Temperament — Restaurant in City of Belgrade

The worst dining experience I’ve ever had – and I’ve visited restaurants all over the world.

We were seated in a dark corner and completely neglected by the staff. After waiting over an hour just to place our order, the waiter returned 30 minutes later to tell us they couldn’t serve us because we had “too many different dishes” – even though we only ordered three. He also claimed we were seated too far from the kitchen and it would be too difficult to bring the food to our table due to the number of guests. Absolutely ridiculous.

The waiter then suggested a “mix platter,” which we agreed to, expecting a proper mixed meat dish. Instead, we received a small plate of cold cuts and appetizers – nothing like what we had in mind.

After finishing what turned out to be just the starter, we waited another 30 minutes expecting the main course. When we asked, the waiter simply said that was it. We genuinely thought he was joking. He told us if we wanted more food, we’d have to wait a long time again.

We were so upset we decided to leave – still hungry. We ended up eating ćevapi from a street vendor just to get something decent. That says everything.

This was a complete disaster of a restaurant visit. Terrible service, poor communication, and absolutely no sense of hospitality. Avoid this place...

Easily THE rudest staff in Belgrade. Went to a birthday dinner of my younger friend (a year younger, might I add), and experienced the worst management, hostess and security ever. The hostess and manager looked at me and said that, even though I was one of the older people from the group of almost twenty people, looked too young and they wouldn’t let me in. After 15 minutes, when the birthday girl asked for the check to leave the place, they started apologizing and let me in, and begged her to stay. With ease, the entire night was ruined due to the extreme embarrassment and humiliation we all experienced. Unacceptable behavior, largely due to the fact that the reservation and agreement for the birthday was made weeks in advance, and our third year in a row coming to the same place. I sincerely hope that the owner would consider changing their management as soon as possible, because this behavior was out of line by a mile. Nobody should ever get publicly humiliated by staff of a restaurant to which as a consumer, would end up paying a great deal of money....

Temperament Restoran is a slick and modern restaurant located on the famous Savamala esplanade. A host of restaurants along the esplanade in Beton Hala (Concrete Hall), on the riverfront of river Sava.

The modern interior is impressive, with a great outdoor seating area, comfortable cushion chairs and heating.

Very authentic fresh quality Balkan food, extensive menu and the food was excellent. We enjoyed a fresh and light risotto, followed by the most succulent lamb.

Extensive wine list. Take the time to peruse the list as we found some hidden Serbian gems. They also have a beautiful wine wall display inside the restaurant.

When visiting the restrooms, you are also spoilt with a luxurious waiting area, a nice touch.

Take the effort with the staff, you will be rewarded. A simple hello and thank you in Serbian always rewards you with warm and friendly service.

Temperament is frequented by the locals, which is always a positive sign you have chosen the right place, and we were not...
