Gault&Millau's review 2026

In a quiet part of Zlatibor, close to the center, this restaurant merges tradition and authenticity with a simple and honest concept. The interior is warm and in national tone, while the terrace offers a welcome sense of distance from the bustle - time spent here feels like a small but genuine respite. Discreet and experienced staff reinforce the impression of a carefully nurtured, homely approach. Begin with a glass of homemade rakija, particularly from plum or wild pear. The appetizer spread ranges from hot cornbread and homemade bread through cheese and kajmak to beef prosciutto and mountain bacon. Those with a taste for heat can add roasted chili peppers, ajvar, or Sombor pepper for extra sharpness. Thin-crust pies filled with cheese and garden patience, and baked potatoes with kajmak and bacon, arrive as clear representatives of the local table. The main specialty is veal under the sač - tender, succulent, and served with a rich gravy - while grilled trout with potato salad offers a lighter but equally appealing alternative. Homemade ice cream, creamy princess doughnuts, or baklava with prunes bring the meal to a close with a quiet, nostalgic flourish.
