"Novi Sad's best table on the data — book Project 72 for modern Serbian fusion, a deep Serbian wine list and a Gault&Millau listing."
Project 72 Wine & Deli is the table Novi Sad ranks first, and it backs the reputation with a place in the Gault&Millau guide. The kitchen cooks a modern fusion of traditional Serbian dishes and contemporary technique, leaning on the rich agricultural produce of Vojvodina. It is the best of fine dining in Novi Sad outside the capital, paired with a wine programme that is the real signature of the house.
The menu changes with the season and the market, each plate built from fresh, locally sourced ingredients and finished with care. The defining feature is the cellar: more than 200 wines, many of them Serbian, chosen to pair through the meal — the “Wine & Deli” in the name is earned. Seating is limited and the cooking precise, so a full dinner with pairings sits in the $$$ range. This is contemporary fine dining rooted in the region rather than imported wholesale.
The room is intimate, with relatively few seats, which makes booking ahead essential and the experience personal. The atmosphere is warm rather than stiff, and the service knows the wine list cold — the pairings are where the staff earn their reputation. It suits a special dinner, an anniversary or a meal where the wine is half the point. Reserve in advance: the limited covers fill, and walk-in space is rare.
For an anniversary, a special dinner or a wine-led evening in Vojvodina, Project 72 is Novi Sad's first choice. A natural anniversary and impress-clients table in the city.
Not for a casual walk-in or a quick bite — Project 72 has limited seating, books ahead, and is built around a tasting-led, wine-paired dinner rather than a fast meal.
Project 72 Wine & Deli is in central Novi Sad, Serbia; with limited seating it is best to reserve ahead by phone or through its Facebook page.
