A roast worth waiting for
Real roast suckling pig is not rushed. It's cooked slowly until the skin turns golden and crisp, while the meat inside stays tender, juicy and full of flavor. It can't be hurried. It can't be faked. It can only be done right.
At Porta – Crveni Pevac we prepare the roast fresh every weekend. When we open the doors at 12:00 it is hot, fresh and ready for the table.
If you are looking for weekend pork roast in Niš, come early. Quantities are limited, and the regulars do not wait until late afternoon.
Why it sells out fast
We serve the roast while it is hot and while it lasts. We don't prepare unlimited quantities — we want every plate to arrive fresh, juicy and properly cooked.
On weekends the tavern is full from noon, especially when the roast is on. So the rule is simple: if you are coming for the roast, reserve a table in advance and arrive early.
Served with
Roast suckling pig is served with homemade bread, fresh onion, ajvar and hot homemade bakery potatoes.
You can add kajmak, urnebes or any side from our menu.
From 16:00 the live music begins. Come for the roast, stay for the songs.

Roast, music and kafana atmosphere
Porta – Crveni Pevac is not a place where you only eat and leave. On weekends people come for lunch, stay for coffee, then continue with the music.
Live music plays from 16:00 every day. That's why the weekend roast at Porta often turns into a whole kafana afternoon — and evening.
