Top choice in Belgrade
Å ²¹°ù²¹²Ô (meaning 'carp') is rightfully renowned as Zemun's best quayside fish restaurant for its exceptional fish dishes, professional service and welcoming atmosphere. Freshwater river fish dishes like Smederevo-style pike (grilled, then baked under an astonishingly flavourful smothering of tomatoes, garlic, onions and red peppers) and pricier whole saltwater options (6100RSD to 8400RSD) are absolute standouts.
Live Balkan music most nights.
