5 Star Dinner Brings Together Belgrade's Rising Culinary Stars for a Good Cause

On 25 September, Restaurant Legat hosted the latest edition of 5 Star Dinner, bringing together five young chefs from Belgrade's dynamic culinary scene for an evening dedicated to creativity, collaboration and social responsibility.

This year's edition had a strong JRE presence, with four JRE chefs joining the kitchen: Ivan Tasić of Salon 1905, Vladimir Kučera of Delirium Silence, Anđela Risimić of S5 by Angie, and Marko Đerić of Langouste . Together with host chef Milorad Božić, they created a carefully curated multi-course dinner in support of SOS Children's Villages Serbia .

A Menu Led by Young Talent

The evening showcased the skill and imagination of a new generation of Serbian chefs, with each course paired with selected Serbian wines.

Ivan Tasić presented Runaway Rabbit , a refined dish featuring confit rabbit, carrot cream and rabbit consommé. Vladimir Kučera followed with butter-poached river trout accompanied by Pirot kashkaval foam, spinach sauce and celery cream.

The menu continued with Anđela Risimić's Divine Comedy , a handmade pumpkin pasta filled with confit duck, complemented by pumpkin velouté, paprika and sour cherry reduction, and pickled hazelnuts. Marko Đerić concluded the savoury courses with Lamb in the Garden , combining charcoal-grilled lamb ribs, miso eggplant, herb hollandaise and burnt lemon powder.

The dinner ended with a collaborative dessert course prepared by all participating chefs, bringing the evening to a memorable close.

Gastronomy with Purpose

Beyond the food and wine, 5 Star Dinner once again showed how hospitality can bring people together for a meaningful cause. Through the support of chefs, sommeliers, partners, wineries and guests, the evening contributed to the work of SOS Children's Villages Serbia.

For JRE Serbia, the event was a proud moment of collaboration, with four member chefs contributing their talent to an evening that celebrated excellence, generosity and the power of gastronomy to make a difference.
