Gault&Millau's review 2026

Housed in a 19th-century landmark, Stara Hercegovina has reigned as an iconic Belgrade kafana for decades. Its wooden benches and its spacious halls offer an unapologetically authentic experience. Their menu is a tribute to hearty tradition, featuring slow-cooked knuckle with cabbage, wedding cabbage, and robust stewed beans. Signature mains include the Karađorđe steak, grilled meat and homemade sausages. For a lighter meze, guests can enjoy various cheeses, cheese stuffed peppers, pork aspic, fried tripe, or cornbread with aged cheese. Best enjoyed with premium rakija, the meal demands a sweet finish - don’t miss the walnut meringue or the classic tufahije. It remains the definitive soul of the city’s kafana culture.
