Restaurants romantiques Plitvice Lakes: Top 3 Places to Eat in 2026
ENJOY A ROMANTIC DINNER AT PLITVICE LAKES
Plitvice Lakes, located between Zagreb and Zadar, provide a naturally breathtaking and romantic setting. Although the region is not especially known for fine dining, we have found a handful of restaurants with a charming – and in some cases truly romantic – atmosphere.
Plitvice Etno Garden
Plitvice Etno Garden is located just a short distance from Entrance 3 to the National Park. After a day exploring the spectacular Plitvice Lakes, unwind in the lounge bar before enjoying a romantic dinner under the stars.
This is a particularly special place where you can even dine while watching the sunset.
The menu showcases traditional Croatian cuisine, including several wood-fired specialities, and you can finish your meal with a local liqueur or Croatian brandy. While the menu focuses mainly on meat dishes, there are also good vegetarian options available.
Restaurant Jezero
Located just 300 metres from the emerald-green waters of Lake Kozjak, the restaurant at Hotel Jezero enjoys one of the best locations in the area.
The hotel’s signature restaurant offers peaceful views of the surrounding woodland, while the lobby bar and outdoor terrace overlooking the lakes are equally inviting, serving a wide selection of drinks and desserts.
The restaurant’s menu features regional specialities prepared with ingredients from the Lika region, many of which are certified with the Lika Quality label, making it an excellent choice for both food lovers and gourmet enthusiasts.
Grand Lakes Restaurant
If you’re looking for a more casual alternative, Grand Lakes Restaurant is an excellent pizzeria located just a short distance from Restaurant Jezero.
