Znak Pitanja, the oldest inn in Belgrade, stands as a city symbol. Built in 1823 as a property of Prince Miloš Obrenović and constructed by masters from Greece in the Balkan style, it has seen several name changes since 1878. Initially named "At the Shepherd's" and later "At the Cathedral Church", it adopted its current name, symbolised by a question mark, as a temporary measure that became permanent. The inn's restaurant is famed for its atmosphere and charm, making it a favourite haunt for Serbian bohemians. The menu features national cuisine specialities and excellent drinks. The restaurant boasts two open gardens, providing an ideal setting for a delightful experience, with some tables and garden areas offering a spectacular view of the Cathedral Church of St Michael the Archangel.

Dining
The culinary landscape in Belgrade is as diverse as the city itself, blending Mediterranean, Austrian, Turkish, and Hungarian influences into an exciting gastronomic mosaic. Skadarlija, the city's Bohemian quarter, is home to some of the finest restaurants. The menus here are dominated by meat in all its forms — from Serbian sausages and smoked meats to veal, lamb, and spit-roasts, often accompanied by onions, red peppers, and sauerkraut. Vegetarians might find options limited in this meat-centric city. Thanks to its proximity to the Danube and Sava rivers, fish also plays a significant role in local cuisine. Belgrade's floating restaurants offer a unique dining experience, where you can savour freshly caught carp, perch, and catfish.
