the chef and applause to his professionalism. We also liked the design of the restaurant and the cozy atmosphere. Now we know exactly where to return 100%. Bravo! 👍

We were starving after 5 hours walk in the National Park and just jump to this restaurant which was in our way back to our cabin. Well, we left with very happy bellies. Ordered a meat and cheese cold plate for 2 and after a meat plate for 2. We, three, left nothing but thank you to the chef in our plates. Food is really good as well as the service. Definitely a place to go back!

Great restaurant and facility for campers and for non-campers alike. Numerous options on the menu. Friendly staff and very kid friendly.

We stopped here for dinner and had the burger and the forest mushroom risotto. The food tasted overall fine, though not perfect (the burger patty was too dry and the risotto very heavy, most probably prepared with heavy cream...). Portions were also too big for us. Prices are a bit high for a camping. Service was very friendly.

Fantastic and delicious food. Very fair prices compared to the quality, especially considering that it's a camping site. Huge portions. Would come again. We had the tuna salad, the bruschetta and calamari and everything was amazing

Surprisingly good restaurant in a camping site. Modern, spacious design. You can dine in or out. 5 minutes away from the Lakes entry number 1. Worth to divert from the main road. Free parking available on site. Nice service. Really large portions. Good fried calamari with fries at 130 kn.

Your are looking for a good restaurant in the near of Plitvice? Don’t search anymore, you have found the right address to go ! Don’t hesitate, even if it’s a camping restaurant : you will be surprise of the quality of the food as well as the service. Everything was just perfect ! We asked the waitress to taste a red wine of the region, and she advise us a Merlot which was just perfect ! We enjoyed everything : the place, the food, the wine, the service, the dessert 👌. All that for unbeatable price/quality ratio. Many thanks for this unforgettable evening. For sure we will come back next time ! 😘👍🏼🙏

A very high class restaurant situated in Plitvice Camping with excellent restaurant prices and service. Very cozy and just perfect oase for couples coming with kids. We stopped for 2 hours driving back home and decided to have a stop here. Childrens playground and pool is available too. As for campers, or people wishing to visit plitvice lakes, a very modern and cozy appartments are available. Modern showers and laundry service is offered here as well. Truly amazing place with a new touristic concept not so often found in Croatia.

Bistro
The bistro Plum is a great place to get a bite to eat in Rakovica. With its Mediterranean, European, and Croatian cuisine, it has something for everyone. The cafe also offers great cocktails - perfect for enjoying with friends after a long day of hiking or sightseeing. Plus, the outdoor seating is perfect for summer days spent lounging on the lakeshore.
A fantastic and high quality restaurant with really attentive and great staff. I had a really enjoyable meal here with all courses being amazing. A superb trout starter followed by steaks cooked and seasoned to perfection. My wife had a ribeye which arrived with a bit of theatre encased in smoke. I'm normally dubious of such things thinking they're a gimik but this wasn't. I've never tried a steak like it... stunning! My veal cutlet was also perfection, great flavour and so tender. Great wine... was sadly too full for dessert but will have to go back to try. If in the area well worth a visit. Highly recommended!

Nice setting, but completely overpriced for the quality they offer. The next door restaurant Degenija has the same prices but quality is much better! Apparently both restaurants belong to the same owner, so my advice to him: replace the cook as soon as possible!

It is part of Hotel Degenija. In the evening it was full for dinner. Luckily we had booked a table earlier since we were staying there. They were nice enough to pack veg sandwich for us in the morning which we could eat during our tour of Plitvice Park tour. During dinner we could have only salad and bruschetta since they had no other option in veg. The management should look into it. Luckily the wine was excellent. The breakfast quite good next morning. The service was fast and professional and ambience was very good. As it is there were very few restaurants in this area and it was most crowded.

Wasn't expecting such a decent meal around this area. The staff was professional and the food was tasty. Big portions for the affordable price too!

Walked in for dinner without a reservation, but staff were quick to find us a table that wouldn’t have any customers for a while so we could have our dinner. Food is a bit pricey (par for the course in the area), but portions were generous and food was really tasty! Staff were friendly and gave good wine recommendations as well. Didn’t have to wait long after ordering to get our food either!

This is a restaurant review. The trout filet was "pretty good but nothing to write home about." Lamb way too salty - I had to blend in ALL the sides, including the decoration greens and liberally splashed olive oil, to neutralize the heavy-handed salt. Mushroom gnocchi was alright. Wine was a highly recommended white, but tasted thin on my palate. And the "toasted rolls" appetizer turned out to be vegetarian egg rolls which, to a Chinese, is good but not amazing. Desserts were good, and the chocolate mousse was a standout. This restaurant is attached to a high-end hotel, and the ambience is decidedly white glove. The food did not stand up to the aspirations of the establishment. The waiter we had was exceptional.

We stayed for a week in Croatia, visiting Dubrovnik, Split and Plitvice National Park & Lakes. We enjoyed some lovely food during our trip but our dinner at Plum was by far our favourite. Everything we had was super delicious and beautifully presented. My husband said the dessert (Lemon merigue tart) was the best dessert ever. The service we received from host Dragan was first class - professional And friendly. Would love to visit again and thoroughly recommend this restaurant : x

Lovely bistro with delicious food. Prices are quite reasonable considering the high standard. Started with a sharing platter with excellent cheeses and meats. The main course a butterflied trout, was fabulous, very tasty and fresh. Had the lemon Tarte as desert, which was also really good. Recommended!
