Latest Kosovo Comments
Awful, they have no menus, no prices, no wine list and they seem to decide how much to charge based on whether you are local or expat. Staff smoke on duty and they don't take credit cards. Avoid it.[...]
Earlier this year we got on the bus to Gjilan and had no trouble getting them to let us off at Gracanica.[...]
Best Italian restaurant in Pristina, without question. In fact, for overall quality of food, ambiance, service, and price, it's probably the best restaurant in town.[...]
Definitely the best and busiest restaurant in Kosova, but you will still be served fast. Well done to the management and all the staff there.[...]
I really loved my one-night stay here. My room was spotless and quiet (at back of hotel), and bed was comfy. Staff were without exception helpful and friendly. The owner even gave me her spare mobile phone so I could stay in contact with friends! Gr[...]
So if you do not have a car, how do you get there? What bus can you take?
EDITOR: Any taxi, or the bus to Gracanica.[...]
Really nothing special. Not worth the trek out there. Prices were for the most part the same as the hypermarkets in the centre. Clothing as well.[...]
Great place, good food, and good wine.[...]
Hi Frank - I take it you got on the bus at Pristina Bus Station? You should have got of the bus before Gracanica and walked. No?[...]
I was refused by 2 different bus drivers of the Pristina-Giljan Bus to take me to Gracanica. So the only way to get there is probably a rented car.[...]
Excellent service, great food, very friendly atmosphere, good portions, small menu but fantastic every time. Water and salad always on the house, great![...]
Absolutely superb food, the best shrimps I have ever tasted, every bite was festive. Excellent service, great ambiance. Comparable with top restaurants anywhere in Europe. Bravo! I knocked myself out for €20.[...]
Great ambience, but poor food. The waiter did not know what is cabbage! The meat was half cooked, vegetables not tasty. I gave them three chances, but every time it simply was lousy. Avoid it.[...]
I fully endorse Tim's review above. We paid €18 a head for three courses plus bottle of wine. And they serve pork too. By the way there's nothing wrong with the location - virtually next door to InterEminex - but the actual entrance is not eas[...]
Since it appears as if in Monaco, I THINK that with roaming rates reduced within Europe from summer 2010, people calling your Vala number from elsewhere in Europe should be able to do so relatively cheaply - ie as if calling a French mobile from UK.[...]
