Belgrade is changing, and it’s changing so fast that we who live here must run to catch it. At the customs warehouses on the Sava docks near the Belgrade passenger port, today we can enjoy excellent food, drinks & music.
Beton Hala, or Concrete Hal, is a popular restaurant oasis where the restaurants are lined up like in a military squad, just 10m from the Sava river. I find the mornings here interesting: you can have a coffee and look at the busy workers preparing for a new day. Lunch is also a good option, or you can go out in the evening and experience trendy late-night Belgrade...
The higher prices indicate the higher quality of service that includes the incredible food, drinks and the all-star waiters. The closeness of the Sava gives Beton Hala a special touch. After or before you visit some restaurant & bars in Beton Hala, you can have a great walk on the Sava riverbank, all the way to the confluence with the Danube or to the new Sava promenade on the opposite side.
Sakura, Ambar, Magaza, Cantina de Frida are some of the places in Beton Hala you can’t miss, whatever you choose. Well, as in every situation where there are too many choices, the only problem is to find what's best for you. And please watch out: some taxi drivers waiting in front of Concrete hall late in the evening may try to charge you more, so the best would be to call a taxi.
