Amici means friends in Italian and this place can easily become your best friend when it comes to Italian food in Belgrade. While sipping your Aperol and looking at your handmade pasta or pizza you will definitely say La Vita è Bella!
Food is delicious and service is really good. Also, they have a nice terrace for eating al fresco.
Tip: Zucchini rolls and Pizza Paesana.
When you decide it’s time for some fiesta in Belgrade you should come to Zapata. Enjoy some tequila and treat yourself to some hearty Mexican food.
They have everything you need…nachos, tacos, chimichangas, fajitas and it’s all delicious. Sorry, but you will need to bring your own sombrero.
Prices are reasonable and the service is very good.
Hidden in plain sight Dvoriste is like a portal to some Greek island tavern.
With their meze plates, you can almost feel the summer sun on your face even when the days are cold and gray.
During summer Dvorište lives up to its name (Courtyard) and brings the Mediterranean vibes outside.
Service is really tentative and maybe one of the best in Belgrade.
On some days they have live music to make the atmosphere even nicer.
Čedić is one of those off beaten track kind of place. Looking at the map there is nothing around it that will be off interest for regular tourist visiting Belgrade. But this local restaurant itself is enough of a reason to do just that.
Kafanas are local restaurants like taverns. It’s a place for family and friends to have lunch or dinner and have a good time. In some there is even live music. Today there are new kind of kafanas popular with younger people that are more of a club than a restaurant.
Not Cedic. It’s a family run restaurant with great food and service. A home away from home atmosphere.
Tip: Start your day at Ada Ciganlija, and finish it by coming to a lunch or dinner in Cedic. It’s a 5-minute drive away. Take a taxi or a bus and have a good meal away from crowd and tourist traps.
Try Rebarca (pork ribs) or Teletina ispod sača (beef).
If you’re looking for a place with a view try Alekandar club (Ski staza). Situated on the hill overlooking the Ada bridge it’s a good place to have a cup coffee and enjoy the scenery. Also, it’s in the middle of the Kosutnjak forest so if you feel like hiking you can go for a walk just minutes from there.
There is a café and a restaurant if you feel hungry. During the winter it turns in mountain ski hut with a fireplace to keep you warm. You can even go skiing there but it’s a short track so it’s mostly for the kids to enjoy. During summer some events and concerts are held there. Caffe (tower-like wooden building) has smoking and the non-smoking floor inside.
Note: can get crowded during weekends when the weather is nice.
White and clean Corso is one of the best-looking splav (rafts) restaurants on river Sava.
Great place to sit, unwind and enjoy the view. Because it has no walls transparent architecture gives you the perfect view of a river. It’s open year round but during summer it has two open decks to enjoy outside. Prices are moderate and the service is good.
Watch out it can get crowded during weekends when people go for a walk and a drink. Come before 11h and get the best spot.
If you’ve been to NY you know that lox and bagels are iconic food there. For a taste of NY in Belgrade you should definitely visit Bejgl bagel store. They make fresh bagels every day and even do catering.
It’s a small and hard to find place but totally worth the search. There are few options to choose from, both salty and sweet.
Bagels taste even better when you find out that this place was made for a noble cause. It is made to support the combat against human trafficking.
Tip: Apart from NY salmon bagel one of my sweet favorites is Nutella Cherry.
