The story
SALAŠ 137 in Čenej delivers authentic Vojvodina cuisine just beyond the Novi Sad city limits. The kitchen anchors its menu in the agricultural rhythms of the surrounding countryside. A Gault&Millau jury awarded the establishment 13.5 points for balancing rustic warmth with exacting technique. Cooks prepare clear broths with homemade dumplings that rely on precise timing rather than heavy seasoning. The dining room reflects this grounded philosophy through simple wooden tables and direct sightlines to the working farmyard.
Appetizers feature smoked tongue alongside breaded pork knuckle croquettes served with pickled cucumbers and fresh horseradish. The main courses carry the inn’s distinct character through slow braised meats and handcrafted pasta. Guests regularly order perkelt paired with Turoš čusa, where tender beef meets creamy cheese noodles in a rich reduction. Roasted pork with crispy skin appears alongside Olivier salad and oven potatoes, while Čenej sarma arrives wrapped in fermented cabbage leaves.
Visitors enter a historic salaš that has hosted locals for generations without altering its core architecture. The complex includes thirteen guest rooms finished in an Alt Deutsche style featuring large bathtubs and private bathrooms. Evening meals often accompany live folk music from the Vojvodina region, keeping the dining pace unhurried. Outdoor grounds offer walking paths and a dedicated horse riding school for guests seeking quiet recreation.
