A sada nešto sasvim drugačije! Kada me neko pita šta očekujem od nekog mesta na koje idem prvi put, kažem da očekujem da ima da mi ponudi nešto što niko drugi nema, što je, složićete se, veoma teško. Kad kažem nešto što niko drugi nema, pod tim mislim na bilo koju vrstu originalnosti, bilo da se radi o ambijentu, jelovniku, muzici, itd. ''Maska'' je što se toga tiče veoma zadovoljila moje kriterijume.
Možete li da zamislite kad Vam neko kaže da ćete negde videti sve stilove, a da će to sve biti sa ukusom? Naravno da ne možete! Zato nemojte da zamišljate, nego dođite u ''Masku'' i uverite se da je i nemoguće moguće.
Smeštena u mirnoj uličici na Vračaru, u Rankeovoj, preko puta klinike stomatološkog fakulteta, Maska će Vas i pre nego što zakoračite u nju oduševiti originalnošću - ispred ulaza u vilu će Vas dočekati retro automobil prekriven travom i cvećem, na kom se nalaze sto, stolica i lampa. Pa kako odoleti i ne videti šta se nalazi unutra?

A tek kada uđete unutra, tu tek sledi niz prijatnih iznenađenja! Vila se sastoji od nivoa, sprata i prostrane bašte, a oko Vas svaki ćošak pleni autentičnošću. Tu se nalaze stolice u obliku šake, shinny disco balls, stilski nameštaj, kaučevi, drveni, metalni stolovi, itd. Dok šetate vilom, imate osećaj da prolazite kroz različite epohe i stilove, u jednom trenutku mislim da sam na Jamajci ili Uskršnjim ostrvima, a već u sledećem kao da sam se teleportovala u Englesku, u viktorijansko doba. Sve to možete da posmatrate tako što ćete se smestiti na udobne kaučeve i odatle će Vam pogled sigurno pasti na gomilu lampi sa zanimljivim abažurima, kao i na one modernije, ili se možete smestiti za drvene ili metalne stolice, gde će Vam, dok ćaskate, pažnju neprekidno privlačiti pregršt zanimljivih detalja, bilo u vidu figura, statua, tepiha ili slika. Skoro sam saznala, da je Maska i galerija i da je sve što ovde vidite i na prodaju, što me je prijatno iznenadilo jer zaista nisam imala predstavu o tome, bez obzira što sam im gost već godinama. Ovo mesto će na svakoga ostaviti utisak, a naročito za umetničke duše i ljude koji imaju svoj stil, verujem da je ovo mesto dušu dalo za modne blogere, ali ni nas gastro blogere nikako nisu ostavili ravnodušnima.
Meni je internacionalnog karaktera, što je, složićemo se, sasvim i očekivano, s obzirom na enterijer. Zaista ima sa svakoga po nešto i svako će naći jelo koje mu odgovara. Drugarica se odlučuje za ramstek sa grilovanim povrćem, a ja za rižoto sa morskim plodovima. Ramstek je bio i više nego ukusan - meso srednje pečeno, baš kako je drugarica želela, sa grilovanim povrćem koje je super išlo kao prilog, a ja sam, takođe bila veoma zadovoljna svojim obrokom. Morski plodovi sa rižotom u paradajz sosu, sa blago kiselkastom notom bilo je baš ono što je bilo potrebno mojim nepcima te večeri.

Uz ovako bogat i raznovrstan meni, bilo bi zaista nekorektno da ne pomenem vrhunsku ponudu koktela koji Vam još više mame čula na uživanje, za koji god da se odlučite bićete izuzetno zadovoljni. Hmmm, kad je sve ovako divno i sjajno, sigurno ima neki keč, verovatno je sve ovde preskupo, zar ne? Šalim se, cene su sasvim normalne, prosečne, kao i svuda, tako da se skroz uklapaju u odnos cena-kvalitet.
Pored super hrane i super ambijenta, ''Maska'' je poznata i po tome što organizuje super svirke, dovode bendove koji zaista znaju da naprave atmosferu, što izborom pesama, što energijom kojom zrače, svaki put bih se provela fenomenalno i odlazila sa utiskom kako je to bilo uspešno veče, koji god bend da je nastupao.
Ekipa je, kao i Maska, izuzetno raznolika, a u prepodnevnim satima uglavnom dominiraju studenti sa stomatologije, ali naravno, nisu jedini, ima i mlađih i starijih, što ukazuje na to da ovo mesto spaja sve stilove i sve generacije.
Ono što bih na kraju mogla da kažem, kao celokupan utisak, je to da je Maska mesto na kom zaista uživam svim čulima i mesto kom se uvek rado vraćam, bilo da idem na kafu posle posla, da prezalogajim nešto, ili da izađem, mesto za sve prilike, a provereno dobro. Ne razmišljajte više ni sekunda, već pođite u Masku, na piće ili doručak/ručak/večeru, to je na Vama da odlučite, ali garantujem da. kad odete jednom, stalno ćete joj se vraćati. U tom slučaju ćemo se sigurno sresti, pa ćemo razmeniti utiske.

