The Four Rooms of Mrs. Safija

“The Four Rooms of Mrs. Safija” comprises a restaurant, a wine and cocktail bar, a lounge, and a flower-filled summer garden. The first venue of its kind in Bosnia and Herzegovina “Four Rooms” offers an unforgettable ambience which celebrates the legend of a forbidden love affair between beautiful Safija from Sarajevo and Johan, an Austrian Count, during the transition from Turkish to Austro-Hungarian rule.
Safija’s house was built in 1910 as a monument to love, beauty and fortitude. Our modern designers have crafted the interior with exceptional care, paying attention to every single millimeter of the past embedded in the walls of Mrs. Safija’s rooms. The restoration has left the atmosphere in the four rooms completely intact, which was our ultimate objective. 
While all of the rooms have been decorated with a specific purpose in mind, their history has nevertheless been preserved. The oriental-style architecture and the interiors decorated with fretwork and filled with an interesting and eclectic mix of ornaments, blend into a unique ethnographic display.

In addition to our regular menu, we are happy to fulfill special requests that you may have, such as:

• Social events catering
• Weddings
• Business meetings
• Specialty and theme events (slow food gastro show)
• Private parties

For such occasions, our culinary team will create individual dishes, original menus, and specially selected wine lists and cocktails. You will be able to decide which dishes best suit your requirements, and whether they will be served as a hot-cold buffet or as a sit-down meal, or if the simplicity of our rich finger food will better suit your special occasion.
If you would like to entertain guests at home, the head of Safija’s culinary team can fulfill that wish and prepare dishes in your own kitchen and serve your guests with the tact and discretion that are the hallmark of friendly staff.
