The fourth edition of the Serbia Michelin Guide has been published with good news for the country – a new Michelin star for two restaurants among the 23 listed in the world’s most famous “red” guide.

Situated in Belgrade’s historic quarter, this restaurant has stood near the Kalemegdan fortress and the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers for the past twenty years.

All over the world, the authentic spirit of a city lives and reveals itself along the banks of its river. And that applies even more so to Belgrade. Two rivers flow through it, the Sava and the Danube, and it seems the Celts founded it precisely at their confluence, such that still today the Serbian capital is called “the gateway to the Balkans”.

Thanks to its strategic position at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers, Belgrade is often known as “the gateway to the Balkans” – a gateway home to enticing restaurants such as Salon 1905, which we are delighted to introduce to you later in this article.

Awarded the Bib Gourmand label in recognition of its excellent value for money, Iva New Balkan Cuisine is a local restaurant serving traditional Balkan dishes with a subtly updated feel. But there’s so much more to enjoy even before you savour its super cooking!
