Restaurants in Plitvice Lakes National Park
Hundreds of dining spots pepper the road to and from Plitvice, most offering spit-roasted lamb or pig and other local specialties. You can stop for a bite, or buy your roasted meat by the kilo and picnic in the woods. There are a few sandwich concessions within the park itself in addition to the hotel restaurants. There also used to be an excellent restaurant within the park called Lička Kuča, but sadly it burnt down in 2012.
