Mekici and family lunches

About Oreov Lad

Oreov Lad (‘the walnut’s shade’) is where Skopje families go for a long weekend lunch: a big menu of Macedonian dishes, a garden and a playground to keep children happy. It is also known for mekici, the fried dough eaten for breakfast with cheese or jam. Our advice: best by car or taxi; book ahead for Sunday lunch.
