During the summer time, you can sit outside the restaurant under this shady tree to eat.

We really enjoyed our home cooked lunch at the tavern, "Kod špilje".





Our lunch started with soup served with bread.  This is my first taste of Croatian pumpkin soup which made me yearn for it at other destinations.





Followed by salad and a choice of grilled fish or...



...or meat.



There is a signboard that says it is closed on Mondays.

Visit to Grgos Cave

Friday 27/01/17 - Part of our Samobor & Food Wine Tour journey

Mladen drove us to Otrusevec to visit the Grgos Cave and to share its history.



Josip Grgos discovered the cave in 1973 when he blasted his land to mine lime rocks.   Now life is more pleasant and less dangerous for Grgos and his family as they can make a living by opening up the cave to tourists and serving home cooked food in their tavern, "Kod špilje".  That is where we had our lunch.

Visitors to the cave are given a booklet in English about Grgos Cave.

We almost could not get in to view the cave as it was winter and the door was frozen shut.  The owner had to pour hot water to melt away the ice to dislodge it.
