Barrique Gastropab — Restaurant in City of Novi Sad

While the establishment bills itself as a gastrobar, my experience suggests otherwise. In actuality, it seems to function more like an all-you-can-eat establishment, but with a fixed price model. Unfortunately, I found the quality of the meat to be unsatisfactory.

Moreover, the variety on offer was limited. With such scarce options, I expected the pricing to be competitive, but it was surprisingly above average. This, coupled with the subpar quality, did not equate to great value for money.

In terms of service, there was an unwelcome delay. After being seated, we were left unattended for a full 15 minutes before any staff member approached us to explain the dining rules. This lack of prompt attention was disappointing and affected our overall dining experience.

Additionally, I think it's crucial to mention an aspect that wasn't clearly communicated to us upon arrival: each diner is required to purchase at least one drink, over and above the fixed price for food. This unexpected requirement further escalated our bill, which we felt was not justified given the overall quality and service.

This place may appeal to those seeking quantity over quality, but for those who value a genuine gastrobar experience, I would advise you to...

Moja poseta ovom objektu je bila krajnje razočaravajuća, ponižavajuća i neprijatna iz više razloga. Kao prvo, gosti se ne tretiraju jednako od strane osoblja, u zavisnosti od toga da li gost dolazi sam ili dolazi više gostiju, zatim da li jede hranu sa menija ili sa švedskog stola. Da mi je to sve lepo rečeno na početku, možda i da im prođe, ali ja sam nakon što sam uzeo na tanjir hranu sa švedskog stola, seo za jedini slobodan sto koji nije imao oznaku rezervacije, već je bio slobodan sto. Dugo već sedeći sa svojom hranom u tanjiru za stolom, koju nisam ni krenuo da jedem, jer sam bezuspešno pokušavao da dočekam konobara, da prvo poručim kafu. U tom sedenju i čekanju prilazi osoblje/hostesa i počinje da mi govori da ne mogu da sedim za tim slobodnim stolom sa obrazloženjem da sam "sam". Dotična osoba me je potop počela primoravati da se premestim na sprat, iako je već bila hrana ispred mene na stolu i ja sam se raspakovao. Pošto je odnos osoblja prema meni bio lično ponižavajući, zamolio sam ih da mi upakuju hranu za poneti jer nisam više želeo da ostanem u objektu. Još već iznenađenje i nastavak još većeg poniženja za mene je bilo to što je konobarica donela jednu kutiju za pakovanje i htela je svu različitu hranu sa mog tanjira da tu za stolom istrese u tu jednu kutiju. Nisu se udostojili ni da odnesu tanjir nazad u kuhinju radi pakovanja. Pošto ovo nigde i nikada nisam ni video, a ni doživeo, takvo ponižavanje i neviđenu neprijatnosti, samo sam pitao koliko košta, spustio novac i napustio objekat, a hranu koju nisam ni takao sam ostavio. Nikada više neću doći u ovaj objekat. Katastrofalno neprofesionalno vođenje posla i celog koncepta usluge. Tragično je da se ovakvi objekti hvale vrhunskom uslugom. Uslužna delatnost, a naročito ugostiteljstvo nije samo puko spremanje hrane, već nešto mnogo više od toga, posebno odnos...

I’ve been living in Serbia for over a year, and I honestly do not like Serbian food 😅 nevertheless I went to this all you can eat Serbian food during the weekend and it was amazing. Flavor was top notch, vegetables fresh and crispy. Meat was tasty and not overly greasy (as I find it anywhere else in Serbia) It was great!! Honestly I’m blown away because it’s the first time I can say I have fully enjoyed a Serbian meal. Definitely will visit again! Also they accommodated our group of 12 people and the vibes and music of the place were great. Really...
