Belgrade is a very vibrant city with charming streets, chic restaurants, popular fashion trends and absolutely sweet people!!
Belgrade has been through ALOT with the wars of the 1990's and the NATO bombing yet it's amazing people have been able to be strong and re-build and re-live with sort of a stylish vengance!
Proof of that, is one of the most high end restaurants we have been to in a while around the world.
IRIS NEW BALKAN we are talking about you!
Located on the second floor of a building, Iris is based in an apartment, with a bar upon entering and tables in two rooms. In one room the tables face a big kitchen window where you can see the master chef VANJA PUSKAR and his crew working on your tasty dishes, live.
We, obviously, opted for the table right infront of the kitchen window, not because the chef was absolutly handsome, ofcourse not! ;) or a bit because of that to be honest but mostly to see the master at work.
We decided on the 8 course tasting menu with wine pairing.
We were started with CHEESE- a perfect start for our excited culinary journey, FOREST MEAT- impeccable, SMOKED CARP- absolutely faultless , MEAT TEA- was enjoyably sedative, PIG EARS- unique and memorable, BEEF FILET-was superb, a great mouth feel and definitely our drug of choice, CORNELEAN CHERRY,- sitting naughtly in it's delicate plate waiting to be inserted into our awaiting mouths and boom, it was perfectly sinful, and last but not least the PLUM GNOCCHI- dangerously delicious.
Iris New Balkan Cuisine may be an upscale restaurant with super fine dishes yet very warm and cozy and as inviting as Henri Matisse's - The Diner Table.
Iris New Balkan restaurant is definitley a must go for your visit in Belgrade, not only for the tres unique culinary experience but for the absolutely delicious dishes!!
Recommended with love!
