Mayka

Top choice in Belgrade


Among Belgrade's slim offerings for vegetarians, here's a gem right in the city centre. Mayka serves up worldly vegetarian specialities in a Serbian way. Listen to the waiter's recommendations and don't miss dishes featuring their house-made seitan or stir-fried veggies with smoked sunflower cheese. Indian and Thai curries go down a treat as well, especially on the rustic front patio.

The interior evokes a bar atmosphere and, while enjoying world-class slow food, you can come across live jazz and piano acts too.
