Heart of Bohemian Belgrade, one of the oldest restaurants in Belgrade...
We are not even going to try to list all Belgrade restaurants. Instead, we will give you a brief guide through the cuisine and a selection of our favorite restaurants in Belgrade. Most Serbian restaurants serve the national cuisine, but there are more than plenty with international food and a wide variety of different cuisines is available.
Generally, Serbian traditional food involves a lot of grilled meat, beans and many cabbage-based meals. Even beans (pasulj in Serbian) or cabbage are most often prepared with meat - so if you are vegetarian, don't try too hard with the Serbian restaurants and go for international cuisine. If you do eat meat Serbian cuisine is very tasty and it is a great preparation for a night of partying or drinking with your friends. As with most good things, it's not so great for losing weight.
The Serbian cuisine (and not only cuisine) was formed under the influence of all the cultures that lived in Belgrade throughout history and Belgrade restaurants will give you flavors of Mediterranean, Oriental, and central European (particularly Hungarian) dishes. Food is no exception to the general rule in the Balkans: we all do it the same way, and we all love to argue over who had it first: slivovic, pljeskavica, cevapcici, ajvar, sarma, baklava... you name it, we'll fight over it.
This is a guide to the chosen few Belgrade restaurants - if you want to be 100% sure that you will have a terrific meal, we recommend one of the following restaurants in Belgrade:
