Dobar Kolač Belgrade
Family cake shop
Before opening her cake shop, Tanja was a regular at many food festivals around the city. People fell in love with classics such as Vasa's cake (walnut-based crust, chocolate-nuts-orange flavor mousse, munch mellow in between and bitter chocolate on top), but it took some time until she got the courage and opened the place in June 2018. Behind the counter, you will find either Tanja or her daughter Jovana, who is one of the best young fencers in Europe. There are no other employees; Tanja makes all cakes by herself.
This family atmosphere differentiates this cake shop from others. You can sit here for hours, get in touch with the owner, talk to people sitting at the next table and wave to the neighbors who will drop by just to say hello on their way to the farmers' market.
There are no compromises regarding the ingredients. You will be delighted with the gentle buttery flavor, no matter whether you choose a chocolate dessert or a cheesecake.
The signature dessert is krempita (cremeschnitte). It's the cake we grew up with and it takes us back to the sweetest childhood memories. Don't skip Prekmurska gibanica (Prekmurje layer pastry) or some of the raw cakes (excellent choice for vegans) if you are lucky enough to pop in on a day when it's on the menu.

Vanilica
Straight outta the oven
"Vanilica" in Belgrade doesn't have a vast offer of pastries - it's a small, unassuming, family-run bakery that I just love for the cakes and gibanica...

Stari šlep
A comfy hideout on the water
"Stari šlep" is the perfect restaurant for the summer days/daze in Belgrade. Its name means 'the old barge' - I'd recommend a fish soup and salad here.

Radecki Club/restaurant
Village within a city
"Radecki club/restaurant" on Belgrade's Zemun quay: a true local oasis - no espresso here, just plain good old 'domestic' Turkish coffee. Lots to see here.

Balkan Ekspres restaurant
Train on the hilltop
"Balkan Ekspres restaurant" is in Belgrade's Zemun, a city of its own. This place is worth visiting if only just for the views from inside the train car...

Kutijica
Creative food, out of the box!
The daily menu can, for example, include pumpkin with leek and poppy seeds, Thai curry with dried banana, chutney and raita. Or the good old veggie burger.

Dobra Pljeskavica
Mile's True Pljeskavica
Pljeskavicas are like Serbian burgers, but much bigger and tastier. Mile makes some amazing pljeskavica, some of the best in Belgrade in my opinion...
