Dva Jelena

On the same street, Dva Jelena is at number 32 and dates itself as a restaurant to 1832. Its dining rooms, terraces and tambura music place it in the kafana tradition: a place to sit for a while, order dishes for the table and let the evening run on. Belgrade’s tourism office lists Dva Jelena among Skadarlija’s oldest restaurants, alongside Tri šešira, though each business has its own menu and atmosphere.

Its Serbian menu includes grilled meats, dishes cooked under a sač, cured meats and cheeses, as well as salads and desserts. Reviews often highlight the size of the venue, music and celebratory atmosphere; critical comments describe uneven experiences with preparation, service and the price of some extras. It is not an automatic choice for anyone seeking a quiet meal or a tight budget: read the menu, ask about music and confirm charges before ordering.

The address is a few steps from Tri šešira and within walking distance of Trg Republike through the central streets. Listings show service into the night and recommend booking at busy times; the restaurant offers phone contact and a reservation channel. Dva Jelena suits a group dinner where atmosphere is part of the plan, while Tri šešira has a highly visible official menu and a history the business dates to 1864. In both cases, the experience depends on whether you want a kafana performance or a quiet dinner.
