Restaurant Novak 1

I’m originally from Peru but I live in London now, and during my trip to Belgrade I really wanted to visit Novak Djokovic’s restaurant. It’s not close to the old town where most tourists stay, but I decided to go to New Belgrade and it was totally worth it. At the entrance there is a samurai-style statue of Novak, which was very cool. Of course I took a photo with it, but I hope that one day I can take a picture with the real Novak himself. You never know what can happen in the future. Inside the restaurant you see many things from his career and achievements, which makes the atmosphere special. There is also a small shop with some of his merchandise. The food was much better than I expected. I tried spinach and cheese bites first, and then a Serbian-style burger. Both were really tasty, the portions were big, and the prices were very fair for the quality. The service was also very friendly. I went on a Saturday around 2 p.m. and it was quiet, but honestly I think this place should be full. It’s a great spot not only for tourists, but also for locals. Between the good food, the atmosphere, and the connection with Novak, it’s a place I really recommend.

The food tasted fine, no problem there. The environment was just average. We came the day after Christmas, but apart from the Christmas tree, there was almost no festive atmosphere. What mattered most to us was the service attitude. When we first walked in, one waiter said “kinez” (which means “Chinese” in Serbian) to another waiter. I felt that was quite impolite—calling customers that way as soon as they enter. After we finished eating and left, no one said goodbye to us. Three waiters were standing near the exit, seemingly chatting and not paying attention to customers.

So for the start, excellent restaurant but with few important issues. 5 people, reservation made several days before, no problem with seating got really nice table in non-smoking part of restaurant. Chicken soups were delicious as well as children menu nuggets and salmon, issues came later, 4 missing choices from menu: Tuna tartar, carpaccio, beef stew and truffle sauce. Thats a LOT of things missing especially when you have several reservations and you are missing two most exclusive starters… shame we didn’t get to experience them. Selection of wine was really nice, waiter was experienced, helpful and very skilled. 5/5 for service. Rib eye was REALLY good shame that I waited for almost 15 minutes for sauce. Octopus, masterfully made, soft and well seasoned. 5 people spent over 330€ for dinner. Worth the money but it is shame that we couldn’t try the appetisers we wanted and the soup… Next time with reservation we will order ahead :D

Novak, the restaurant owned by tennis player Novak Djokovic, is a nice spot with good food, though the interior itself isn’t particularly special. However, it does have a personal touch, with his trophies, photos, and tennis balls incorporated into the decor. We had a bit of an issue with availability—after placing our orders, many of us had to choose something else because they ran out of the fish dish. That said, the service was excellent—attentive, kind, and even funny, which made the experience enjoyable overall. A solid place, but better planning on the menu availability would make it even better.

I didn't expect it, but the portions were really big (I'm starting to think there are no gourmet restaurants in Serbia :D). We were 8 people, and I think almost everybody liked everything they had. The atmosphere is also really nice, they have a lot of trophies and memorabilia from Novak himself so this makes the place quite unique.

From the moment we walked into Novak Djokovic’s restaurant, I was blown away! Very helpful with the parking exactly front of the restaurant.The ambiance is elegant yet welcoming - all the Nole trophies and photos ... making it perfect for a relaxed meal or a special night out. Every dish we tried was crafted with incredible attention to detail—the flavors were fresh, bold, and unforgettable. The service was impeccable, with staff who were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. It’s clear that passion and quality are at the heart of this place. Whether you’re a fan of tennis and Novak or just a lover of great food, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommended

Food was OK. Of course the ambience is special. With all the pictures and trophies. The service was really good and friendly!

Amazing food, especially the cakes, the staff is very lovely too. Big fan of Novak so we enjoyed the displays. I heard it got renovated recently and the menu has changed, so we'll have to go back again!
