Belgrade restaurants & kafanas
Belgrade is the capital of Serbian dining: traditional kafanas in Skadarlija, modern bistros in Dorćol and Savamala, riverside spots on the Sava and Danube, and the city’s famous grill. Vetted places across the centre and the river quays.
Belgrade eats all year round. The scene runs from old-school kafanas with live music in cobbled Skadarlija to grill houses (roštilj - ćevapi, pljeskavica), modern bistros and international spots around Dorćol, Vračar and Savamala, plus terraces along the Sava and Danube. Prices climb in the tourist-heavy centre and ease off a few streets out.
Below are our vetted places in Belgrade - kafana classics, grill, wine and cafes. What to order across Serbian cuisine - ćevapi, pljeskavica, sarma, kajmak, local wine and rakija - is in the guide to the cuisine. We verify each venue and note the check date.
This section is being filled in: vetted places with honest descriptions and a check date will appear here soon.
