Old House: A Traditional Restaurant in Skopje Offering a Unique Gastronomic Experience

Located in the heart of the capital, this restaurant is set in a protected city house from 1836, which stands as a cultural monument and a testament to the tradition of Macedonian urban life.

The interior of Old House preserves the architecture of the old Skopje city home, with wooden ceilings, stone walls, and carefully selected ethnic details that reflect the spirit of a bygone era. During the summer months, guests can enjoy the courtyard surrounded by greenery, peace, and an authentic atmosphere. The experience is often enriched with live traditional music, bringing the space even closer to Macedonian culture and customs.

The menu is based on dishes prepared from homemade recipes. It features Macedonian specialties such as baked beans (tavche gravche), stuffed peppers, kebabs, roasted meats, grilled dishes, fresh salads, homemade pies, and traditional desserts. All meals are made with fresh ingredients, and some are baked in a wood-fired rotating oven, which gives them a unique taste and aroma.

Old House is more than just a place to eat – it tells a story.

A story of Skopje’s past, of the family table, of flavors that are never forgotten.

It is ideal for both local guests and foreign tourists, for business lunches or family celebrations – for anyone who wants to discover Macedonia through its cuisine and tradition.