And now something completely different! When someone asks me what I
expect from a place where you go for the first time, I say that I expect them
to offer me something that nobody else has and that is, as you will agree, very
difficult. When I say something that nobody else has, by that I mean any kind
of originality, whether it is about the ambiance, menu, music, etc. As for that
'' Maska satisfied my criteria.
Can you imagine that somebody tells you that you will somewhere see
all the styles but it would all combined with taste? Of course you can’t! So do
not imagine that, but come to 'Maska' and let them convince you that the
impossible is possible.
Located in a quiet street in Vracar Municipality, Rankeova Street, across the clinic
of Faculty of Dentistry, Maska will amaze you with its delightful originality,
even before you step inside - in front of the entrance to the villa you meet a
retro car covered in grass and flowers, on which there are a table, a chair and
a lamp. So how do you resist and do not see what's inside?

And when you go inside, you are followed by a series of pleasant
surprises! The villa has a gound floor, upper floor and a spacious garden, and
around you, every corner plunders authenticity. There are chairs in the shape
of a fist, shinny disco balls, stylish furniture, couches, wooden, metal
tables, etc. While strolling around the villa, you feel like you are going
through different epochs and styles, at one point I think I'm in Jamaica or
Easter Islands, and in the next like I was teleported to England in Victorian
times. All that you can observe by being seated on comfortable couches and from
there you will certainly look at a heap of lamps with interesting lampshades,
as well as modern ones, or you can take seat on a wooden or metal chair, where
while you chat,you will be continuously attracted the by a handful of
interesting details, either in the form of figures, statues, carpets or
painting. I recently found out that the Maska is a gallery and that all you see
here, is for sale, which I was pleasantly surprised, because I really had no
idea about it, no matter being their guest for years. This place will impress
everyone, especially artistic souls and people who have their own unique style,
I believe that this place is great for fashion bloggers, but for us gastro
bloggers too, it can’t leave you indifferent.
The menu is of international character, that is, we'll agree, quite
expected, considering the interior.There really is something for everyone and
everyone will find a dish that suits him. My friend chose a Rump steak with
grilled vegetables, and I ordered Risotto with seafood. Rump steak was more
than tasty - medium well meat, just as she wanted, great along with grilled
vegetables, which are great as a side dish, and I was also very pleased with my
meal. Risotto with seafood in tomato sauce, with a slightly sour note was just
what I needed for my palate that evening.

With such a rich and diverse menu, it would be really unfair not to mention the superb range of cocktails, which makes you enjoy even more, whichever you choose, you will be extremely satisfied. Hmm, when everything is so beautiful and great, certainly there is a catch, probably everything here is too expensive, right? Just kidding, prices are quite normal, average, as elsewhere, so completely fit into the price-quality ratio.
In addition to great food and great atmosphere, '' Maska '' is
known for organizing super gigs, bringing bands who really know how to make the
atmosphere, as with a selection of songs, as with radiate energy they emit,
every time I have a great time here and I left with the impression as it was a
successful evening, whatever band had performed.
The guests, as well as the restaurant, are extremely diverse, and in the morning mainly dominated by students from the Faculty of Dentistry, but of course, they are not the only ones, there are also younger and older, which indicates that this place brings all styles and generations together.
What I would like to say in the end, as the overall impression is
that Maska is the place where I really enjoy with all of my senses and a place I
keep coming back, whether to go for coffee after work, have a snack, or to go
out, the restaurant for all occasions, verified. Do not think any more seconds,
but go to the Maska, for a drink or breakfast / lunch / dinner, it's up to you to
decide, but I guarantee that when you go once, you will continuously go back to
it. In this case, we shall meet again, and we’ll exchange our impressions.
Love, Gastro police !!
