Proleće Belgrade

Where family gatherings meet Bohemia

Anđa from Belgrade

About me I grew up in the peaceful surroundings in the countryside of Southern Serbia and moved to Belgrade to finish university. When I’m not working as a transactional attorney, my focus is on exploring Belgrade’s vibrant food scene. If I had to choose a type of food I would have to eat for the rest of my life, I would choose ice cream without thinking twice. My passion has he...
""Proleće" is a restaurant in Belgrade where the interior takes you back to the '70s and the cooking's as good as my grandma's. Perfect for people-watching."

Proleće is a restaurant where the interior makes you feel as if you're trapped in one of the movies filmed in Belgrade during the '70s, whereas the food is almost as good as my grandma’s.

For years, it has been a meeting place for students who would gather to discuss art and politics while enjoying home-cooked dishes for more than affordable prices.

I enjoy going to Proleće by myself and practising the art of people-watching. While waiting for my sauerkraut, I look at a young lady who has taken her granddad out for lunch; I’m witnessing father and son bonding at the table in front of me; I can hear a conversation between an older couple at the next table. Even after 50 years of marriage, he takes care that she gets her glass of red wine after lunch and explains to the waiter how important it is that the wine is not too chilled so that she wouldn’t get a sore throat. Behind me is a group of friends, my peers, and they put tables together. Someone has ordered sausages, another goulash or pilau, so they are sharing food and everyday-life updates.

The waiters are experienced enough to recognize if you are in the mood for small talk or if you want to be felt alone. Extra tip: if you want to feel like a genuine local, ask for litre-litre (1L of wine & soda water).

Marukoshi

Agi Pasta Gundulićev venac

Tasty and quick

Agi Pasta is my go-to spot when I need a quick lunch, as it's ready in under 10 minutes. I usually get pasta arrabbiata, which they make perfectly spicy!

What makes the sandwiches at Babalu so exceptional are the various sauces that can be added—my favorite being honey-mustard.
