Serbia
20. May 2013: Restaurant Cica
The last dish in Belgrade was something truly and typical Serbian again – “Banjalucki Meatfingers 4 blocks” (260gr, 420.00 RSD). This dish is hearty, heavy but tasty! I mean, the quality of the meat is of course not comparable to a beef filet but in its simple combination with onions, mustard and chili flakes it […]
20. May 2013: Executive Lounge @Metropol Palace, A Luxury Collection
I have been to a couple of “Executive Lounges” in Starwood hotels and this one is a downer. Although the rest of the hotel is great – including the Junior Suites – the lounge is really not what you want to see when you imagine a lounge. The place is unattended, the selection of beverages […]
20. May 2013: Red Shoes Café
There is not that much to say about the Red Shoes Café but that it is located perfectly at an artificially created lake close to the city of Belgrade (still being part of the city). This place really makes you feel like being right next to the sea shore! It is also rather stylishly furnished […]
19. May 2013: Restaurant homa
Definitely the best place I have been to in Belgrade! The Restaurant homa is number one on TripAdvisor and I must say, for a very good reason (as was O Paparico in Porto and Porrue in Bilbao)! Obviously, I went for the “Test Menu” (3’600.00 RSD) which was just described as “8 courses selected by […]
19. May 2013: Splav Bibis
These boats which are located on the Sava river are just great – although the place seems quite run-down, I must say it just provides you with a really comfortable feeling floating on the water (which you barely notice). The waiter is – as it seems to be the Standard – friendly but damn slow. […]
19. May 2013: Restaurant Madera
The Restaurant Madera was recommended to us by various people so we expected quite something – unfortunately our expectations were not met at all! The “Hummus” (490.00 RSD) we ordered was definitely not the best hummus I have tried but it was all fine … … until I realized that there was “fungus” on the […]
18. May – 20. May 2013: Restaurant @Metropol Palace, A Luxury Collection
The breakfast at the Metropol Palace Restaurant is quite good – the selection offered at the buffet ranges from cheese to olives over tomatoes and mozzarrella, small snacks … … to cold cuts … … sweets … … fresh juices … … and the more hearty warm stuff like bacon and eggs. Even a couple […]
