Sarajevo · The House of Spite
When Austro-Hungarian authorities wanted the site for City Hall, the owner refused to sell until his house was carried brick by brick across the Miljacka — and a bag of gold coins was paid. He watched the move from the bridge, smoking his pipe. A national restaurant since, its terrace now looks straight across the river at the very Vijećnica it once blocked; bosanski lonac, begova čorba, and the taste of pure obstinacy.
Best for
One long, unhurried dinner built around what came in that day.
Not for
À la carte cravings, large groups, or a quick bite between sights.
In brief
A place we chose on the route, independently run. The hosts hold the dates and arrange it with you directly — no platform between you and the house.

Part of a hosted journey
The Water Road is seven days in Bosnia & Herzegovina for your own group of four to six, hosted by the owners.
