Ruski car

Stari grad · Obilićev venac 29 / Knez Mihailova 7, 11000 Beograd · +381 63 664757

Ruski car ("Russian Tsar") is one of Belgrade's best-known historic restaurants, at the corner of Knez Mihailova and Obilićev venac by Republic Square. Opened in 1890 and named after Tsar Alexander II, it was the meeting place of the city elite; the present building (architect Petar Popović, 1922–1926) has been a protected cultural monument since 1987, and writer Branislav Nušić was a regular between the wars. Nationalised in 1960 and turned into a self-service canteen, it was restored in the 1990s. Today it is run by Monument: breakfast to midnight, Mediterranean and Serbian dishes, pasta, pizza and a long list of cakes including the classic Moskva torta and Ruska kapa.
