Javor

Tara National Park


Across the road from Hotel Omorika, Javor is true to its mountain setting with large outdoor bench-style tables in the shade of tall pine trees. It's the place to go if you're up for some local game specialities such as wild boar goulash or venison ragout, although there are plenty of standard Serbian dishes on the menu. The service can be slow.
