Srpska kafana

The kajmak was to die for. The best kajmak I ever had in Serbia. And also the snicla was really tasty. And the konobar was really helpful and super accommodating!

Live music at 20:00. Five star experience in every aspect. Local spot.

Really nice food (especially the bohemian muck ‘boemska mućkalica) and perfect service. A must go place.

Old school kafana-restaurant in the heart of Belgrade. Famous in special circles of people... Food very good, rakia was very good. It was live music after 20h.

Okay so this was EPIC! Such an authentic experience with a local serbian cousine! Great plejskavice and cevapcici and that home mada ajvar. But be careful portions are super big we couldn’t finish it

All my words for Belgrade aside, this restaurant aside. menus that have preserved their classical structure, traditional Balkan cuisine, everything is very delicious. warm atmosphere related employees.

Amazingly authentic Serbia kafana. Not your typical tourist spot, so you won’t find english menus (not a bad thing), but you WILL find genuine food that tastes like someone’s grandma cooked it for you, a warm & inviting spot that feels like you’ve gone back in time a bit.

I was originally trying to grab food on Skadarlija, but after striking out multiple times due to an overbooked & crowded NYE weekend, I just started wandering randomly outside the area, & stumbled upon this place.

When I arrived, at around 9pm on a Saturday night (Jan 1 2022), the place looked like it might have been closed for a private event (there was only 1 large table seated at the time). I decided to chance it & ask, & I’m glad I did.

After some fumbling Serbian/ English, I was seated, & the owner/ manager (who had actually been seated at the single table with the large dinner party) came over & explained to me in English that their menu was in Serbian. I told him that was not a problem, as I would just use my iPhone to translate (the Google Translate app is pretty awesome for this task, using the camera). He brought the menu & then told me about a couple specials, & they sounded so good, that I just went with his recommendations for appetizers & main, & bypassed the menu altogether.

I’m not exactly sure what I ate, but it was some sort of cold Serbian whipped cheese (kinda like cream cheese), mixed with peppers, & served with some sort of smashed vegetable (again, mostly sweet red peppers & maybe eggplant?) spread alongside the cream cheese/ pepper spread. Both were tasty separate, but even better when put on the bread together.

The main course was a fantastic veal roast, with giant chunks of meat (I believe cooked in the traditional style “under ash”, where it’s almost like a slow-cooked clay-pot kinda preparation. With roasted potatoes alongside.

Dessert was Serbian snenokle, a tasty, but rich & heavy mix of a sweet, soft, cold egg white meringue covered in a custard pudding.

With a few glasses of rakije (Serbian brandy- their medovaca was VERY good- plum brandy sweetened with honey), a coke, sparkling water & espresso, the total was a VERY fair and affordable 3240 dinar (about $32 USD as of Jan 2022)

Great place to visit if your want an authentic kafana experience, that you might have to “work” a little bit to understand.

The perfect place to eat out if you want to experience authentic food, amazing ambiance and friendly staff. I will visit Belgrad again just so I can come here and eat again.

Serbian atmosphere & music in a nice looking and cozy restaurant, with good Serbian authentic food. Dishes in menu have only the meat mentioned, but include side dishes. I highly recommend it.

It was surprisingly not busy at all, and the food was absolutely amazing. The service was very good aswell, and it was overall an incredible restaurant.

Had the best pljeskavica here, along with a delicious baklava

The waiters speak English and are very friendly, and the atmosphere is homey

Traditional Serbian cuisine, moderate prices, old waiters and fantastic atmosphere

Polite waiter with great recommendations.
Food was amazing.

Amazing food, great atmosphere

Amazing authentic Serbian food, the way grandma made it

First kafana experience! Did not disappoint

We stayed in Belgrade for a month and tried many cafes and restaurants. This one is the best one!

Nice traditional food like a grandmother makes it.

Domestic cuisine of great taste. Cult place for typical Serbian dishes and atmosphere. If in Belgrade, must take a lunch there.

Very good food and good service!!! Nice experience!!!
