    For Danube dining, take a supper cruise on the Balkan Princess, a boat-restaurant that serves plenty of fish and meat, plus cocktails and other drinks from the bar. Since the boat only sails when there's a crowd, you may be dining stationary, though there's no surcharge if so.

  7. Mehana Chiflika

    The enormous Chiflika is an excellent mehana with traditional furnishings, live music and a wide range of grilled meats. It's a place for hearty eaters, and the rustic charm is only enhanced by the sight of some entrees being served up on what are essentially chipped-off tree stumps.
