Šešir Moj

Šešir Moj (My Hat) is a Serbian tavern at Skadarska 21 in the Skadarlija quarter of Stari Grad, Belgrade, a few doors up the cobbled street from Tri Šešira. It occupies a period house with a courtyard terrace and positions itself as a quieter alternative on a street otherwise known for loud evening music. The cuisine is traditional Serbian grill-based cooking, with no Michelin or chef-lineage context; the appeal is the setting and a menu that matches its neighbours. Signature dishes include a mixed grill, ćevapi, sarma (cabbage rolls) and domestic sausages, the last being a good choice for diners who want to try Serbian charcuterie-style dishes alongside the standard grilled meats. The dining room character is relaxed and traditional. The courtyard terrace gives a more enclosed feel than the street-front tables of busier kafanas, with a noise level that is generally lower, though Skadarlija as a whole remains lively after dark. There is no dress code. Typical spending is about 2,300-4,200 RSD per person, slightly below some neighbours. Drinks follow kafana convention, with rakija, Serbian beer and local wines, and no distinctive cellar programme. Reservations are not usually difficult. Walk-in seating is typically possible, and for weekend evenings the guidance is to reserve at the door, since no phone number is listed. Arriving earlier in the evening improves the chance of a courtyard table. The location, a short walk from Republic Square and Knez Mihailova, makes it easy to combine with a stroll through Skadarlija, and its calmer pace makes it a reasonable choice for families or visitors who find the busiest Skadarska restaurants overwhelming. A meal here suits travellers in Belgrade, Serbia who want the street's historic setting without the loudest entertainment.
