 prebranac by ruki BEANS is among the favorite local dishes that come in many forms, from soup to chowder, vegetarian and "army style". Beans are cooked with chopped onions, bay leaf and addition of meats, diced bacon or smoked spareribs, with roux in the end. Beans are usually accompanied with sausage, pork chops or similar kinds of meat. Salad is an indispensable accompaniment to beans. We recommend cabbage or roast peppers in oil with garlic. You will appreciate beer or spritzer with it. Sauerkraut is traditional on the winter menu. But, we also eat fresh cabbage, as salad, or cooked in many ways. PODVARAK is one of them. One cabbage is chopped in thin slices and sautéed on chopped onion. The vegetables are placed on fat with addition of diced bacon. It is subsequently baked in the oven and served with turkey or pork roast. It is a must on a Serbian dining table for winter holidays. High quality red wine will pair nicely with it. WEDDING CABBAGE is cooked in a large clay pot for hours on end. It is made of sauerkraut, pieces of mutton, beef, pork and smoked meet with lots of onions and spices (pepper, salt, bay leaves). The taste of the dish is heavenly, and good red wine will make it even better. Leave a Comment

by ruki No celebration is complete without SPIT-ROASTED MEAT. But, why only holidays and celebrations? Traveling across our country, you will note spit-roasted lambs or suckling pigs above coal grill as a part of the scenery. The roast is sold by the kilo, and is eaten with fresh salad, or, in winter, with pickles. Red wine will be a nice addition to it. VEAL CUTLET OF SUMADIJA is prepared of veal cutlet with addition of Serbian white cheese, tomato, bacon, sour cream, potato, rice and hot chili peppers. Good red wine will make a good match. The tradition of meet preservation with smoking is illustrated with lot of SMOKED MEAT on the menus of local restaurants. The most popular of all is smoked de-boned pork back, but cut longitudinally, as opposed to chops and subsequently grilled. It is usually served with Serbian salad. Some quality red wine will be a pleasant accompaniment to this meal. Leave a Comment

by ruki When you come in Serbia you will be very satisfied with our meals, especially with grilled meat. Serbian grilled meat specialties have become a symbol of domestic cuisine with CEVAPCICI at the top of the list (minced shoulder pot is put on ice and subsequently formed into finger-like pieces and grilled. They are served with chopped onion. MIXED MEAT is the synonym for supreme pleasure in grill. Actually, the dish is a combination of different kinds of meat specialties: ćevapčići, beef burgers, meatballs with cheese, sausages, pork chops, fine lean meat on skewers and steaks. Since grilled meet is best when absolutely fresh and smoking hot from the grill, the so-called TRAIN of LESKOVAC has been invented. Your appetite is the sole measure of the number of "boxcars" You start with two or three ćevapčići, and here a burger comes before you even managed to toast with an ice-cold spritzer. Then, a steaming sausage arrives! With homemade bread the train goes on. Keep in mind that you are the one to say which boxcar is to be the last! KARAĐORĐE ESCALOPE is named after Karađorđe - the leader of the First Serbian rebellion against the Turks. It cannot be said with certainty whether this escalop was his favorite, but it is definitely very popular now. A veal escalop is stuffed with kaymak, rolled, then soaked in beaten eggs, breaded and deep fried. It is served with sauce tartar. Good red wine will accompany it nicely. Leave a Comment

 me and friends in front of theatre by Skipka The theatre is one of the most significant buildings of the 19th century and it decorates the Square - Trg Republike - where is the most popular meeting point of Belgrade. It is built on the base of renaissance architecture plan by architect Aleksandar Bugarski (Bugarski means Bulgarian) and the construction of it was initiated by Mihailo Obrenovic in 1869. Unfortunately, this building should tell a very sad story because in WW I it was heavily demolished. The building was in silence without applause, laughter or screaming of BRAVO!! till 1921 when it was reconstructed and reopened. But as we all know there was WW II and the theatre was again demolished. The present form and reconstructions persisted from 1987-1989. Leave a Comment

by atrosanguinea Knez Mihajlova Street links Terazije with Belgrade’s most popular promenade, Kalemegdan Park. Laid out in the first town plan for Belgrade, prepared in 1867 by Emilijan Josimovic, it is the oldest and most completely preserved area of old Belgrade. Foreign travellers once compared Knez Mihajlova Street to the most famous trading streets of the largest European cities. The most wealthy and influential leaders of the city’s commercial and political life built their family homes here. Knez Mihajlova was the first street in Belgrade to be named by the administration (1872) and is one of the few streets whose original name has never been changed. Considered the city’s main street from the outset, it remains to this day the most lively trading, business culture and restaurant area. Leave a Comment

 Prince Mihailo Street by Travelchili Prince Mihailo Street was named after the Serbian ruler and the street designed according to the first Serbian city planner Emilijan Josemovic in 1867. It is a busy street with many shops and cafes and people may often pass through without noticing the fascades of buildings that present a unique exhibition of Serbian architecture from the 19th and 20th centuries. So, the conclusion is: when you walk around on Prince Mihailo Street, take your time to look up and see some very unique houses! Leave a Comment
