Savana Cafe on Danube Belgrade
Breezy, bluesy and friendly
The coast of Zemun Quay is home to many bars, cafes, clubs and restaurants and even hostels, floating on Danube. For some reason, on most of them you'll come upon bad Balkan pop or turbo folk music, lacking style and taste. And that's one of the reasons why Savana is so popular among the locals.
It's actually one of the rare decent places on the quay, popular for its relaxed feel, friendly staff, boasting blues tunes most of the time. In Savana mostly everything is made out of wood, it's decorated with some African details, and the view over Danube and nearby isles is calming.
It's probably the best place on the quay to bring your friends and feel kinda like you're at home. The place is pet-friendly, which is not often the case in Belgrade.
Coffees are their staple, as well as draft beer and popcorn. Flows well with the breeze, blues and the view on the river and Great War island. Check out Savana anytime!
