Panorama

Serbia


For some refreshingly non-Balkan dining in an elegant setting with impeccable service – and unbeatable views of the city – head straight to the rooftop restaurant of the eight-storey Hotel Kragujevac. The chef's focus is on the use of ingredients and spices (think salmon in dill sauce, lamb in dijon mustard and honey, chicken with prunes, or turkey fillet in blackcurrant sauce).
