Gušti Mora: Award-Winning Coastal Cuisine in Belgrade

Coastal traditions in the capital

Gušti Mora has anchored itself as one of Belgrade’s most reliable destinations for coastal cuisine over the last twenty years. The Gault & Millau guide awarded it a 13.5 score this year, noting its steady commitment to shoreline cooking far from the coast. Each morning the team sources fresh fish and premium shellfish specifically for that day’s service. Diners simply ask the waitstaff about those daily catches, allowing the kitchen to adjust the menu around what actually reached the market.

Signature seafood preparations

The cold starters feature a prawn tartare paired with crispy toasted unleavened bread, while warm options lean toward a crab cocktail or a rich creamy risotto. Sea bass, sea bream, and whole fish baked in salt form the backbone of the main course lineup. The monkfish tail arrives perfectly seared, and the St. Jacques shellfish au gratin draws consistent praise. For those preferring mollusks, the grilled octopus rests on boiled potatoes with arugula and radicchio, finished with a generous pour of extra virgin olive oil.

A cellar you can see through the door

Guests notice the extensive wine collection immediately upon entering, where rows of bottles line the entrance wall. The pairing program complements the heavy focus on coastal cuisine, offering both classic maritime selections and unexpected varieties. When the savory courses conclude, the kitchen serves either a traditional tiramisu or a lighter hazelnut parfait. This straightforward approach to wine and dessert lets the primary ingredients carry the final impression.
