Fleur De Sel — Restaurant in Indjija Municipality

Fleur de Sel is a newly renovated restaurant set in a picturesque winemaking region just outside Belgrade. It’s part of the Šapat winery, perched on a hill above the Danube River, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

We opted for the chef’s surprise tasting menu. While the presentation and execution were generally solid, the food itself was underwhelming. One dish in particular—local peas—was so oversalted it was barely edible. More importantly, not a single dish stood out as particularly memorable or impressive, which is disappointing given the restaurant’s fine dining aspirations and Michellin star rating.

The highlight of the experience was the wine list. Exceptionally curated, it features a selection of rare and premium labels, many of which are not even available on the Serbian market. This alone might have somewhat saved the whole experience.

However, the biggest issue—and the restaurant’s ultimate downfall—is the pricing. The tasting menu, priced at 20,000 dinars (around €170 or US$200), is exorbitant. The ingredients used—langoustines, duck, local Danube fish, and a touch of inexpensive caviar—are all fairly common and accessible. There’s nothing especially luxurious, exclusive or unique to justify such a high price point for the tasting menu.

Would I return or recommend Fleur de Sel? Unfortunately, no. The experience simply does not deliver value for money. If the tasting menu were priced more appropriately—perhaps in the €50–60 range—it could be a pleasant option for those seeking a fine dining setting in a beautiful location. But as it stands, it falls short of expectations and certainly doesn’t reach Michelin star...

Gratitude falls short in expressing the sheer brilliance of this establishment. It is, without question, the best...

Great food, worthy of 1 Michelin star. Very strong connection to local sources, recipes and traditions - that could be explored even more. The service was fantastic and the ambiance and interior stylish, understated and tasteful. We were alone with another couple in the serving room with gorgeous views over Danube, sunset and vineyards. Second amuse-bouche was hummus(?) which was totally unnecessary and misplaced, but we understood it was a replacement for something else planned (it would have been better to have had some simple infused butter with good bread served). All in all, really glad the restaurant keeps the high standard. Not the most innovative, but I am sure the food will get there eventually, given the right direction the chef is...
