Surrounded by the beauty of National Park Plitvice Lakes and appointed as an ethnological museum, restaurant Lička kuća, with its ambience and gastronomic offer, based on local ingredients, authentically revives the rich tradition of destination Lika. Built in the far 1972, it celebrates its fiftieth anniversary. Walking through the restaurant you enter a new world feeling the calming warmth of a typical Lika house, while the smells and tastes take you back to your childhood and your grandmother’s kitchen where the food was prepared manually, with local ingredients.

All the ingredients are of local origin and many of those are protected by the mark of regional quality system Lika Quality. They can all be traced from farm to table. Also, the restaurant prepares its own stocks and local cheese spread- “lička basa”, sausages, potato dumplings and even jam from local plums, without any artificial supplements. Smell of freshly baked bread, fritters and strudels baked in the own shop, along with different kinds of bread, pasta, rolls and sweets, spreads through the restaurant.

There is also a butcher’s shop in which modern techniques of processing and maturing are used. Beef rib- eye steak and rump steak are matured in controlled atmosphere, in extra virgin olive oil, at least 30 days or longer. Veal T- bone steak and tomahawk steak are retrieved from best positions of the animal. They are prepared sous vide, by adding herbs and finished on the open grill in the middle of the restaurant where the guests can take their pick.
