About us
ELIZABETH
Welcome to Elizabeth – place of taste, elegance and unforgettable moments.
In the heart of Old Belgrade, within the carefully renovated Hotel Bristol, the restaurant Elizabeth brings a combination of refined taste, sophisticated interior and memorable ambience.
Hotel Bristol, the jewel of Art Nouveau architecture from 1912 was one of the first luxury hotels in Belgrade and served as a symbol of a mundane life of the then capital. During its rich history, it hosted diplomats, artists, merchants and military officials, and for decades it was recognized as a place where culture, politics and the business world would meet. After careful restoration, this pearl of architecture is now a part of the Belgrade Waterfront complex, but it still retains the spirit of the past as well as the tradition of cosmopolitan Belgrade.
Our location in authentic neighbourhood of Savamala further emphasizes the uniqueness of Elizabeth. Once a commercial and cultural centre, Savamala was the center of Belgrade’s social life in the 19 th and early 20 th centuries – full of hotels, cafes, galleries and warehouses that pulsated with life on the banks of the Sava River. Today, this historic part of the city is once again becoming the epicentre of the capital, combining Old Belgrade soul with modern rhythm and architecture.
Restaurant Elizabeth therefore stands at the crossroads of epochs – connecting the elegancy of the past century with the modern luxury – making every visit an experience to remember.
EXPERIENCE
Elizabeth Signature Bar by Bruno Vanzan
Exclusive cocktails in Elizabeth carry a stamp of the world-renowned mixology elite – Bruno Vanzan, multiple world champion in flairtending and mixology. His renowned consulting agency BV Holding designed the complete set-up of our bar, while Mr Vanzan himself, together with his assistant Adrian, personally imparted knowledge and philosophy to our team or bartenders and cocktail masters during a two-month training. The result is a bar that stands side by side with the world’s most prestigious addresses.
Our Spirits collection numbers more than 100 carefully selected labels, covering the most
prominent names from all world regions. The offer includes:
The best Scottish single malt whiskeys, including the pride of Elizabeth – the only official Macallan bar in Serbia, with all available bottles of Macallan on the Balkan
exclusive world-class bourbons,
carefully selected whiskeys from India,
authentic and rare Azul Tequilas,
over 20 types of Gin and Brandy, among which Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin – Bruno Vanzan Edition stands out
Elizabeth offers 12 signature cocktails, each of which is conceived as a special emotion in a glass. In addition to them, our team brings the classics to perfections, and guests can always order a cocktail of their choice – whether it’s something they liked from out list or a drink they’ve tried anywhere in the world. Cocktail stations are designed according to Bruno’s standards, with cold stations and programmes for sweet, hot and sour cocktails.
A special pride of Elizabeth is out Bar Lab – a creative workshop in which we produce our own liquors, syrups, edible garnishes and infusions. The most specific among them is the infusion from the sacred Palo Santo tree, from which we make syrup with an authentic smell and a unique character. At Bar Lab, the details that accompany each cocktail are also created – from personalized seals on the ice, to edible chocolate and banana leaf garnishes.
Our philosophy is clear: each cocktail has a carefully selected glass, unique garnish and specific type of ice. With this approach, expertise and readiness of the Elizabeth bar is positioned at the world level and lays the foundation for the goal we set for ourselves – to enter the prestigious list of Top 50 bars in the world.
