    Scammed? Iunno, that’s down to interpretation.

    Overcharged? Oh yes, certainly.

  2. If you noticed a different price on the menu before ordering and ended up paying a different amount, that’s one thing. However, if the price was the same on the menu all along, didn’t you read it beforehand?

  3. You definitely paid more than you should have for such portion

    Scammed? Not really, there is a menu and you knew how much you’d spend. It isn’t a secret price or something like that

    Is this some fancy place?

  4. that’s funny on the menu it doesn’t say how many grams of food is in the dish, I would have asked and made a decision based on that.

    You have these tourist trap restaurants all over the world, nothing new

  5. Welcome to Serbia

    An average american or european would kill themself in a day but we serbs are made of steel.

  6. Well you were close to city square so prices for coffe are also a tourist trap but i would not say you got scammed coz prices are writen on site/menu and its there “special dish”

    For restaurants its always about location. In a tourist area you pay tourist prices. Same in any city.

    Locals know cheap and good places, tourists get charged more.

    You didn’t get scammed, you paid the going price for a tourist.

    Don’t worry about it

    In some cheaper restaurants you would get double the portion for that money. Maybe a platter for 3-4 people, but considering it’s the city center I’m not surprised it cost that much

  9. Yes you did, as this can be ordered in other restaurants for half what you paid or slightly more.
    Most restaurants in the city center and even a little after it are overpriced, if you want to enjoy good food and pay reasonable amount visit restaurants outside popular areas like Belgrade Waterfront, Ada or City Center.
    What you need is restourants in areas like Banjica, Vidikovac, MIrijevo etc…
    For example: Zar Mace on Vidikovac, excellent food and very reasonable price. It usually goes for ~1500 to 2000 per person with corba, main menu, desert, few beers and salad.

    Obilićev Venac, Knez Mihajlova, Skadarlija, Stari Gras, that entire part of the city is pricier because it’s visited extensively by both tourists and locals. It’s extremely high traffic so the businesses take advantage of that.

    It is pricier than what I would pay for this meal for sure, but I’m local so I know how to recognise these pricier places. However I know I have fallen for the same thing when I visit different countries.

    Yea, you got overcharged (as in, you unknowingly went into a restaurant that charges more than most would), don’t feel bad about it tho, happens to us all.

    Bruh for that exact price near my apartment you can get 3x times that,you got fleeced in a tourist trap.

  12. Dajte ljudi 3200 dinara za 5 malih ćevapa, prepolovljenu kobasicu i dva zalogaja belog mesa, čista pljačka.

    You were not scammed as everyone would pay the same price but you did overpay for a very small meal eg. for that price I can get 400g ćevapi, 400g leskovački uštipci, 400 sasuages, 200 grilled chicken file, 200 g vešalica and 200g chicken rolls delivered to my place in an hour (Stari Duff)

    I recommend that you avoid fancy places ie. modern looking places, instead look for etno restaurants. These places are decorated in traditional serbian colors and usually have wooden tables, best of all prices are fair. Fast food joints also usually sell good grill (roštilj).

    As for recommendations, I went to “Zavičaj” restaurant and it was good (still a steeper price than usual)
