Went here for a Sunday lunch. Reservations are needes since it can get crowded depending on the weather. It is a modern looking restaurant which looks really nice and has very good service. We decided to go tapas style, basically trying most of the menu...for a fixed amoubt per person defined as all you can eat. We tried plenty of dishes which were mostly very good to great, with my favorite being grilled zucchini. The only thing I did not like is that when we asked for a specific dish to try we were informed it could not be done. We also had some very good local Serbian wine. All together a place to visit if you want to try local cuisine with a slightly different twist.More

We loved everything. The homemade stuffed bread with cheese and hummus is super tasty. The only small thing was about the service: the restaurant was full and one of our dishes was brought upstairs, but abandoned at the bar. By the time we got it,...it was cold. They apologised for this, but did not exchange it. The location is amazing, even though we had to stay inside as it was raining.More

The restaurant is located in a wonderful location. It is very pleasant and the staff is very friendly. Food, the most important thing , leaves you speechless! Traditional cuisine with a modern touch gives a special experience. I would recommend it to everyone and if...you are lucky enough to be served by Milos, you will surely be delighted :)More

Indeed Serbian/Balkan food with a twist. Food, ambiance and decor was excellent! We went for A’la carte though we saw they are famous for their food train/all you can eat sharing concept. Portions are smaller than what you would get in traditional places, but quality...over quantity. I recommend the Ambar Cevapcici- something really special. Dusan our waiter was great and very friendly and definitely added to the experience, thank you! Only downsides: Dirty plates were not cleared in a timely manner, but in general we noticed this is common in all restaurants in Belgrade. Kids food could have been served before parents meals. Can only recommend and we will be back!More

Rarely placed - by the river, neat interior design, great service. Food is unusual (i.e. not dull), delicate meals. Amazing deserts.

Very nice restaurant...but unfortunately we took all you can eat...and we paid like 8000dnrs. The problem that the meat was all minced meat and we never had chicken kebabs etc...and the food stopped without notice after a long wait not recommended..not value for money. It...ruined my special day!!More

I went to the restaurant for a coffee and cake yesterday. There were a few - very -young persons on the terrace and before it who approached me with questions like if I was for a meal or a drink, but none of them was...a waiter, so I had to wait a bit. My coffee was good, my cake was average for the restaurant fame and its price range. Only, with the cake came a big spoon, like those you have your soup with, and no serviette at all! I had better experience with this restaurant before, and was surprised with this service-drop. The coffee and cake were almost eight euros.More

Lovely location but, alas, the food didn't match. The portions were tiny, esp. the sea bass fillet. The baked cauliflower was under cooked. The wine was not bad but the waiter was careless and knocked over the glass which still had a reasonable amount of...wine in it. In most good restaurants, there would have been an offer to replenish the glass. No such courtesy was forthcoming.More

Amazing staff food and ambiance. A must go place in Belgrade. The staff went out of their way to call us a taxi back to our hotel. We have never come anything like it. Just shows that when you love what you do, you can...be amazing!More

This is the best restaurant I went during my stay in Belgrade. Went with a friend (a local) and I was so happy with the food and the service and the place is just on the river. Strongly suggested .

The ambience at the Sava was extraordinary and at the same time incredibly congenial. We had a slightly later lunch with not quite as much good food, but all the more excellent Serbian Pinot Grigio. This place has a lot of flair. All in all,...a perfect location. This is how I imagine hospitality in Belgrade.More

I don't know what is wrong with this restaurant. Maybe their ambitions are much higher than their abilities? Maybe the waiters don't like foreigners? Anyway, we were treated very badly. I have never experienced such lousy service before. We were ignored when we arrived. After...initially having gotten menus in Serbish, we managed to get one single English menu, but had to give up on getting a drinks menu. After finishing the mediocre meals we were completely ignored again. The waiter didn't ask to the food, didn't clear the table, didn't ask if we needed anything else, simply didn't do anything, and we had to look him up to get the bill. This is seemingly a high class restaurant, and everything looks nice, but they should work on teaching their waiters to act professionally.More
