Makadam

Top choice in Belgrade


Make your way to Makadam across the original Turkish cobblestones of Kosančićev venac, a lovely slice of old Belgrade. The concept store only sells handmade products from across Serbia. Shoppers will find an impressive selection of carefully chosen items by local craftspeople and designers, with the accent on the use of natural and traditional materials.

The bistro (9am to midnight daily) serves local wines, beers and more. The sidewalk seating here – in fact along a large swath of Kosančićev venac – draws a lively, in-the-know happy hour crowd.
