Despite completely covering myself with a raincoat, I found myself soaking wet following 3 hours of hiking at the Lower Lakes. In desperate need to recharge our battery, we decided to look for a decent place to settle down and have a late lunch.
Situated next to Hotel Degenija on the D1 highway, Restoran Degenija is touted as one of the better restaurants near the National Park (8-10 minute drive).
Some outdoor seatings are available facing the highway.
But we found the indoor dining room to be a lot more comfortable and cozy.
It didn't take us long to decide what to order. A warm mushroom soup was the perfect way to start our late lunch.
Croatia always has some of the best deep fried calamari and this one with homemade fries was certainly very good.
A little less successful was the spaghetti Bolognese.
Restoran Degenija offers a wide range of homemade pizza straight from their wood-fired oven and this one with mushroom, cheese, smoked ham, pancetta and tomato topping was a nice way to wrap up our lunch.
The Plitvice Lakes National Park, the oldest national park in Southeast Europe provided us with a great hiking experience. Too bad mother nature didn't welcome us with the expected sunshine.
