Pelister in Skopje

Lovely restaurant with a nice outdoor seating area.The menu was rather expensive comparing to the average in the city but well worth it.We had the beetroot salad with rucola and parmesan, which was pleasant and tasty. We also tried the pasta sorento with gnocchi. The gnocchi was slightly overcooked for me but nevertheless very delicious.Overall happy with the experience. The staff was relatively difficult to catch but friendly.

Pricey but good quality food. Its in the center of the city so its fun to dine and watch all the people walking around.

One of the most popular restaurants with a view of the main square and the statue of Alexander the Great. Food was super delicious although a bit pricey, but considering the location I think it is expected. Had the Cob salad and smoked pork sausage. The sausages were pretty big so would not recommend ordering them if you are not too hungry. Also the buns with curd are the best, a must try! They should invest more in comfortable chairs, especially for the outdoor seating.

Nice, central location... while food not so great and fresh juices - very bad, compering to other restaurants in Skopje.

Fantastic Food and Great View od Square Macedonia

Great food and atmosphere, but the waiters are slow and not agile

So many reviews have been added here but I won’t hesitate to recommend this place to the visitors of Skopje. Located in the very centre of the city, it offers good service and food. Prices are OK for a restaurant placed on the main square.

There were almost no visitors, but it took over 5 minutes to a waiter to notice us.

Food was fine, tasty and enough to fill my stomach 😁Lasagne and starter on picture.

DO NOT GO HERE. Absolutley the most awful experince I have had in a resturant. Not only was the food of very low standard, it was unediable. The service was absolutley awful. Meals and drinks forgotten. But by far the worst experince that I received was from there GM Saša. He was rude, arrogant and condesending. He was treating not only myself and guests and second rate citizens but anyone else that approched him. He was not hospitable at all. Do yourself a favor and do not go. Go to Motto Napolitano instead.

Skopje can be preferred in terms of being in the square and having good food. By the way, as written in the comments, I did not experience any Turkish hostility here! waiters are very caring and friendly:)

Le lister is beautiful, absolutely. And it’s in the best position of the main square. Then it’s correct if you pay 20-30% more then elsewhere in town, right? So, why 3 stars only? I’ve counted 5 or 6 waiters, but only three worked seriously, even for the others, who seemed to be staring into space, never caring about the customers who at a certain point even got up from the table to go and call them to get the orders ... in short, the staff it is all to be reviewed and instructed. A disaster, and it is a pity, because it would take little to make everything work like a clock. The quality of the food and drink is in line with any other posh place in town. All good, but not great.

Perfect location on the main square, great service, wide variety of food and drinks with good quality.

Very good food, friendly staff and excellent menu!

We had an amazing dinner there! We ordered red meat and it was super tender and delicious. Waitress was very nice also. Restaurant was busy, but food didn’t take long to come. Would recommend going there if you are in Skopje.

The location is excellent. The food speaks for itself. The steaks were the best Ive had in a long time. Their specialty is their beef and I will agree it is worth coming to this restaurant in the center. I even had the grilled octopus which was tender. I had their quinoa salad and had flavor...(I dont even like quinoaThe service is on their game here and same with the kitchen. Defintely going to become a regular here.

What a great restaurant, in the centre of Skopje, really chill atmosphere. The music tends to be good, we’ve heard Dave Brubeck and other Jazz legends. Food itself is fantastic, really good quality ingredients that are meticulously crafted, it’s an art form and it’s taken seriously here. Compliments to the chef.

Its a nice place. Good service, good food, fantastic location, mediocre prices. Just not very authentic. Then again, maybe you dont need that.

Very nice restaurant with mostly friendly and helpful staff. Only point of criticism is inconsistency within some of the food we ordered- came here twice, first time everything was perfect: second time (just two days laterthe portions, particular bruschetta, were much smaller and not something we’d repeat

Nice place, tourist friendly, nice view of the square, large and varied menu, decent portion sizes, pretty decent all round.

By far our favorite restaurant in Skopje. Great food at very reasonable prices.

Good food. Waited a looong time for them to come with the check. Wonder id they had too many waiters and they just expected each other to do things.

great location on main square, long tradition in preparing good food

Based on the reviews, I decided to try this restaurant out. I was not disappointed! I ordered the Cajun Steak dinner, and it was fantastic. It was spicy and perfectly cooked to medium rare. I will definitely stop in again for a meal the next time Im in the area.

Great place for drinks and food. Stopped here several times during my stay in Skopje. Pasta was good, pizza was better. Aperol Spritz very good. I I only wish the service was slightly better, but still my favorite place in the square.

Fantastic hospitality and food. A/C was good. Coffee was too. Homemade ice cream was astonishing.

The best place to eat and drink in Skopje. The food is really delicious. Great location. Only thing to improve is a bit more air-conditioning

I liked it there. The food was good and excellent service.

