A fine establishment that you cannot miss from the road up to Matka Canyon. Only a small interior section of the is actually inside a cave. Most of the seating areas are located outside on a slanted concrete floor. The food is mostly tasty grilled meat, salads and other local fare. the grilled mushrooms are stunningly good. Perfectly salted and cooked. Veal was average. The ice cream was mediocre. The best part about this is the stunning view of the river and canyon. The worst part has to be the smelly duty toilet. I wish I could round up to a four star, but the toilet really scarred me for life. A wonderful experience in the Monastery Cave in Matka. A large terrace for dining or you can dine in the cave, we opted for the outdoors to enjoy the view of the gorge, alongside the water feature. The is located just on the main road by Treska river, just a short walk from the dam. The staff was lovely, and the food was cooked to order and very fresh. We enjoyed a simple salad of cucumber, which was delicious, followed by traditional grilled meats and our favourite village meat with vegetables, one of the best yet. A great selection of meal choices and wine available, primarily traditional Macedonian food. Finished our lunch with ice cream, which was a huge portion! Recommend Monastery Cave restaurant, for the level of service, great views, incredible food, and excellent value for money. Beware this is the same as the "The Macedonian Cave Restaurant". They are the same place. There are two listings on Google Maps for this one restaurant. I recommend checking the reviews of the other listing to see more. The food was not and the service was OK for us, but the waiter/owner was very hostile to others. Do not mention you want to use the toilet. That's was the trigger for him to be rude and shoo off people looking for a table. food, very friendlly staff ready to help and give suggestions for best food for the day. We had chicken and pork on barbique, I was having fish, the kids loved the pool with and we catch one for my lunch. zuccini on barbique, fresh salads Shopska, mixed fresh salad.Good for kids, small kitens. We have been seated in the highest therase far from the street. Only the toilets need to be renewed, they are clean but old. For love couples there are romantic place in the cave. to visit and it's not a tourist trap. Quite big with local cuisine. Broad selection of grilled food and salads. Menu is offered in 3 languages (Macedonian, English and Albanian). Friendly service. Great location near the river. Just pity that they are not partner of MyWorld cashback program... The food is delicious and presented perfectly. Service is friendly and I feel the prices are fair. There are amazing views with a remarkable atmosphere. After hiking the canyon, stop here and enjoy a delicious meal. Delicious food in a location right above the river and 5 minutes from the main attractions in Matka. The food was delicious and with reasonable prices. The atmosphere was nothing special but still a restaurant. The server was kind as well. Who treats their guests badly Tek yıldız bile fazla bu firmaya. Gelen misafirlere oldukça saygısız. Yaşlıya saygı yok. Önünden bile geçmeyin. ****** Even one star is too much for this company. They are very disrespectful to the guests. There is no respect for the elderly. Don't even pass by. Мало приштрокаво али је амбијент врхунски. Do not go here if you are a tourist or want decent food. Rude experience from the wait staff. First, the food was just not - all was bland. The Monastery Cutlet was extremely tough, it was like cutting through a golf ball and the sauce was just a bland mess. The pork earthen pot was ok, pork was tough and the vegetables bland even though they were covered by an okay sauce. thing there are stray cats nearby to feed the terrible food to, they seem to be living well off from the scraps the customers feed them because the food is below par (the mom and the dad cats have babies! Congrats!). To end the meal was another disappointment because once the waiter sees that you are a tourist, he WILL expect a tip. He didn’t even ask the Macedonian locals for a tip next to us but when it was time to pay our bill, he expected a tip which I said no. He then made a huge commotion like it was expected for us to tip and made angry gestures. Don’t even bother spending money at this establishment and supporting their business. Amazing location, nice atmosphere!! If youre looking to stop by somewhere when visiting Matka, I’d say this is it!! Loved having a beer and fries here :). Fast service as well. The salads were quite small in portion as a note. Не ѝ дозволија на обичната постара жена да влезе во местото на настанот и насилно ѝ го зедоа столчето. Побаравме пијалок, а тие не ѝ го дадоа и ја натераа да излезе од местото со викање. Total freundliche Bedienung und gutes Essen! :) Nepříjemná obsluha a přepočet na Eura hodně nevýhodná. Už nikdy!!!!!!! Horrible experience, we ordered and we got old, bad and rothen decaying fish! Worst part is the attitude of the staff who without even investigating said the is and there is no problem, we should eat it. We just had the check and left - not even an apology on their behalf. We were lucky enough to spot and smell the bad fish, otherwise would have been really sick. Stay away from this horrible place - bad food, bad people! To bardzo złe miejsce, nie wolno korzystać z toalety bez jedzenia Воопшто не ми се допадна услугата, многу груби луѓе.
