Café Veliki

Novi Sad


Far from Novi Sad's standard hotel restaurants, Café Veliki – inside Hotel Veliki – is a go-to destination for Vojvodinian cuisine in a hip, industrial-chic environment, with sustainable architecture throughout.

Pork roast with dumplings in a spicy paprika sauce, spicy slovak sausages and sweet pasta with poppy seeds (rezanci s makom; an acquired taste) are hearty and valiant efforts on the food of the region. Paired with a worthwhile list of Serbian wines, it's a fabulous foodie overview of Vojvodina.
