Konoba & Wine Bar Tata Mata
“Tata mata” is a well-known Serbian saying used to describe excellence. With that in mind, we chose the name in 2015, when we opened our first restaurant. A classic Dalmatian and seafood cuisine is the foundation of our creation, while modern cooking techniques provide a way for us to be leaders in the rich Belgrade restaurant scene.
Our first restaurant was at Dalmatinska 98, in one of the few remaining pre-war houses with a garden, whose shine and dignity we restored with a complete renovation. The house belonged to the well-known Serbian and Yugoslav director, actor and professor at the Academy of Dramatic Arts, whose stage bears his name today, Mata Milošević. It was Mata’s name that was our first guiding star. Wishing to preserve his memory and not harm his reputation, we nevertheless chose excellence, which over time we managed to achieve.
