The boat
From early morning
The fishermen are at sea from dawn, and sometimes from the night before. What they will bring is decided not by an order but by the sea: that is why the daily offer takes shape only after their return.
The group kitchen
One day at Ribarsko Selo.
From the morning preparations and the arrival of the fresh catch to dinner by the sea, look into the rhythm of the place where the whole story began.
§ 01The journey
From boat to plate, six steps.
Six steps join the morning catch to lunch or dinner the same day. Time is not measured with a stopwatch: the rhythm is set by the sea, the arrival of the boats and careful preparation.
The pier
Between eleven and noon
The boats come alongside the pier at Žanjice and bring in the morning catch. Only then does the day show what the sea has offered, and the fish that continues towards our kitchens is chosen.
Ice
On arrival
The catch is sorted and carefully laid on ice to keep its freshness and quality. Fish travelling to the other locations is transported whole, under controlled conditions.
The road
The same day
Part of the catch stays in Boka, while the rest continues to the other addresses. Whatever the distance, the goal is the same: to reach the kitchen fresh and ready for preparation.
The kitchen
On arrival
The fish is cleaned, prepared and assigned to the daily offer: for the grill, the oven, buzara or the other specialities of the house. That is when what will be available for lunch and dinner is confirmed.
The plate
For lunch or dinner
The journey that began at sea ends at the table the same day. What is served is what arrived fresh: simply prepared, with respect for the sea.
§ 02The same day
From the sea to the table, the same day.
The morning catch does not wait for the next day: it is prepared and served through lunch and dinner, while its freshness is at its peak.
A whole fish ends its journey in front of the guest, where it is carefully filleted by hand at the table. From the sea to the plate, with no unnecessary steps.
§ 03Gardens and growers
The sea on the plate. Luštica beside it.
On the Ribarsko Selo estate, directly behind the kitchen, there are gardens where chard, tomato, herbs and salad vegetables ripen with the season. What does not come from our gardens, we choose carefully from local producers.
So beside the fresh fish come flavours that belong to the same landscape: chard and potato, Luštica olives, Njeguški cheese and air dried ham. Simple, fresh produce is prepared to traditional coastal recipes, with no need to be more than what it is.
- The gardens
- On the Ribarsko Selo estate, directly behind the kitchen.
- Seasonal vegetables
- Chard, tomato, herbs and salad greens.
- Flavours of the hinterland
- Njeguški cheese, air dried ham and olives from Luštica.
- Local origin
- Produce from our own gardens and from carefully chosen local producers.
§ 04Wine
Wine as part of every table.
Carefully selected local and international wines follow the kitchen at all of our addresses. The sommeliers shape their recommendation around the chosen dish, the daily offer and the guest’s taste: from light wines beside fresh fish and seafood to fuller labels beside the meat specialities. Because the right wine is not an addition to dinner, but part of the whole experience.
§ 05Belgrade
The flavours of Boka at the Belgrade table.
Malo Ribarsko Selo in Belgrade carries the tradition of the coastal kitchen on at two different addresses. Fresh fish and seafood arrive from Montenegro every day, keeping the quality and authenticity the concept is built on.
The menu carries the signature specialities: buzara, black risotto, whole fish and octopus from the oven. The offer of fresh fish follows availability and changes with what arrives that day. Two addresses, each with its own rhythm, joined by fresh produce, coastal recipes and a warm welcome.
Both sit 307 km from the pier as the air line runs, within ten metres of each other.
- Galerija, Belgrade WaterfrontMalo Ribarsko Selo · Belgrade, GalerijaA contemporary, dynamic address on the bank of the Sava: for lunch during the day, dinner or a pause from the city rhythm.
- Neimarova, VračarMalo Ribarsko Selo · Belgrade, VračarA warmer room full of character, known for the lighthouse at the centre of the restaurant, live music and black risotto as one of the kitchen’s hallmarks.
§ 06Menu
When the menu follows the sea.
The menu joins the signature specialities of the house with an offer shaped each day by the fresh catch. Bread from the sač, air dried ham and Njeguški cheese, Luštica olives, sides from the garden and the favourite desserts stay a familiar part of the table.
The offer of fish and seafood follows what the boats bring that morning. Only when the catch arrives is the best preparation chosen: whole fish in salt, on the grill or from the oven, vongole in pasta or buzara, tuna as tartare or carpaccio. The species, size and quantity of the catch decide what will be on the table that day.
At Špilja, in the Luštica Bay marina, this approach finds its simplest expression. Fresh Adriatic fish is prepared on the grill or in the oven, beside carefully chosen local white wines. When the produce is exceptional, it needs very little.
Specialities of the house
- Bread from the sač and fish pâté
- Air dried ham and Njeguški cheese
- Olives from Luštica
- Creamed chard, garden vegetables and hand cut chips
- Doughnuts and apple pie
From the daily catch
- Fresh fish, whole or prepared by size
- Fish in salt, off the grill or from the oven
- Buzara, mussels, vongole and prawns
- Black risotto and pasta with vongole
- Tuna tartare, carpaccio and marinated anchovies
This is only part of the offer. The current menu, prices and the day’s selection of fresh fish are available at the restaurant.
§ 07The standard
What we never depart from.
Freshness is not taken for granted: it is confirmed every day by the choice of produce, the way it is prepared and the care at the table.
- We serve what is available and fresh.The offer of fish follows the daily catch, so certain species cannot always be guaranteed in advance.
- We make no compromises on origin and quality.When something is not there in the quality we expect, we do not offer it that day.
- We respect the produce.Coastal recipes, simple preparation and measured combinations leave room for the true taste of fish and seafood.
- We nurture the service at the table.A whole fish is carefully filleted in front of the guest, as the closing part of the experience.
- Every location has its own character.A city restaurant, a marina or a beach club each ask for a different rhythm, but the standard of produce, preparation and service stays the same.
- We answer for every plate.From the choice of produce to the moment of serving, quality is our most important promise.
Different addresses and different concepts: the same attitude to what we put on the table.
