Sadrvan is a touristy restaurant located right by the Old Bridge of Mostar, and this kitschy, atmospheric place was a great place to try out traditional Bosnian food. The “National Plate” came with a sampling of a bunch of different dishes. On one side of the huge metal platter were cevapi, or grilled sausages served with chopped onions in flatbread. On the other side came a bunch of different warm items in a meaty sauce including boiled potatoes; japrak, or vine leaves stuffed with rice and ground meat; dolmas, or onions/peppers stuffed with rice and ground meat; stewed meat chunks; and “Bosnian cookies,” which were dry minced meat fritters. The middle section featured rice topped duvec, a stew of zucchini and tomatoes; and two condiments including ajvar (eggplant pepper paste) and sour cream, both of which went nicely with all the different components of the plate. Overall, though this was a quintessential tourist restaurant, the service was quick, the food was tasty (though a bit underseasoned), the atmosphere was charming, and everything came at a great price!

Stepping into this bustling hotspot, you're immediately engulfed in the authenticity reminiscent of the very heartbeat of the city. The vibrant atmosphere presents a grand stage, where the unabashedly 'good' and 'local' flavors command the lead roles. The dishes, with their 'nice' and 'big' presentations, are not merely plates of food; they are culinary narratives woven with the essence of the land. Each ingredient tells a tale, each bite, an immersive journey into a culture alive and simmering with history. Yet, a word of caution for the expectant traveler: the establishment is 'understaffed.' The service, although earnest, can falter under the relentless tide of patrons, mirroring a reality of many such cherished local spots. However, the true allure here lies in its 'great' value. It's an invitation to experience the quintessential flavors of the region without putting a strain on your wallet. A beautiful paradox of gourmet discovery at an everyday price. it's not just a restaurant, it's a story waiting to be savored. Here's to the next adventurous bite!

Normally we dont go to restaurants that have people posted outside encouraging you to dine at their establishment, but it was recommended by our host. We had a wonderful lunch, which lasted over two hours. The restaurant has an Ottoman era atmosphere. Very cool. The staff here are excellent. Very nice and attentive without being intrusive. My wife and I ordered the Sadvran mini platter which came with grilled zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, a pork chop, a beef shiskabob, cevapcici, a small salad, avjar sauce, and of course fries. Huge and more than enough for two. A bottle of Grasevina white wine got us through an extended summer thunder shower that dumped a ton of rain over the city. We were undercover and dry on the patio though. We lingered over an order of Bosnian coffee, and later a couple of aperitifs. The entire experience was 252 kuna ($38), a real bargain for a very good meal.

Terrible service. We had to look for a waiter to take our order because no one would look our way. And it's not like the place was full, most tables were empty, and waiters were standing chatting and looking for more customers outside. When we got the check we noticed it was way more expensive than we thought. Turns out they had given us their most expensive grilled dish "by mistake", so we paid for it but when they came with the change it was half euros, half kunas (Croatian coin). The food was okay. The taste was good but most sausages were undercooked and a few onion balls had a very undercooked meat filling. Not to mention the entire dish was already cold when we got it, but we were hungry and it was late so we went for it anyway. Would not go back to this place, or recommend it to anyone.

Authentic Bosnian food. Atmosphere is what you will score them 100. Staffs wear traditional clothes and they are very friendly! We thought we need to order 2 dishes at least for 2 person, but the staff reminded us one Nacional Plate is big enough already! And that’s true, as we got very full for this single one signature dish. Recommend this one if you want to taste all types of signature Bosnian food. Taste good, hot enough, look presentable! The only thing we don’t like is the smoke by other guests. But this is common in Europe when you sit in the half outdoor area. So if you strongly don’t prefer to smell cigarette, ask them to arrange an indoor table for you. Luckily we come in winter time so no need to wait! But it’s still full! Must come!

Although located at the very touristic route, they serve really good local food. This itself should be appreciated. Moreover, portions are generous and prices very reasonable (eg. for big plate - see the photo, soup and fresh juice I paid less than 15€). I can recommend you a "national plate" composed of samples several different dishes, which allows you to taste them all, but also to eat your fill. Last but not least it is served on a stylish plate by a stylishly dressed and operative staff 😊 Not surprisingly it is crowded and you may have to wait a while for a table. However it also rotates quickly, so it is worth sending a few minutes. Note: on a Google map location of the place is incorrect, actually it is a bit closer to the bridge.
