RiverSide Garden Skopje

Jazz garden with delicious food

Gordana from Skopje

About me I have worked as a journalist in the best selling weekly magazine here in Macedonia for 17 years. In these precious years, I learn a lot about myself and have met wonderful people around Europa. Those communication skills I am now implementing in my work as a booking agent for bands and artists and as a owner and manager at my company Man and Mountain. Together witg my partner music...
"In the super cozy atmosphere near the fire that was warming us, we ate so sweet and were wrapped in jazz."

"When your day seems blue and as stormy as can be, there’s nothing quite as tranquil as a nice cup of coffee at our place with the melody of the river that will calm your heart and your mind you are all welcome to enjoy the beauty of nature".

When we entered the garden all was green, but on a places covered with yellow, orange, light brown and red leaves from the trees above. Even if it was a sunny day, siting outside was a little bit cold, so we decided to go inside expecting nothing special. And than the surprise hit our faces :) Inside is acually an indoor garden: varieties of plants, flowers, trees that the owner Aki nurtures and takes care of. In the middle of the restaurant there were 2 huge trees that he kept and would not cut, and he made special holes on the roof so that those trees could grow free.

Furthermore, all the tables where unique and made by him, and on top of that, the food and the menu us authentic, a mixture of all cousines, especially Meditarenean. And on top of even that, jazz is the only music that is allowed to be played there. In the super cozy atmosphere near the fire that was warming us, we ate so sweet and were wrapped in jazz.

“Riverside Garden” restaurant is located on the Treska river quay, next to the bridge between Saraj and Grchec.
