Our Story

The Spirit of
Skadarlija

Named after Belgrade's famous Skadarlija street — the bohemian quarter where artists, poets, and musicians have gathered for over 200 years.

We bring that spirit to Brookfield. At Skadarliya, every dish is prepared with recipes passed down through generations, every evening comes alive with the sounds of traditional Balkan music, and every guest becomes part of the family. This isn't just a restaurant — it's a journey to the heart of Serbia.

The Experience

Live Serbian & Balkan Music

Every Weekend

Close your eyes and you could be on Skadarlija street itself — the accordion playing, glasses clinking, voices singing old Serbian songs into the night.

Every Friday and Saturday evening, our restaurant transforms into a celebration of life, music, and community. Traditional Serbian musicians fill the room with the sounds of the Balkans — from soulful sevdalinka to lively kolo dances. It's not just dinner. It's an evening you'll never forget.
