In Belgrade, dinner is rarely just dinner. Many of the city’s best restaurants have live music every night, and a meal can easily turn into a celebration. Whether you want traditional tamburaši, regional hits or Mediterranean sounds, here are the best restaurants with live music in Belgrade — grouped by the kind of night you want.

Traditional Serbian: Skadarlija classics

Tri Šešira (Skadarska 29) and Zlatni Bokal (Skadarska 26) are two of Skadarlija’s most iconic restaurants: Serbian cuisine, old-Belgrade ambience and tamburaši playing old Balkan songs, every day from 10:00 to 02:00. Tradicija (Tadeuša Košćuška 63) offers acoustic traditional music in an elegant setting from Thursday to Saturday (Friday at Tradicija).

Regional hits and a party atmosphere

Temperament in Beton Hala combines traditional cuisine, river views and live performances (Saturday at Temperament). Jelica at Galerija Belgrade is a Serbian restaurant with live music nights on Fridays and Saturdays. Nacionalna Klasa at Ušće is a favourite for dinners with live pop and folk-pop, and Santo Domingo at Studentski trg mixes live bands with cocktails in the centre (Friday at Santo Domingo).

International flavours

Bottega at Galerija is the place for Greek and Mediterranean nights with live music. Sakura in Beton Hala serves Asian fusion with evening DJ sets and a dinner show experience (Saturday at Sakura).

Live music every night

Boutique 3 in New Belgrade has live bands seven nights a week, mixing pop, commercial and regional hits with DJ sets — see this Friday.

When dinner becomes a party: kafanas

If you want the music louder and the night longer, book a modern kafana: Sipaj, Ne Pitaj (Friday) or Gradska Kafana (Friday). For the full picture, read Kafana Culture in Winter.
