Tri Sesira
About
Tri Šesira, located in the heart of Belgrade’s bohemian Skadarlija, is a living museum of Serbian tradition and cuisine. Built in 1864, this historic tavern still hosts the legendary tamburáši bands, whose soulful melodies fill the air from midnight to dawn. The menu is a tribute to classic Serbian fare, featuring everything from hearty stews and grilled meats to delicate pastries and homemade rakija. Patrons are invited to experience the warm hospitality of the staff and the intimate, candlelit ambiance that has welcomed generations of locals and travelers alike. Beyond the food and music, Tri Šesira offers a culinary journey through history. Guests can sample the famed “meze” in small portions, enjoy the aromatic “ravne” dough, and indulge in regional sweets such as baklava and bear pies. The restaurant’s décor—traditional wooden furnishings, fresco‑painted walls, and an old‑world kitchen—contributes to a sense of stepping back in time while still feeling like a welcoming home. Visiting Tri Šesira is not just a meal; it’s an evening of cultural immersion, where the rhythm of tamburáši, the clinking of glasses, and laughter form an unforgettable night out—especially during New Year celebrations or a quiet romantic dinner.
