In addition to the old restaurants with great tradition, all Belgrade visitors and citizens can enjoy the vast variety of newer restaurants which offer a whole different way of food preparation and serving, modern surrounding based on contemporary interior design trends, but equally cordial staff and delightful dishes.
Some of these restaurants are located in unique and representative areas, such as „Kalemegdanska terasa“ (The Kalemegdan Terrace).

It’s very popular among visitors and often you will hear many foreign languages spoken here. The inspiration for the restaurant came from Italy, and the menu is an attractive mixture of Serbian and Italian cuisine. Worth mentioning is that the entire furniture dates back to ancient Venice in Italy. The furniture was hand-picked and adds to genuine extraordinary feeling. “Lorenzo & Kakalamba”is located in the wider city centre – the corner of Cvijiceva and Vladetina streets.
Speaking of originality, we mustn’t forget to mention the restaurant Little Bay, another central place, in Dositejeva street.

A number of highly popular restaurants worth mentioning are located in the Beton Hall, at the very bank of the river Sava, in the old town, under the fortress area. This part of Belgrade is called Savamala, and apart from great restaurants, the area is home to many nightclubs popular among the younger visitors, and increasingly popular art galleries. Savamala is growing rapidly supported by projects in the area of architecture, design, art and urbanism and primarily appeals to younger population and foreign visitors.

These two texts present only a small number of restaurants which, in our opinion, are the places you shouldn’t miss. Belgrade, however, is indeed a large city which in its central and back streets hides plenty of other, perhaps, less well-known, restaurants which will also make you breathless with their offers and culinary specialities and make a lasting memory. This is why we’re also suggesting that when in Belgrade, do try and explore, all by yourself, the rich culinary offer in this city and let your senses enjoy.
