Fleur de Sel in Šapat winery is a destination restaurant worth travelling for. The food was exceptional from start to finish and easily among the finest meals I have ever had in Serbia. We began with the beef tartare and warm goose liver, both beautifully executed. The tartare was perfectly seasoned, while the foie gras was rich without being overwhelming. The Danube pike-perch with Jerusalem artichoke was elegant and showcased local ingredients at their best, and the pork neck on celeriac purée was wonderfully tender and deeply flavourful. Even the desserts were excellent, providing a fitting conclusion to a memorable meal. We paired the dinner with Atila 2024 from the estate, which complemented the menu beautifully and proved that the winery is producing wines worthy of the kitchen. Service was exactly as one would hope for at a restaurant of this calibre: polished, knowledgeable, attentive without ever becoming intrusive. The only aspect that didn't quite match the overall experience was the interior. Considering the spectacular vineyard setting overlooking the Danube and the outstanding quality of the cuisine, the décor feels unnecessarily nouveau riche and somewhat kitsch. A more understated, elegant design would allow both the food and the magnificent location to take centre stage. That said, this is a minor criticism. For anyone who appreciates serious cooking and excellent local wines, Fleur de Sel is one of Serbia's true culinary destinations.

It was absolutely amazing. The host was very friendly and had some nice stories about the environment. We had the local wine pairing wich was on point. Also the sauces were out of this world. All of this with an amazing view of the vineyards. We would not be surprised if they have two stars soon. After dinner we also had a tour though the restaurant and wine cellar wi h was very nice. Bought a box of wine as well.

Delicious food. Excellent wine pairing. Amazing service. Strongly recommend visiting to experience French fine dining with a Serbian twist. From the moment of entry to seating and dining you will be treated in an excellent manner and food presented in an intricate-artistic manner.

One word… Excellence! From the moment we walked in, everything was performed like a theater play. Every movement by the waiter was flawless, and each dish was introduced with a captivating story rooted in local and national tradition. Every glass was paired with its own wine, and every plate had its story to tell. Personally, I highly recommend choosing the wine pairing, as it truly reveals the flavors the Chef intended. I would also recommend taking their in-house wines for pairing, as they have beautiful notes. Both “Fleur De Sel” and “Šapat” restaurants are stunning. Toward the end of the evening, the Head Chef personally greeted the guests and shared a few words, embodying the spirit of a true host. This was followed by a guided walk through the winery cellar with their sommelier. To finish the experience, we received a thoughtful gift from the Chef: a personalized menu signed by him. The road to the restaurant is new and well maintained, kept clear of ice and snow. Without a doubt, this is a destination worth visiting! And an experience deserving of at least 2 Michelin stars And a side compliment, before we started dining, the waiter asked if we had any alergies!

Fleur de Sel is a newly renovated restaurant set in a picturesque winemaking region just outside Belgrade. It’s part of the Šapat winery, perched on a hill above the Danube River, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside. We opted for the chef’s surprise tasting menu. While the presentation and execution were generally solid, the food itself was underwhelming. One dish in particular—local peas—was so oversalted it was barely edible. More importantly, not a single dish stood out as particularly memorable or impressive, which is disappointing given the restaurant’s fine dining aspirations and Michellin star rating. The highlight of the experience was the wine list. Exceptionally curated, it features a selection of rare and premium labels, many of which are not even available on the Serbian market. This alone might have somewhat saved the whole experience. However, the biggest issue—and the restaurant’s ultimate downfall—is the pricing. The tasting menu, priced at 20,000 dinars (around €170 or US$200), is exorbitant. The ingredients used—langoustines, duck, local Danube fish, and a touch of inexpensive caviar—are all fairly common and accessible. There’s nothing especially luxurious, exclusive or unique to justify such a high price point for the tasting menu. Would I return or recommend Fleur de Sel? Unfortunately, no. The experience simply does not deliver value for money. If the tasting menu were priced more appropriately—perhaps in the €50–60 range—it could be a pleasant option for those seeking a fine dining setting in a beautiful location. But as it stands, it falls short of expectations and certainly doesn’t reach Michelin star standards in my view.
