A Mediterranean-style restaurant with a courtyard on Svetogorska street, a short walk from Terazije, suited to sharing plates and vegetarian-friendly mezze.
Mezestoran Dvorište is a Mediterranean-style restaurant with a courtyard at Svetogorska 46 in central Belgrade, a short walk from Terazije. The name combines meze, the small-plate tradition of the eastern Mediterranean and Balkans, with dvorište, the Serbian word for courtyard. The restaurant is suited to sharing plates and is a good option for vegetarian-friendly eating, offering an alternative to the grill-centred menus that dominate Serbian dining. The cuisine is Mediterranean mezze with some grilled dishes, and there is no Michelin or chef-lineage context. Signature items are mezze platters, grilled meats and salads. The mezze platters are the natural order for groups, allowing several dishes to be sampled, while grilled meats are available for diners who want something more substantial. The dining room character is informal and sociable, and the courtyard is the main attraction in warm weather, giving a more enclosed and quieter feel than street-front restaurants. There is no dress code, and the noise level is moderate. Typical spending is about 2,000-3,500 RSD per person, placing it in the moderate bracket for central Belgrade. Drinks include Serbian wine, beer and rakija, which suit the mezze format; the list should be checked on site. Opening is typically 11:00 to 24:00 daily, varying by season, and should be confirmed by phone or at the door. Reservations are generally simple. Walk-in seating is possible, and the guidance is to reserve at the door for courtyard seating on weekends, since no phone number is listed. The Svetogorska location is a little away from the pedestrian streets, which keeps crowds lighter than around Knez Mihailova. It suits visitors in Belgrade, Serbia who want an easy sharing-style dinner close to Terazije and the main hotels, or who are travelling with mixed dietary needs.
