Alibi Restaurant – Banja Luka

Banja Luka has its stretch of the Vrbas, and everyone who walks it knows every corner has a story. Restaurant Alibi, right by the river on the new promenade, is one of those addresses you usually discover on a walk. A “hidden paradise on the Vrbas”, as locals like to call it, it wins you over at first sight: a terrace on two levels, the warm tones of a homely atmosphere and the Vrbas flowing right next to your table as the most natural backdrop for good food.

International cooking with character

Alibi’s menu is designed for guests who want more than one style of food. Its international kitchen covers every mood: chicken specialities, steaks that deserve attention, pasta and risotto with an Italian spirit, and fresh salads, all prepared the way a good home cook would.

The terrace that makes the difference

What sets Alibi apart from other restaurants on the Vrbas is its two-level terrace: one for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and a part by the promenade for anyone who just wants coffee and the sound of the river with no hurry. That split shows care for different kinds of guests and gives the restaurant a versatility you rarely find. People strolling along the new promenade naturally turn in, and rarely regret it.

Taste & Rate editors’ tip

Book a table on the first level of the terrace in the evening and order one of the main-course salads: the Vrbas at sunset and a well-balanced meal are a combination worth the trip. For coffee and relaxing without any plans, the riverside level is perfect at any time of day. Contact: +387 (0)65 866 760.
