The Lion - Ohrid

Updated: Jun 18

The Lion - Two visits


The Lion is a hot new restaurant and bar opened in Ohrid. It offers sensational views of Lake Ohrid.

First and foremost, the delightful owners and staff are an absolute pleasure. You feel incredibly welcome from the moment you arrive.


Secondly, the food will keep you coming back for more: traditional Macedonian, tapas, and international fusion. The menu is designed to share, with a range of options for all appetites.


Try the Zucchini balls; they were heaven! Tacos and traditional beef dishes are also a must!

The restaurant is beautifully designed, with modern, high-quality furnishings. It's easy to spend the afternoon and evening relaxing with fine wines, cocktails, and food with your friends.

The vibe and energy are infectious. It's definitely a local hotspot. You feel like you're part of the family.


Not only do you get excellent service, food, and drinks, but you are also spoilt with untouched views of Lake Ohrid, the perfect location to enjoy the magical sunsets of Macedonia.


We were spoilt with surprise live music from a guest during our visit:-)

A big thank you to Bryan and Kathy (the delightful owners), Phillip (our very attentive waiter) and the rockstar bar crew, who made us feel welcome during our stay in Ohrid.

The Lion is the place to visit in Ohrid; you won't be disappointed.
