Dinner & A Movie
Pllek is located on the North part of town. In winter this place turns into a cosy hang-out with good food, drinks and bomb fires. On Valentines Day they host a Dinner & a Movie Night. You’ll be served a delicious three-course dinner with a very sweet dessert to share. After that, the candle-lit restaurant will make room for a giant screen showing.
