The restaurant has moved to Svetog Save 14.A welcoming bistro with an extensive menu revealing a lineup of patriotic recipes that have been subtly overhauled but not to the detriment of their intrinsic character or flavour, largely thanks to the use of local ingredients. We particularly recommend the oxtail with caramelised onions, house-made gnocchi with veal brain and a reduction of bones.

This sleek, modern bistro stands just opposite the lively Kalenić market. The interior may be compact, but its trendy design and seamless bar service lend the place a bustling, playful vibe (booking ahead is recommended if you want to be sure of a table). True to bistro traditions, the menu is simple and classical as it balances purebred Serbian recipes - the horseradish-leaf rolls filled with ham hock are excellent, as is the slow-braised lamb with roasted eggplant, kaymak fondue and bay leaf oil, with French accents, such as foie gras, snails and Camargue rice, which occasionally even make t

Located on the rooftop of the Metropol Palace Hotel, this restaurant offers jaw-dropping views of the city skyline and St. Mark’s Church, along with delicious cocktails and gourmet international cuisine. Take your pick from the excellent steaks, (highly recommended), washed down by a choice of Serbian or international wines. It is just the ticket for an aperitif or a late-night drink with its soft background music.

The bright decor and colourful tableware of this restaurant reflect its happy-go-lucky, joyful Mediterranean spirit, as does the tempting culinary score, which includes chickpea fritters, tzatziki, different kinds of olives, typical ‘Dokos’ from Crete (imaginatively flavoured croutons), as well as chicken and pork gyros. A pleasant, informal setting in which to enjoy traditional Greek cuisine, flanked by an alfresco patio area in a refreshingly shady courtyard that further adds to its appeal and makes it very popular with locals.

Housed in the swish Saint Ten boutique hotel not far from San Sava church in the Vračar district, the dining room, appointed in a contemporary vein, lies just past the welcoming open-plan hotel lobby-cum-lounge. European-influenced cuisine takes front stage here, with a weakness for meat (try the Hoisin duck or the Saint Ten beef fillet - the latter is the house signature), although the menu also features a few fish dishes, including tuna fillet and grilled or steamed salmon. Vegetarians will enjoy the kale rolls. The plush, cosy Lounge Bar is perfect for a relaxing aperitif or after-dinner dr

On the eighth floor of the Hilton Hotel, the stylish dining room, enhanced by soft lighting and music, perfectly embodies the plush, international vibe one expects from such an establishment. The culinary score demonstrates a similar global leaning with Asian-inspired dishes such as Tom Yum soup, Gyoza dumplings, and a wide range of nigiri, sashimi and maki rolls. Simpler and occasionally Mediterranean recipes, both meat and fish, are presented tableside from a trolley, along with crab, lobster and a selection of fresh salads.

The youthful chef of this culinary and cultural landmark, popular with the locals and tourists alike, has been at the helm since 2019. Diners can choose to eat in a winter garden or in the dining room, often accompanied by live music during the colder months. The menu showcases a patriotic Serbian lineup, including the Krempita dessert that has been served here since the restaurant opened in 1946, and other Serbian specialties (there’s a 25-minute wait for the savoury Gibanica dish), with the occasional interesting, personalised touch and a focus on plating. Since it opened at the end of the S
