Ruski car Tavern

Ruski car Tavern is a protected cultural monument located at the corner of Knez Mihajlova and Obilićev Venac streets. The building displays neo-baroque architectural style with ornate decorative elements and a distinctive domed corner section.

The building was constructed between 1922 and 1926 by architect Petar Popović and received protected monument status in 1987. The original tavern at this location dated back to 1890.

The tavern served as a meeting place for Belgrade's artistic and intellectual circles during the mid-twentieth century. The refined setting still carries the sense of those gatherings today.

The restaurant offers visitors a comfortable dining space with classical furnishings in a well-appointed interior. It is easily accessible from Knez Mihajlova, one of Belgrade's main central streets.

The name references Tsar Alexander II of Russia, reflecting the historical significance of Russian influence in Belgrade during the 1800s. This detail often goes unnoticed by visitors but reveals interesting connections between the city and Russia.
