Smokvica

Belgrade


With its winsome courtyard terrace, arty crowd and with-it gourmet menu, to stumble across Smokvica ('little fig') is to forget you're in hustling, bustling Belgrade. Nibble innovative salads, gourmet tasting plates and cosmopolitan mains, or just sip good coffee in an atmosphere both rare and rarified.

Smokvica's Molerova and Jovanova branches have hip B&Bs attached.
