Gault&Millau's review 2026

Named after a historic gateway to the Niš Fortress, Vidin Kapija is a place where the rustic charm of the South meets the elegance of the sea. A modern ambience, a beautiful summer garden, friendly and professional staff, and a rich wine list presented in a large wine shelf, provide an ideal setting for a culinary exploration. Start with the creative cheese-filled eggplant rolls, crispy zucchini, or the salty-savory delight of fried olives. While the seafood selection is remarkably expansive, featuring perfectly prepared St. Pierre, common dentex, sea bass, sea bream, tuna, salmon, shrimp and squid, the meat offerings are equally formidable. The portions are generous, the pljeskavica in its simple but excellent version embodies the flavors that have put Niš on the global gastronomic map. Veal tenderloin simply melted on the palate in a gentle combination with kajmak, on a base of seasoned potatoes. The menu also includes steaks in several varieties, mighty Vidin steak, stuffed imperial chicken, beef noodles in chili sauce, stewed veal cheeks and lamb chops, black risotto and risotto with shrimp. From the national segment - Vidin cured beef in batter, veal tails in sauce and knuckle, and of course a long list of BBQ classics.
