Iva New Balkan Cuisine

How to Plan a Trip to Belgrade, Serbia

"An elevated take on regional Balkan food that reimagines traditional dishes with a modern spin. Founder Vanja Puskar describes the concept as “a creative exploration of local ingredients and their potential to be transformed into innovative dishes while staying true to their roots,” with the aim to “introduce a new generation to classic Balkan dishes.” Memorable plates recalled include fresh, fluffy pita stuffed with lamb and basil dressing, and a decadent chicken liver pâté smeared on homemade bread with wild strawberry jam and pickled veggies. The restaurant has banned smoking indoors." - Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd is a travel, wine and lifestyle writer.  Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines
