Taste the best of Balkan’s cuisine at Ambar, a lively restaurant which is getting more and more popular. The service is second to none; the staff will always take the time to explain the menu to you. Start off with a traditional cheese pie, before feasting on something from the grill. And whatever you do, don’t skip dessert this time. The profiteroles with vanilla and nougat chocolate sauce are to die for.

Sit down by one of the pretty checkered tables at Zavicaj and you’ll feel right at home. It’s a traditional restaurant with a touch of countryside close to the centre of the city. It does get a bit crowded as it’s so popular, but it’s still worth a visit for those who appreciate a nice goulash or a pork shish kebab, and who doesn’t? Finish your meal with a hot cup of coffee before you take on Belgrade’s famous nightlife.
