Mekicite od Strazha in Skopje

Great and quick service. Food is freshly baked and delicious. They have a variety to chose from although theyre known for the mekici. :))Enjoy!

Very delicious and with good prices.

A great place to stop when you are on your way to Ohrid. Be aware that it can be pretty chilly up here, as it is in a mountainous area. The quality of their products remained the same even after many years of working. It can be quite difficult to find a parking spot if you are visiting in summer days.

Helpful place for a stop. Not much to add.

Delicious food and great staff.

After many years, the quality is on the same level, the place is always clean and the staff are helpful and nice.I would just recommend to them to organize a one line system, because even if they have 5 payment points, there are 5 individual lines and the waiting times can be long. I almost left today, after being third in my line, but waiting for 10+ minutes to order (the 2 guss in front of me had some issues ordering, asking many questions etc). If there was one line, I just would have switched to another cashiers amd be done in 1 minute.Anyways, do not miss to stop here if you are traveling to Skipje-Ohrid, highly recommended!

Great place to visit and eat mekica! Interior design is jazzy style and very interesting... Great balcony for hot summer days.

Fresh pastry with white cheese specific to the region.

Tasty food but not cheap at all

A great place to get some food and a coffee in the mountains of Macedonia

Nice pitstop on the way to Ohrid....

A good place to rest after a loong drive. I always stop here to eat or to drink a cup of coffee 😋

a wonderful place to rest from a long drive

Straža is a mountain pass between the cities of Gostivar and Kichevo. There are two fast food points, with the famous "mekica" - a wheat-dough donut-type snack, fried in deep oil. If you pass by, stop and try it. I always do.

The best rest place with tastiest snacks!

On half eoute from Skopje to Ohrid and vr. Provides snacks and refreshments.

Look nice in side,food is ok,like macdonian fast food but toilet is so so dirty

Although popular spot for their "mekica" its too expensive for Macedonian standards because it is located at the topmost position on th Skopje-Ohrid road. Still the quality of food is no match for the price youre paying for eating it surrounded by the scent of the pines and the fumes of passing trucks.

Beautiful place to rest and eat during your trip

Extremely high people frecvency. Higiene is very low. Low level professional profile of employees. Extremely dangerous parking positions.

A stop on the way from Ohrid to Skopje. Most buses take a stop on routes lasting longer than a couple of hours. Cafes on either side of the road for meals, snacks and drinks!

Nice place for resting but high price.

Very nice place to take a rest and have some food

The best place for quick breakfast during travel. Delicious

Crowded .. But this is ICONIC place in Macedonia and it is a must visit.. Mekica, ovcho sirence i ovcho kiselo mleko.

Place is good for take a rest from the trip but now prices are higher for same quality

Nice spot as a wayside, kindly note that "Böreks" are unbelievable, do not pass if you did not tested before

Good place to take a break between Ohrid and Skoplje. Prices are good and there is gas station nearby and another restaurant/bakery just across.

Can be a bit crowded and hard to find a table, since a lot of people are stopping here. Anyway, its worth the stop. Mekica with cheese and yogurt is a must try. After this, order a coffee to go and continue the trip :)

I always stop here too take "MEKICA" Its fine but the price is too high for it. And I must say that the last time it was so much oil in the famous MEKICA. You need to try and have a snack.

The food is always fresh because of the frequency of people who stops here. This is half way from Skopje to Ohrid so most people are reasting here with coffee and something for eating. Because of the frequency it may be crowded especially in the somer where everyone goes for vacation in Ohrid and the food and drinks are very expensive because there is only 2 places where you can eat and one gas station so you dont have choices.

"Mekici" traditional fried dove, we locals love it.Nice environment and jazz/blues music in background is always there. Great break from the boring driving across the mountain

THE place to make a pitstop when youre passing it. It is very well known in macedonia, especially if youre on your way to ohrid. Definitely get some mekici and burek if youre there

In season this place gets 1 star, out of season its 5. Go figure. In season its crowded, smelly and with junk and flys everywhere. Out of season it is an oasis of calm, good coffee and donuts. Best of luck with timing in this mountain oasis under the sky.

Excellent place and they speak good English. Also they have ramps. So handicapped access is everywhere. Food good and cheap.

Amazing place for a quick bite. Excellent pastries and fresh yogurt. Illy coffee is so so good. I recommend this place

Great products and location, but unfortunately they don’t care on products packages. You get donuts in carton package, they should serve in special boxes for donuts, also you get cold coffe like espresso.

Overrated!!! Extremely expensive!!! Big rush!!! Terrible food!!! Please avoid!!! Go to rest and eat in neighbors city, Gostivar or Kicevo. You will find better places and much better food.

Good place, tasteful food, specially well-known "mekitsi" (kneaded doughwith cheese and yogurt.Visible lack of hygiene in the frontplace of restaurant. Public toilets are disaster for such beautiful touristic mountain place!

Delicious food. Make sure you stop there whenever you pass by it!

I give it 10/10, fast service, kind employees, and of course, very good view to the nature!

Usual stop for almost all the travelers on this route. If you stop, you must try the local specialty Mekitsa (deep fried dough). It goes well with cheese or marmalade, depends whether you like salted or sweet food.There is also a nice outdoor seating with nice views.However, the thing that bothers me most is the lack of parking space or should I say, the lack of organization. They havent done anything regarding this matter and travelers parks their vehicles wherever they find. This is additionally worsened by buses or trucks that literally parks on the road itself. This is very unsafe and they must attend this matter asap. So, be very careful if you are stopping here and crossing the road for a little rest in the restaurant.

"Must" stop by the road when you travel. Very tasty food, some traditional meals. Must try mekici with cheese. Big area for sitting outside. Downside are the toilets. The size must be improved.

Located in the mountains on the main(and onlyroad towards Skopje from Ohrid.We always stop here on the way to/from Skopje. It’s always busy, and the pastry’s, rolls and other snacks are always fresh!People love to stop here for a break.Prices are good, service is usually fast.

Its a kind of tradition to stop at this place, eat delicious mekicite and drink yogurt 👌, like a "check point" 😀. They, of course, have all other sorts of refreshments...

Well its a good to take short break on the halfway between Ohrid and Skopje!!! Good coffee and service!!! And good choice of pastry products!!!

It is place on the road where every few min a bus full of tourists stops. It can be crowded but you must take your time for mekicite that are always fresh. There is nice terrace too.

Good for a quick stop on the way to Ohrid. I had just coffee and it was very nice. Price is okay, more expensive than other places but well, its a stopover for buses. Its possible to have a snack or dinner. Open till late. Offers shop and different beverages, too.

Delicious food, nice resting place.

Despite having to cater to 4-5 buses worth of guests they were fast, professional and managed so well. The food was amazing! The prices were fine! Had a great time.
