Restaurant Poljana

Restaurant Poljana is a restaurant and bar on the Velika Poljana plateau, beside Hotel Bellevue and Hotel Plitvice near Entrance 2. It is most useful as an in-park meal before or after a lakes walk. It is listed as self-service, while detailed venue information also describes a separate national restaurant with an open hearth, so the exact service setup is unclear.

The posted menu lists grilled trout with Dalmatian-style chard, a meat platter for two, squid, burgers (including a vegan burger) and pancakes. That gives you a few straightforward choices, but no dish stands out as a verified specialty. Visitor feedback on the food and self-service counter is mixed, so treat this as a convenient park meal rather than build the day around it.

The timber-clad building sits among the park hotels on a central plateau, with an outdoor summer terrace. The terrace is described as a place to hear birdsong and the Upper Lakes waterfalls, though its exact sightline is unclear; think of it as a place to pause, not a waterfall viewpoint.
