Restaurant Madera, Belgrade

Madera is located in the metropolitan area with a long history. Part of today’s Boulevard of King Alexander – from Takovska to Beogradska street – was known as “Fišegdžijska čaršija” (Cornet market) because, by order of Prince Miloš Obrenović, this area has been designated for the sale of gun-powder cornets. The place where Madera restaurant stands today, had been occupied by a “kafana” called Smederevo – a gathering place of coachmen and blue-collars. Then, in the spirit of Modernism, a new building was erected whose lobby was populated by the restaurant Madera in 1937.

The story goes that the restaurant got its name as one of the regular guests brought a great wine from the Portuguese island of Madeira. Belgrade’s bohemians, famous artists and journalists, who have been popularly called “maderaši”, gathered in our restaurant. Among them are Dr Aca Obradović, Predrag Milojević, Ljuba Tadić, Miroslav Radojčić, Den Tana, Miljan Miljanić, Slava Đukic, Ljubiša Vukadinović, Dragoslav Šekularac and others.
Its current, modern appearance Madera got in May 2003.

Restaurant Dva jelena, Belgrade

Dva jelena restaurant, one of the oldest and most frequented restaurants in Belgrade, has been the biggest à la carte restaurant on the territory of former Yugoslavia for more than hundred years. It is located in Skadalija, the bohemian heart of the city, also known as Belgrade Montmarte.

The story of Dva jelena goes like this:

In the spring of 1832, a hard-working baker named Avram set up his own bakery in this exact spot. The bakery was a success after only one year and his wife Petronija, realizing the potential of the big stove, started making cooked meals for the locals. In no time at all, they were coming in throngs. In 1867, a restaurant owner called Joakim bought the bakery from Avram for 20 gold coins and 2 ‘groš’. Then he hired Djordje, a heavily moustached builder from the region of Crna Trava, to expand the space and turn into a restaurant. The word of mouth about the restaurant’s beauty and the kindness of its owner spread very quickly around the town. Very soon the restaurant became the meeting place of people from all walks of life: craftsmen, actors, poets, artists, musicians, novelists, travelling groups of actors, and other visitors, fans of good music, good drinks and good entertainment. One day, some hunters from Belgrade brought their prey – two deer – in front of the restaurant. The people who gathered around it suggested that from that day on Joakim’s place should be called “Kod Dva jelena” or “At two deer”. We must never forget that the famous artists and giants of Serbian culture, the regular guests of our restaurant, were the ones who made Dva jelena  well-known worldwide. Foreign statesmen, artists and tourists from all over the world are also our guests.
