01
Warm interiors, generous conversations.
Wood, tactile surfaces and deep green seating give the dining room its distinctive character. The setting feels connected to the surrounding forest, while broad windows bring daylight and the landscape into the room. It is an atmosphere for settling in: somewhere to take off your coat, put down your phone and enjoy the company across the table.
A meal here can fit many different days. Couples can turn a simple lunch into a quiet afternoon; families can gather after a mountain outing; colleagues can continue a conversation over dinner. Choose the pace that suits you. If you have a preferred table or are celebrating an occasion, mention it when making your enquiry so the restaurant can advise you.
02
Familiar flavours, room for discovery.
The à la carte offering brings together continental cooking, Italian choices and vegetarian dishes. That variety helps when people at the same table want different things: a comforting main course after an active morning, a lighter lunch, or a leisurely dinner with several courses. The team can guide you through the current à la carte selection and recommend dishes that suit the pace of your day.
For hotel guests, the morning begins with a buffet breakfast. It is a moment to plan the day over coffee before heading towards Jahorina, Ravna Planina or Sarajevo. Later, lunch and dinner welcome visitors as well as residents. If you have allergies or specific dietary requirements, add them to your reservation request so the team can advise you before your visit.
03
Summer outside, Romanija on the horizon.
In the summer months, the terrace brings the restaurant closer to the forest. The surrounding greenery gives the setting a quieter character, while the view towards Romanija adds a sense of distance beyond the table. It is an inviting place for a lunch break, a conversation over coffee or dinner as the light changes across the landscape.
Outdoor seating depends on the weather. If the terrace is the main reason for your visit, ask about availability when reserving. A light extra layer can make a late meal more comfortable in the mountain air. There is no need to rush through a list of attractions: sometimes the best part of a day in Pale is simply leaving enough time for the meal itself.
Hotel Forest
Make Forest part of your day in Pale.
You can visit the restaurant without turning the day into a hotel stay. Stop after exploring Pale, return from a trip to the mountains, or come specifically for a meal with a view. Guests staying at Forest have the same invitation a little closer to hand: after a day outside, an evening around the table is waiting in the place they already call their base.
A family celebration or a meal with friends deserves an advance conversation. Tell the team about your occasion, guest numbers and preferred menu. Ask about current specialities and drink pairings; availability and any music programme must be confirmed for the date you choose.
