‘?'
This 19th-century tavern is located close to the Orthodox Cathedral and its unusual ‘?' name dates back well over 100 years when the proprietor had to swiftly remove the sign to avoid the wrath of the church who didn't like the proximity of the tavern distracting would-be worshippers. The temporary name has been used ever since. It's popular with Serbians and serves a great traditional menu.
