Restaurant in Belgrade, Serbia
Creative dining that punches above its price.
Enso holds a Michelin Plate for both 2024 and 2025, making it one of Belgrade's clearest arguments for creative dining at a mid-range price. At €€, it delivers considered, interpretive cooking that most European capitals would charge considerably more for. A well-judged choice for a date or celebration dinner in central Belgrade, with a 4.7 rating across 523 reviews to back it.
If you are planning a date night, a quiet celebration, or a meal where the food genuinely needs to earn attention, Enso at Mitropolita Petra 8 is one of Belgrade's clearer answers in the mid-range creative bracket. It holds a Michelin Plate for both 2024 and 2025, which in a city where the Michelin guide is still a relatively recent arrival carries real weight. At a €€ price point, it delivers the kind of considered, creative cooking that in most Western European capitals would cost you considerably more. Book for a weekday dinner if you want the room at its quietest; weekend evenings fill with a local crowd that treats this as a go-to for occasions worth marking.
Enso is a creative restaurant in central Belgrade with a 4.7 rating across 523 Google reviews — a score that reflects consistent execution rather than a single viral moment. The Michelin Plate recognition in consecutive years signals that inspectors have found the cooking to meet a standard worth noting, even if it has not yet crossed into starred territory. For Belgrade's dining scene, where serious creative cooking at accessible prices is not as common as it should be, that distinction matters to anyone trying to decide whether to spend their evening here or somewhere safer and more obvious.
The creative cuisine format means the kitchen is working with interpretation rather than tradition as its anchor. Expect plates that take seasonal or regional ingredients and reframe them rather than simply presenting them in their familiar form. This is the kind of cooking that rewards diners who pay attention at the table. It is not the format for anyone who wants a reliable classic done exactly as expected , for that, venues like Bela Reka or Comunale Caffè e Cucina in Belgrade will suit better. But for a special occasion where the food itself is the point, Enso earns its place in the conversation.
The broader Belgrade creative dining scene gives useful context here. Internationally, creative restaurants at comparable ambition levels , think Jordnær in Gentofte or Steirereck im Stadtpark in Vienna , operate at price points that require a significant financial commitment. Enso at €€ is not trying to be those restaurants, but the two consecutive Michelin Plates confirm that the kitchen is not simply going through motions either. Within Belgrade specifically, it sits in a small group of addresses where craft is genuinely present in the cooking. You can also explore other strong creative options in the region, such as Fleur de Sel in Novi Slankamen, if you are willing to travel slightly further for a comparable level of ambition.
€€ pricing is the single most compelling argument for booking Enso when the occasion calls for something beyond an ordinary dinner. A Michelin-recognised creative restaurant at this price tier in a European capital is not a common combination. In Paris, the equivalent format at restaurants like Arpège or Alléno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen costs multiples of what Enso charges. Barcelona's Cocina Hermanos Torres and Quique Dacosta in Dénia operate on a different financial scale entirely. The value proposition here is real, not relative.
For a date or a celebration dinner, the creative format works well because each course gives the table something to react to and discuss. The 4.7 rating across more than 500 reviews suggests the kitchen delivers this consistently rather than only on good days, which matters when you are choosing somewhere for an evening that has significance attached to it. The address in central Belgrade also means it integrates easily into an evening that starts or ends elsewhere , Belgrade's bar scene is strong enough to bookend a dinner here without much planning.
If you are new to Belgrade or building an itinerary around its food scene, pairing Enso with a visit to Homa across two evenings gives a reasonable picture of what the city's better restaurants are doing right now. For a fuller picture of what Belgrade has to offer, our full Belgrade restaurants guide covers the range from budget to high end, and our Belgrade hotels guide can help with where to stay nearby. If you are planning around more than food, the Belgrade experiences guide and Belgrade wineries guide fill out the picture further.
Booking at Enso is easy relative to Belgrade's few more in-demand addresses. The Michelin Plate recognition means weekends do fill, particularly Friday and Saturday evenings, but this is not a restaurant where you need to plan a month in advance. A few days' notice is typically enough for a weekday table; book a week ahead if your date falls on a Saturday and the occasion genuinely matters. Weekday evenings offer a calmer room and, given the creative format, that tends to improve the experience. The restaurant sits in the €€ tier, so the financial commitment is modest enough that booking and then adjusting is a low-risk approach if your plans are still forming.
For context on the city's wider restaurant range and how Enso fits within it, our Belgrade restaurants guide is the clearest starting point. If you are comparing creative dining options across the region rather than just within Belgrade, the work being done at JAN in Munich gives a useful European benchmark for what this category can look like at higher price points.

Key differences to consider before you reserve.
Yes, and the €€ price point makes it a low-risk solo splurge. A Michelin Plate-recognised creative menu gives solo diners something to focus on beyond the social dynamic. It is worth calling ahead to confirm counter or single-seat availability, as smaller tables tend to fill last.
Small groups of 4–6 are the practical ceiling for a comfortable experience at a creative restaurant of this format. For larger parties, confirm directly with the venue at Mitropolita Petra 8 — shared menus and pacing are factors worth discussing before you arrive with eight people expecting flexibility.
Enso holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025, which signals consistent kitchen quality rather than a flash-in-the-pan reputation. The €€ pricing means you are getting Michelin-level attention at well below what comparable recognition costs in Western Europe. Come with an appetite for creative formats rather than a traditional à la carte approach.
At €€ pricing and with two consecutive Michelin Plate recognitions backing the kitchen, a structured menu format here represents strong value by any European benchmark. If you prefer to order freely rather than follow a set progression, check the current format when booking — creative restaurants at this level often lean toward chef-led sequences.
Book at least one week out for weeknights; aim for two weeks if you are targeting a Friday or Saturday. The Michelin Plate recognition has raised Enso's profile, and weekend slots fill faster than Belgrade's dining reputation might suggest. Last-minute tables do appear midweek.
Bar seating availability depends on the physical layout, which is not confirmed in current records. Contact the restaurant at Mitropolita Petra 8 directly to ask — at a Michelin Plate creative venue in this price range, it is worth the call rather than assuming walk-in bar access on a busy evening.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
