It's difficult to add something new about a place which has long since become the symbol of Zemun: located on the Danube shore, with a tradition of over one century, this is probably the most popular fish restaurant in the city. At one time a tavern, Šaran is today an elegant restaurant with a large garden and beautiful terrace overlooking the river.

If you're a fan of this cuisine and haven't visited Šaran, you don't know what you're missing: the menu lists numerous tempting fish specialties, both the river and sea version, but also several beefsteak and turkey/chicken based dishes for those who prefer meat. After enjoying the couver consisting of a tasty cheese, garlic and parsley spread, definitely try the excellent fish broth served in a small copper cauldron, mildly spiced and rich with white fish pieces. For the entrée, we recommend the delicious fish pate prepared according to a traditional recipe and nicely served with toast sprinkled with olive oil, rocket salad and cherry tomatoes.

Staying true to the river setting, we chose among the main courses two new specialties (although the authentic fish stew is also an interesting idea): pike perch in a smoked cheese sauce, baked in the oven and served in earthenware; and tasty breaded and fried hot carp steaks, topped with aromatic hot sauce and likewise served in earthenware.

Our favorite among desserts is chocolate mousse, although there are numerous other sweets on offer. Prices are in accordance with the restaurant's reputation and quality; the service is professional (although it could be a bit more polite), reservations are a must, especially during lunch hour.

Šaran is a unique place which is not only the soul of Zemun, as they like to say here, but also its gastronomic heart.
