The restaurant is named after the area code of that city, 016, located in Southern Serbia. The city of Leskovac, for those who are not familiar, is known for hosting one of the largest grilled meats festivals in the world. Serbia’s very rich culture of food, family and tradition brought on the need for a restaurant that reflects those same values for the Serbian (and American) community of Chicago.

We are known for creating beautiful and exciting experiences through the food and drinks that we prepare. Our food is prepared with traditional methods and local midwest ingredients. Some of these items include charcoal grilled and smoked meats, savory pastries (a.k.a Burek) and very popular Cevapi (grilled beef sausage). Our beverages stand out too, from Serbian imported beers, wines and brandies (a.k.a Rakia).

016 Restaurant stands out from the community of Eastern European restaurants because it offers an all inclusive experience that anyone can understand and enjoy. We are located just north of Lincoln Square plaza on Lincoln Avenue. We invite you to come in and experience Serbian food and culture in a new and exciting way.
