Mezestoran Dvorište

Mezestoran Dvorište is a Mediterranean-style restaurant with a courtyard at Svetogorska 46 in central Belgrade, Serbia, a short walk from Terazije. The name combines the words for mezze and restaurant with dvorište, the Serbian word for courtyard. It is built around sharing plates and vegetarian-friendly mezze, a format that differs from the meat-centred kafana menus common elsewhere in the city. It is an informal neighbourhood restaurant rather than a chef-led or Michelin venue, so there is no celebrated chef lineage to cite. Signature dishes include mezze platters, grilled meats and salads. The mezze format lets a group order several small dishes, such as dips, salads, cheeses and grilled items, and share them, which suits both vegetarians and meat eaters at the same table. Grilled meats are available for those who want a heavier main course. The dining room is sociable and relaxed, with the courtyard as its defining feature. Seating outdoors in good weather gives a calm, enclosed atmosphere away from the traffic of the surrounding streets, with moderate noise levels and no dress code. Beverages include Serbian wines, beer, soft drinks and rakija, and the sharing style tends to encourage ordering wine by the carafe or bottle for the table. Typical spending is about 2,000-3,500 RSD per person, mid-range for central Belgrade. Reservation difficulty is low. Walk-ins are usually possible, but the venue suggests reserving at the door for courtyard seating on weekends, when the outdoor tables are the first to go. Hours are listed as roughly 11:00 to midnight daily and vary by season, so confirming locally is advisable. The location on Svetogorska is within walking distance of Terazije, Republic Square and the Church of St Sava area is a short taxi or bus ride away, so the restaurant works well as a dinner stop after a day in the centre. Groups and travellers who want to share several dishes, and vegetarians looking for more than a single meat-free option, tend to find the format convenient.
