Climb the stone stairs onto the spacious terrace or dine inside the softly lit 13th-century manor, one of the most impressive examples of feudal architecture in Croatia. Kastel's offerings reflect its geographic location, representing both the Adriatic Sea and the continental plains with delicious detail. While the menu is seasonal, their vibrantly balanced green and black risottos impress year-round.
With unadorned log walls, wood-beam ceilings, white-curtained windows, lively Croatian folk music playing, and an open kitchen with an open hearth, this is exactly what a restaurant in a great national park should be. Fill up on hearty lička juha (a creamy soup of lamb, vegetables, and eggs), followed by boiled lamb with vegetables, suckling pig, or a "Lika Bundle" (renowned Lika lamb and potatoes— known as the best in Croatia—served with locally made plum rakija and veggies). Meat and poultry are the focus here; grilled trout is usually the only fish on the menu. Finish off with an apple (or cheese) strudel. The place is buzzing with tourists, but it's one of the only decent restaurants for miles around.
Small yet ever so cozy, its walls decorated with old clocks and paintings by noted Croatian artists, this lovely old villa a few minutes' walk from the main square is the best place in town to try such meaty fare as teleća koljenica (knuckle of veal) and češnjovke (smoked sausage cooked in sour cabbage with potatoes). The latter is sometimes available only late in the year, after kolinje (the annual sausage-making period), when the hogs are butchered and the sausage smoked. Round off with a glass of bermet, served with lemon and ice.
If you need a dose of sugar to perk you up, try some samoborska kremšnita, a mouthwatering block of vanilla custard between layers of flaky pastry served warm that can be tasted at its best at this otherwise small and smoky café with a large outdoor patio. It's one of the original spots in town to make the traditional dessert.
