Belgrade Vegetarian Guide

In a city where carnism is a part of dining culture, definitely, it is not easy to be vegetarian. Mercifully, there are a handful of nice foodie spots where one can find vegetarian specialties and raw food dishes. So, let’s see our recommendations:

 

RADOST FINA KUHINJICA

Radost has this delightful atmosphere and a pleasant interior complete with its wooden pieces of furniture. It’s a small place cosseted away from the city hustle and bustle and not too open to the gaze of random tourists. There is no sign in the street whatsoever that this restaurant even exists and the owner doesn’t seem to like websites either, so basically the word of mouth made this place visible on the culinary map of Belgrade.

I personally love it. In this restaurant, I caught a glimpse of a vegetarian paradise. Meals are lavish, healthy, and deliciously full of nutrients that most of us rarely get to eat at home. Tacos with lettuce and pomegranate are surely a perfect choice, soups, and homemade burgers with beets and buckwheat without meet as well. I am also a big lover of wine, so I would recommend Serbian wine “Tri Morave” or alternatively one can just drink some smoothie.

Surprisingly enough the most costly meal in this restaurant costs as little as 8 euros. Some of the world’s celebrities ate here whilst staying in Belgrade, such as members of the Depeche Mode band, Italian jazz musician Nicola Conte and Hollywood actress Salma Hayek. But do not let these famous guests put you off. Radost Fina Kuhinjica is a very cozy little place.

MEZESTORAN DVORISTE

Hidden behind the residential building in Svetogorska St., Mezestoran represents a unique oasis of quality Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. Foodies can choose between delicious meze (hors d’oeuvre) such as Croquettes with mild tahini sauce, Summer rolls with shrimps, Fresh mussels “Agioli” (in a sauce of garlic and wine), and salads and Italian pasta. We would recommend Cretan wine and the finest krempita in town. On sunny days guests can dine in a lovely garden that now works all year round.
