"Very tasty food, very big portions, so good taste of meat👌 our recommendation if you will be in Sarajevo ❤️"
Antonina Fukleva
"One of those places where there is always a wait for a free seat at lunchtime. We came here on a recommendation. The restaurant is located on the bank of the river. It has a huge garden which is closed in winter. The atmosphere is interesting, a lot of effort has been put into it. The service is fast. The food is ok, I've eaten better, but I didn't regret coming here. We were lucky, we didn't have to wait long for a seat, even after leaving the restaurant, a crowd of people were standing in line to enter. It's too busy for my taste.
The service is fast and does well under the circumstances."

The meat are very fresh, almost like it just came from the butcher, there are no traces of the food beinh frozen at any point.
The vegatables also taste good and fresh, same here, its just has if they where out hand picking it for your meal.
The only resson i am removing a star is because it seems generaly accepted to smoke inside"
