Ambar

Top choice in Belgrade

LoginSave

Upmarket, innovative small-plate takes on Balkan cuisine are the go to at this chic spot – the best of a handful of trendy options overlooking the river. Everything from ajvar (spread made from roasted peppers, aubergines and garlic) to mixed grills has been given a contemporary spin; even the pljeskavica (spicy hamburger, usually served with onions) gets the five-star treatment.

Put your meal choices in the hands of the excellent and well-versed staff and you won't be disappointed, right down to the Serbian wines. You can try everything for 2990RSD.
