Built on the foundations of a family tradition restaurant Maki has been, for more than three decades, one of the leading establishments of Lika region catering and gastronomy.
The peasants' dinner from Lika has been a synonym for preparing food like one does "at home" which today is sought for and highly appreciated way of preparing food. Restaurants similar to this one are now promoting indigenous cuisine, which has been forgotten but is now living its revival. It has placed it in the menus of all restaurants. The indigenous specialties are - lamb, ham and cheese from Lika, čvarci (fried pieces of pork fat), kulen (krvavice, a type of homemade sausage using pork meat and corn flour), basa (soft cheese), homemade marmalade and plum jam.
