This restaurant, tucked away in Habibullah Road, offers delicious European fare from the Balkan region to the Mediterranean. Yet, somehow, Chef Bogdan makes you feel right at home!

What Makes It Awesome

The setting is quite simple, with wooden seating and you can watch your favourite chef in action with a clear view of the kitchen as soon as you get here. At night the entire place is illuminated with hanging lanterns — perfect for a date with bae! While the ambience seemed a bit simplistic, the food had a different story to tell.

We tried the Fillet Mignon With Blue Cheese Sauce— a must-have for those who love  succulent chunks of meat with a strongly flavoured creamy sauce. You could also dig in to the Steak and Hunter’s Steak which is simmered for hours (Balkan style). The chef also recommends Roasted Pumpkin Potage with Ginger & Basil dressing — a creamy vegetarian soup packed with delicious flavour.

If you’ve got a sweet tooth (or even if you don’t, tbh) do not miss out on dessert! The Dark Mousse La Chocolate is our top pick! Made with Belgium Dark (65 per cent), it’s not too bitter and not too sweet. Just how we like it. Add some cranberry sauce for that dash of tart, topped with roasted almonds. You’re in for a treat and you’re probably not going to be sharing this with your date. All in all, we’re definitely going back here for the food. Then again, Chef Bogdan’s tales of Serbia and their love for food is just as inviting.

Pro-Tip

Opt for the Romantic Candle Light experience for a 7-course meal  and you won’t be disappointed. They even set up the romantic atmosphere with balloons, candles, and flowers, so what’s not to love?
