KAYMAK - a bit of tradition, a bit of Dorćol, and a lot of good food
Belgrade has always had great traditional taverns (kafana) and restaurants, and we all know it is not so easy to find that true blend of delicious food, pleasant atmosphere, and the desire to come back again.
One such restaurant has recently opened in Dorćol. It is called KAYMAK, and behind it are people with nearly four decades of experience in the hospitality industry.
The idea is simple – home-style cooking, quality ingredients, old recipes, and familiar flavors that many of us remember.
The appetizers are a story of their own. Homemade cheeses, kajmak, prosciutto, kulen, and various specialties sourced from small producers in western and eastern Serbia, as well as Vojvodina. It is wonderful when someone cares about where the food comes from, not just how it looks on the plate.
Lovers of stews and simmered dishes will find themselves right at home here. Goulash and mućkalica are always on the menu, and two additional different dishes are prepared daily following traditional recipes.
And the barbecue?
Well, that is a whole other story! Serious, juicy, and prepared just right. And then there is the somewhat forgotten Karađorđe's steak, to which KAYMAK is restoring its former glory — just the kind you used to eat back in the day or heard about from your elders.
KAYMAK also features a charming garden, ideal for a business lunch, a family gathering, or a relaxed get-together with friends.
There is no need to overcomplicate home-style food. It is enough that the ingredients are of high quality, that the chefs know their craft, and that the guest feels welcome.
KAYMAK is a true Belgrade restaurant – with the soul of an old kafana, home-style cooking, and urban charm.
