Zavičaj, Serbian restaurant in Savski Venac, Serbia
Zavičaj is a Serbian regional restaurant in the Savski Venac district of Belgrade, set across two floors with an outdoor garden terrace. The menu focuses on homemade pastries and meat dishes prepared following traditional methods from across the Balkans.
The restaurant opened in 2012 as part of a small group of Belgrade spots focused on Serbian regional food. Its opening came at a time when interest in traditional local cooking was growing in the city.
The name "Zavičaj" means "homeland" or "place of origin" in Serbian, which gives the whole concept its direction. Dishes come from different regions of Serbia, and the setting reinforces that feeling with handcrafted objects placed around the room.
The restaurant has seating on two indoor floors as well as on an outdoor garden terrace, so it works well in most weather. Parking is available nearby for those arriving by car.
The walls and shelves hold traditional tools and everyday objects from the Serbian regions that inspired the recipes on the menu. These items are not purely decorative as each one comes from the same area as the dish it relates to.
