Fruškogorski Jelen

Fruška Gora National Park


Conveniently located in the centre of Vrdnik, the folksy Jelen ('Deer') is easy to spot due to its attractive front garden with a small stream rushing beside the tables under reed parasols. Apart from obligatory grilled meats, the menu features fish including trout and carp. There's a good selection of rakija (fruit brandy) and wines from local Vojvodinian vineyards.
