An unremarkable houseboat moored far enough from the city centre that few people know about it (or ever see it!), this undeniably simple restoran (restaurant) does remarkable, extra effort-worthy things with river fish.

The speciality is rarely seen fish mućkalica (spicy stew) – order that as an appetiser (after the fish soup!) and follow with a perfectly griddle-seared whole zander (grillovani smuđ) and sides of Dalmatian-style potato and mangel (chard). No English menu. It's a 600RSD or so CarGo ride from Trg Republike.
