What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
URBAN taste of orient is celebrated for its absolutely breathtaking views of the Old Bridge, making it a top choice for tourists. While many praise the attentive service and delicious food, particularly breakfast and traditional Bosnian dishes, some find the prices to be on the higher side for the region, and a few note that certain dishes could be more flavorful. The hidden service charge and bread fee have also been points of contention for some diners.
"The menu consists of a mix between Bosnian traditional cuisine and more modern dishes. We loved the crunchy chicken and the meatballs with mashed potatoes. The view is one of the best you will find of the bridge. The staff is very helpful and child friendly. The food is halal and they don’t sell alcohol."

"Very beautiful atmosphere and the view of the bridge is breathtaking. The restaurant is very neat and pretty and the service was elevated. Although a rare sight in Balkan restaurants, there is a price for service. However, for a North American, i don't think it's inappropriate since they gave good service. The food is very tasty and the menu is authentic.
I recommend this place."
Alexandre Rolland-Dery
"I am very surprised many have said the service was poor in the reviews.
In my experience, I was met with great service from the moment I stood outside the door.
I was eating solo and still go a table with view.
The service was super friendly and attentive all the way through.
View is probably the best in Mostar!
Food was really nice too.
The complimentary bread and sour cream was divine!
Price is totally fine if you factor in view and service.
I had an extraordinary experience"
