Some restaurant recommendations:

Reka: This is a smallish inn that serves good seafood (particularly their calamari dishes). It has live music after 10:00 PM and reservations must be made at least 4 or 5 days in advance. The atmosphere after 10:00 is great, if you like a crowded little restaurant with loud music.

Daco (Patrisa Lumumbe street 49):
This is a traditional Serbian eatery. Again, you should book ahead. Their speciality are their appetizers otherwise known as “meze”. Their main courses are also very good, particularly their cherry sauce dishes. Their number is (+381 11) 2781009

Kalamegdanska Terasa:
Very convenient when you visit Kalamegdan Citadel. The restaurant is more formal and gives nice views on the city. (+381 11) 3282727. Reservations probably aren’t required, but why take chances?!

Zaplet (corner of Kajmakcalanska & Zarka Zrenjanina streets):
Good and fresh modern spin on Serbian cuisine. Definitely worth a visit. (+381 11) 2404142

Byblos (Kneginje Zorke street 30):
Why eat Lebanese food in Serbia? It would seem this place is popular. I have never eaten there, but the reviews are good. (+381 11) 2441938. Reservations recommended.

Ben Akiba (Nusiceva Street 8, downtown Belgrade):
This is a bar, not a restaurant. It was a popular hangout for anti-Millosevic liberals. Today, it is frequented by a trendy, 30-something crown. It is located in an obscure and hidden courtyard in a residential building in downtown Belgrade. (+381 11) 3237775
