Michelin Acknowledgments Awarded to Belgrade Restaurants

The owners and chefs of 17 renowned facilities have been awarded the famous Michelin plates, which confirm the quality, variety and creativity of the food and the service they offer.

The Tourism Organization of Serbia (TOS) and Metro Cash & Carry Serbia, with the support of the Ministry of Tourism and Youth, handed over the plates to the restaurants which placed within the 2023 Michelin Belgrade Guide.

The acknowledgments were handed over to the awarded hospitality managers by Dunja Djenic, the deputy minister of tourism and youth, Marija Labovic, the acting director of the Tourism Organization of Serbia, and Andre Rinnensland, the CEO of Metro Cash & Carry Serbia, as the official partners of the Michelin Belgrade Guide.

The “recommended” category in the 2023 Michelin Belgrade Guide features: SkyLounge, Metropolitan Grill, Twenty Two as the newly awarded restaurants, as well as Bela Reka, Comunale, Caffè e Cucina, Ebisu, Enso, Gušti mora, Homa, Iva New Balkan Cuisine, JaM, Langouste, Legat 1903, Magellan, Mezestoran Dvorište, Salon 1905 and The Square, which were also in last year’s selection. Within the second selection, of said restaurants, the Bib Gourmand tag, which indicates excellent quality at an excellent price, was once again won by Iva New Balkan Cuisine. The Bela Reka restaurant is still encouraged for its dedication to sustainability, with special focus on the use of local products and preserving the tradition.

– I am glad that, today, a year after the first selection, we are here again to celebrate the new successes and award Michelin plates to the restaurant which, with carefully selected menus and service quality, make a difference in the gastronomic offer of Serbia. All of them contribute, in the most beautiful way, to the promotion of Serbia and the boosting of the positive image of our country. The continuity and the positive trend with Michelin is accompanied by a positive trend in Serbia’s tourism, so the year 2022 was a year of new records when it comes to the number of tourists, the number of overnight stays and the realized foreign exchange inflow. In the surveys we carry out, the tourists give the highest rates to the gastronomic offer of Serbia, which, with an active vacation and the cultural-historical heritage, comprises an important criterion in choosing the travel destination, and Michelin’s recommendation further confirms this – stated Marija Labovic, the director of the Tourism Organization of Serbia.

The award ceremony was organized at the premises of the Tourism Organization of Serbia, which has put extraordinary efforts in the past years to promote, on an international level, Serbian gastronomy and tourism potentials and the arrival of the Michelin Guide to Belgrade.

– The continuation of the successful selection of the Michelin Belgrade Guide is an indicator of the strength and the quality of the local hospitality and the Serbian gastronomic scene. Metro, as a partner to the Michelin Guide worldwide, is also especially proud of the partnerships it has with nearly all the awarded restaurants in Belgrade. For us, the success of the awarded restaurants is equally as important as our success, but it also contributes to the sense of responsibility of, as a wholesaler which supplies and supports the HoReCa sector, always being a reliable partner and offering local and world products, trainings and services at the highest level – said Andre Rinnensland, the CEO of Metro Cash & Carry Serbia.
