Beton Hala (Concrete Hall) is located in 2-4 “Karadjordjeva”Street, in Savamala, next to Belgrade Pier, at the Sava riverfront. The existing Concrete Hall in the first decade of the last century was extensively used for tourism, hospitality, and commercial purposes. With the tourism picking up as of recent the citizens of Belgrade uncovered the great potential of former industrial buildings standing on the riverfront. 

Today,  Beton hala (The Concrete hall) represents a must-visit “hotspot” in Belgrade and contains a few trendy restaurants: 

comunale restoran
 Comunale 

Comunale restaurant is in one of the prime locations in the city.  The architects of the  ”project” known as Beton Hala or Concrete Hall at Sava Port have created a chain of attractive looking places, right here, on the Sava river. The creator of the interior design and concept of the restaurant Comunale, Aleksandar Rodić again has opted for a bold approach. The pioneering efforts of many Serbian restaurant owners and caterers alike to introduce community tables rarely seem to be brought to broad daylight. Still, here Alexander manages an uncompromising space full of just that. Sort of no compromise-approach. As the name itself suggests – meaning a gathering or a get-together, the guests at Communale sit in throngs at the same table and make themselves at home because they are all there for one reason. They are here to sink their teeth in high-quality Italian specialties. The aesthetics is clean and monochromatic, as is the architecture of the space itself. Large spaces, monolithic structures, in line with the way things seem to be done here, with the central bar in the middle are all very Communale. Aleksandar has brought a mixture of steel and veneer to perfection coupled with chairs made of stainless steel and monolithic benches.


frida Cantina de Frida 

Cantina de Frida is a well-populated place both in the daytime and in the evening when it operates as a lounge as well. The concept of the restaurant is inspired by the life and work of famous artist Frida Kahlo. The authentic interior is the work of Ronald van Bersselaar, the Dutch interior designer who is behind all the famous Jamie Oliver’s restaurants. The interesting interior is complete with a wide range of dishes from Mexico, Spain, and Argentina. The small plates (tapas) and large plates are offered with lavish servings perfect to share with your significant others. All dishes are made with the same idea in mind: Feel free to enjoy every bite of the most mouthwatering  food and mind


toro  Toro

Toro Latin Gastrobar is located in Beton Hala, right next to popular Belgrade restaurants Comunale, Frida, and Iguana. It takes up two levels of a wide area that constitute the entirety of the interior composed of varied details. The interior is a mixture of different colors, materials, and furniture that create quite an interesting concept. The first level offers a quiet laid back atmosphere:  surrounded by walls of white brickwork and wood, multicolored wooden and plastic chairs, a comfy sofa, the wallpaper with wildlife design, chic chandeliers. installations and open kitchen. While, the second level is of a more acquired taste, not that vivid in choice of colors, and is enhanced with a wine rack and a long wooden table for 12 people.

A renowned chef and owner of a restaurant chain in world capitals, Richard Sandoval set up this restaurant in Belgrade with the concept of “small plates” based on Latin American tastes. Sandoval already has a chain of 26 restaurants with this concept, in Denver, Las Vegas, New York, Santa Monica, Washington, Mexico, Dubai, and Qatar. The food is fresh and mouth-watering and the prices are not exorbitant. The choice of music is quite good also and during the evenings DJs ‘show what they are made of’. So, we can say without fear of contradiction that this restaurant is urban, chic, and hip and definitely a place well worth visiting.

This is also a quite new restaurant in Beton Hala.  Like the other restaurants it takes up two levels of wide space with colorful chairs and large canvas hung on the wall.