Poor service. Slow and inattentive staff. Skip this place and explore the other lovely restaurants in Skopje.

Very beautiful restaurant right on the center square of Skopje, excellent service as well.

Very good service with huge smiles. Thank you chef waiter who make it possible to sit and have nice coffee! Must try it <3

I think its the best restaurant in Skopje so far... keep up the good work

The person who meets people in the first place was a little cold but the waiters were amazing. And the food was quite delicious. Definitely recommended!

This restaurant is a must when in Skopje. We went there 3 times during our stay and were not disappointed. The food is great and the staff are really professional and quick. I will be dreaming about their pistachio cake for months to come, it was amazing.

A group of us dined at this restaurant recommend to us by a local guide. The food was excellent. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals. The restaurant was busy but we were seated promptly and served in a reasonable amount of time. The waitress who attended our table was super friendly and courteous and had a great sense of humor. Would definitely dine here again on a return visit to Skopje. The restaurant I’m located in the heart of the square and one can see all the action and nightlife from the covered patio and through the large windows inside.

This restaurant knows what theyre doing. Pretty much all the food in Macedonia is excellent, but Pelister stands out from the rest. The place is beautiful, with plenty of seating, and the staff are professional and efficient. Everything we ate there was exceptional.

Excellent food. Pasta and pizzas are especially good. The dessert menu is rich and on a very good price.

Service extremely slow because of some staff people that just cant be bothered. Good view, ok-ish food.

I really love this place. I had an excellent time with my family. Staff is very polite and all the meals I tried here were good. It is placed beside the bigest fauntains so the view is also attractive. Thumbs up

One òf the best restaurants in Skopje, looking at the main city Square. The outdoor patio is great during warmer days. Food is excellent.

Really nice place. Outstanding menu, fresh pasta and stunning pizzas, the personel is as warm as a grandmas soup in winter.

I love this restaurant I keep coming back. It is in the centre of Skopje and the quality of the food is excellent. It is cheap but worth it. There is a hotel there too but it is currently under restoration but I have been there many times over the years and it is a great hotel that’s cheap as well. It is clean and comfy, it is directly above the restaurant and is one flight of stairs above. I highly recommend this place to eat and stay at.

We sat here for lunch. Were welcomed by one of the waiters and he let us choose a table. Once we sat down, for next 15 min nobody came to give us menu or to even greet us, even though there were few waiters circling around doing nothing! We overheard one conversation between 2 waiters where one told the other that his table is waiting for him, the other one yelled i dont care, let them wait. So rude!!! We left the restorant right after..

Service was excellent and the food was just as good. I wanted a steak, and was considering one selection, but the waiter recommended another option (obviously more expensive; great up sale though). I ended up getting his recommendation. Very satisfied with the selections. The appetiser (shrimp skewswas amazing as well; I almost ordered a second. Will definitely return if I am ever back in the area. Great presentation as well. Thanks!

Great interior, average service, albeit the staff friendly. The menu brochures are way overused and should be replaced - its a first bitter impression for what that restaurant is supposed to be. The food taste - needs some work: the beet and rukola salad was actually nicely plated, but missing "umami"; theres also a lot of space for improvement in crêpes filling; bread-sticks and flat bread with kaimak have been actually good; so - overall experience - not bad.

On the 5th of February we had a very cozy drink here with my friends from France. I was positively surprised when the hostess asked for COVID certificates. The establishment practices a high level of social and public health awareness. The drinks were served properly and we really enjoyed our stay.I warmly recommend this place for a drink, for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.

I had dinner here last night with a group of friends. The food was good and not over priced compared to other restaurants.Edit 1: Below is their Macedonian pizza. It’s pretty much what you call a Supreme pizza in the U.S. It was actually good.

Too bad I can’t give less than 1 star…We called to make a reservation at 3pm and the hostess told us that they don’t take reservations but we are welcome to come at that time and they’ll surely find us a table. We double checked if they are sure because if they weren’t we were happy to make a reservation elsewhere. Well, they confirmed and when we got there at 3pm the hostess just smiled and said ‘we don’t have any free tables for the next few hours!’ That’s pretty much the worst customer service you can get, and as much as I used to love Pelister, I definitely won’t be recommending it to anyone in the foreseeable future.

My waiter was wonderful. Extra friendly. Very welcoming. And super patient with my indecision. Cheers to Boban D. My gratitude and appreciationFood was excellent. Well presented, tasty, and affordableAmbiance was nice. Well decorated without being over the top. Comfortable setting with a touch of class

Im writing this review on their restaurant as I didnt stay at their hotel. The staff is very kind, attentive and helpful and their menu is amazing. One menu-item that stood out is their beef and blue cheese sandwich: basically a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich with blue cheese, beef, onions and rosemary. One of the best sandwiches Ive ever had.
