Located on the rooftop of the Metropole Hotel, offers an incredible 360° panoramic view of Belgrade. It’s a fantastic spot for anyone seeking a fine dining experience with breathtaking views of the city. The overall ambience was calm and peaceful, as there weren’t many people dining during our visit. Interestingly, I don’t recall any background music, which added to the quiet atmosphere. Despite being in Serbia, where indoor smoking is common, we didn’t notice any unpleasant odors, which was a pleasant surprise. The staff were extremely polite, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. They were quick to serve and even offered to charge our phones—such thoughtful service really added to the experience. Our meal started with complimentary bread and truffle butter. While the bread wasn’t served warm, the truffle butter was rich and flavorful, making up for that slight disappointment. Moving on to the main courses, we ordered a variety of dishes, and while most were good, some left us with mixed impressions. The soup dumplings, for example, were quite confusing. Instead of traditional dumplings, we received what can only be described as a pie submerged in soup. While the soup itself was tasty, the pie felt too heavy for the portion size and didn’t fit well with the dish’s concept. Next, the burrata was unfortunately a major letdown. It didn’t taste or feel like the burrata we’re used to—it was more similar to cottage cheese, with a strange texture that felt entirely off. I believe the restaurant should either rename the dish or add a detailed description on the menu to set the right expectations. On a positive note, the beef cheeks were excellent. They were perfectly cooked, soft, and very flavorful, making them one of the highlights of our meal. However, the side dish served with the beef cheeks didn’t complement the meat well. It tasted like something you’d find in beef soup, and the combination felt odd and out of place. It took away from what could have been a perfect dish. I also tried the tomato soup, which I found rich and well-prepared. The only downside was the piece of bacon inside, which was overly salty for my liking. Without the bacon, the soup would have been perfect. The pasta with salmon was decent—nothing extraordinary, but tasty and served in a very large portion. My friend ordered the pasta with steak, and while I didn’t taste it, the presentation looked fantastic, and he seemed to enjoy it. Another friend had the goulash, which he described as hearty and satisfying. We also shared the steak tartare, which was priced at €40. The portion was large, making it good for sharing, but the tartare itself wasn’t particularly memorable. The meat was served in large chunks rather than finely minced, and the flavor leaned heavily toward spices rather than the clean, fresh taste typically associated with Italian-style tartare. It was decent, but for the price, we expected something more refined. Lastly, my friend ordered the salmon steak (€33), which was well-cooked and beautifully presented. She enjoyed it but couldn’t finish it due to the large portion size. We also ordered mushrooms, but unfortunately, by the time they arrived, we were too full to even try them, which was a shame. One peculiar aspect worth mentioning is that beer (Corona) was more expensive than a glass of Prosecco. This felt strange, as beer is usually a cheaper option. If you’re a fan of cocktails, though, the Negroni is worth trying—my friend said it was very well-prepared and enjoyable. Portions & Pricing A key takeaway from our experience is that portions are very large, so be careful when ordering. I’d recommend sticking to either a starter or a main dish unless you have a huge appetite. We made the mistake of ordering both, and it was simply too much food—we couldn’t finish everything. Prices are on the higher side, which is expected for a Michelin-listed restaurant, but some dishes, such as the steak tartare, felt overpriced for what they offered.

I am staying at Metropol Hotel and decided to give their restaurant a try. It’s advertised as fine dining. I ordered beef carpaccio and salmon dishes, glass of sparkling and a glass of white wine, with bottle of still water. Tap water was not an option. I arrived without reservation at 6:30pm and was greeted by a woman who appeared professional, friendly and well mannered. The views are spectacular from here and both indoor and outdoor seating is available. I was not asked about my preference and was shown to a table. I was promptly offered a drink and a food menu but was not asked for a drink until 10 minutes after. I was ready to order way before as I had a very limited time. While this place is very laid back and I love that, staff awareness was lacking. Barman was preparing drinks without keeping an eye on the floor, waiter was busy around and he did not pay attention to me until he was ready. The host came to charge her mobile and chat with a bartender several times and I was forced to listen about her life story as restaurant was very quiet although nice music was playing in the background. My waiter only spoke English which was opposite from my experience at hotel reception. At hotel reception I was asked to speak Serbian as they did not understand English. English is my preferred language however I wonder what would have happened if I did not know English. While white table cloths and prices may fool you this was not silver service nor fine dining restaurant as advertised. My wine glasses and cutlery as well as clearing of the table lacked basic knowledge of hospitality service and protocol. The most disappointing part of my evening was value for money and food. The bill came to over 7000drs. Carpaccio was small serve for the price and lacked flavour and presentation. Adding house-made grissini, truffle oil, lemon, and rocket leaves instead of butter lettuce would have been a better match. Instead balsamic glaze was added and bunch of leaves with Parmesan crumbs. Salmon was thin, overcooked as well as asparagus which you could not cut well as stem was not snapped at the right place and was tough in spite being over cooked. Both creamy quinoa and beetroot purée lacked seasoning and flavour and I am not sure where honey mustard pudding went. Very disappointing dish. Sadly very disappointing experience. Sorry guys.

I loved the view - its 360 and you can see both Saint Sava cathedral and Saint Mark cathedral and almost all the Belgrade city and a little bit of Danube river far away You can also watch the sunset ) The interior is simple, a little bit minimalistic We were at the special wine event so we had an opportunity to taste a lot of starters and dishes prepared by the chef and lots of desserts I absolutely loved royal shrimps with a special sauce, Asian style tuna pieces, and chocolate dessert The service was on top Staff is friendly and helpful I’m definitely going to visit this restaurant again

I recently had the pleasure of dining at 22 Restaurant, located on the rooftop of the Metropol Palace Hotel in Belgrade, and I can't recommend it enough. From the moment I stepped into the elevator and ascended to the top floor, I knew I was in for something special. The panoramic views of the city skyline and the Danube River provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable evening.

The atmosphere is elegant yet inviting, blending contemporary design with a touch of sophistication. The...
