Gault&Millau's review 2026

This restaurant builds its gastronomic experience at the crossroads of history and contemporary taste, drawing on old recipes that once graced the tables of medieval Serbian rulers. Every ingredient is carefully chosen and exclusively of domestic origin, and the wines come solely from Serbia- underscoring the local character of the cuisine with quiet conviction. The recipes are discreetly adapted to modern palate while retaining the rustic spirit and layered complexity of the original dishes. Begin with the honey chicken fillet - succulent and mild, paired with a baked leek and bacon pie, pickled onions, goat cheese mousse, and demi-glace. The central place belongs to King Milutin‘s steak, a dish of strong character and historical resonance. Beef tenderloin marinated in sauerkraut brine arrives alongside glazed onions, fermented garlic cream, and bungur cooked in kajmak, while a sauce of porcini mushroom, honey, and blackberry rounds the plate with earthy depth. A classic reforma cake closes the meal on a familiar and satisfying note, while a selection of craft rakija provides an aromatic and authentically local final flourish.
