The restaurant is situated on a riverbank barge. You’ll see a walkway with frog statues inside.
Upon arrival, we were shown to our seats and coats taken to the cloakroom. The server was extremely knowledgeable and provided recommendations which turned out to be better than what we had planned to order for starters. Would highly recommend the Serbian starter platter.
He also brought catch of the day over where you can choose the fish or stick with their regular a la carte menu. Predominantly fish based however there were some meat based dishes and local sausages. The wine list was pretty comprehensive.
Overall, the food and service was excellent. The restaurant is on the pricier side but definitely felt like a unique experience and would visit again for a one off occasion.
Only feedback would be it was quite chilly so take a shawl / similar

Top quality food with an amazing view is just a few words to describe place like Nas Zabar - open in October 2020 bravely by gentlemen who work more then 10 years on some luxurious vessels.
Super friendly staff and waiters with extensive knowledge of wines, dishes and great smiles. Place you must go.

After a certain period of time, I was again in the Zabar restaurant and I have to admit that they are even better than before. Some new energy is obvious. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. Wonderful place at the river Danube.

We visited this place for a dinner and were very pleasantly surprised that windows were opened and had nets for mosquitoes, as it was pleasant summer weather.
Food was nice, of good quality. A bit overpriced, but still a nice experience with beautiful interior and good service.

Went here for dinner. Love the decor of this floating restaurant on the Danube. It has been here for many years. We really enjoyed the service as well as the seafood. The fish soup was great!

i start not to trust anymore Trip advisor for my holidays. How you can give to this Restaurant Certificate of Excellence? first extremely overcharged. Menu very poor. prices extremely expensive. i was there on Tuesday night with a friend. we were alone. i ordered fish soup and i found bones in the soup. i complained and the waiter said just sorry. me personally i have big problem with the fish bones. i can even go to Hospital if i am not very careful. Thanks God i was. main course my friend ordered perch filet and gave me a small piece to try even there i found fish bones. my main course consists of prawns , octapus and sea bass filet. even in sea bass filet i found bones. i was very upset and when i complained again that everywhere bones the waiter said: mistake from the kitchen. is it enough? i am working at the Tourism Branch and the professional way if happens something similar:1.is coming the Restaurant Manager and apologizes, then compensates full amount wherever was the problem and at the end they bring something similar without extra charge. Nothing happened. very unprofesional Restaurant , risky and extremely expensive. if they are not able to make fish filet better to avoid it. and what about the soup ?

Dear Marco,
We are very sorry to see that you are so dissatisfied with our food and service. We have a Certificate of Excellence because of what we have been doing for almost 20 years in this business. I personally can't remember that we ever had someone with so bad experience with us. But we are accepting it, and believe me we'll do everything we can to turn your "worst experience in Belgrade" to the best one.
I just want you to know a few things about fish. When you are eating fish soup, from the REAL fish, you need to expect a few bones in it. Any professional chef can confirm it. The same thing is with all the fish dishes. You need to know that there is a huge number of bones in a fish, so no matter how careful we are, there is a big chance that some of the little ones can be hidden in your dish. It doesn't happen often, but it can happen to you, and I am sorry it happened.
I'm telling you all this only because, if you have that much of a problem with fish bones, you should maybe revise ordering fish dishes, especially fish soup.
As I already said, I am personally very sorry for any inconvenience you had at our restaurant, and I want you to know that we would be very happy if you could give us a chance to prove we're worth your time.
Once again, I'm very sorry, so if you decide to come to us again, please ask for me. I'll make sure that you leave very satisfied with our food and service, of course at our expense. We've been doing this for a long time, had thousands of happy visitors, so we hope you'll be one of them.
Kind regards,
Aleksandra Poznanić

Zabar means frog! It’s on floating platform on Danube river and it’s one of the well known restaurants in nova Belgrade side. It’s mostly know for fish choices, mainly from river waters. W tried excellent grilled fish. Starters were also traditional Serbian dishes. Very good service

The food in Zabar is Amazing!
Everything you order is delicious, nice decorated, huge portions, so well selected.
Another plus is the personell, everybody is very kind, friendly, funny but very proffessional at the same time.
Zabar also has a rich wine card, as well as the delicious desserts!
My personally favorite Zabar's dish is a duck leg confit, but they serve very good fish too!
Also, the appetizer Zabar is a must to start with.
The place itself is theme decorated, beautiful and interesting.
They also have 'separate' dining rooms for intimate occasions, that are very comfortable and might say romantic.
Restaurant is located in well known Belgradian area.
Kindly recommended to all foreigners and locals.

This is truly a great place for a nice dinner right on the Danube. Extensive and fairly creative menu with signature dishes ranging from main to desserts. Very good wine selection and the sommelier is happy to propose something if you are in doubt. Excellent service. Keep in mind that their portions are quite big, so they can be easily shared!
