About me

Hi, I am probably the most curious mix of a home cook, engineer and traveler. Due to my work I travel around Europe and visit vast amount places from street food joints to Michelin star restaurants. I am born and raised in the central area of Skopje, so I'm not much versed in the great value greasy spoons at the outskirts, but I sure know all the best places where to get the best food without breaking the bank in the Skopje center.

I hope you will enjoy my selection of places, ranging from my favorite traditional kafana, to a fine dining places as well as rock pubs. Enjoy
