Aleksander Review

Aleksander
$$-$$$, Eastern European, The Pijp
User Rating: ***** 4.6
Fodor's Review:
With walls dense with knickknacks and paintings evoking the Balkans, this Dalmatian grill sums up the often forgotten spirit of this region, where hospitality and food -- particularly grilled meats and fish -- reign supreme. Walking in, you may be offered a complimentary shot of the house slivovitz, a plum-based hard liquor. Unless you want to rent the whole restaurant for a celebration, things remain fairly quiet here: the clientele is mostly mature locals out for a quiet evening and to take advantage of the three-course daily special for EUR 15.

Yugo and enjoy the food....I did!!
Posted by Andrew from Chester, UK on 9/3/06
My wife and I ate at Aleksander for the first time only 3 days ago and we loved it! As lovers of Mediterrean and middle-eastern food (particularly grilled meats) the food was right up our street. Whilst there were only 2 other couples in on the night we ate there, the atmosphere was pleasant and the service exemplary. If, like us, you've ever visited any of the former Yugoslav republics you will love this restaurant as it is very evocative of past summer holidays, particularly those spent in Croatia. Hvala!RATING: 4.6
