Bajloni

Prijatno i ušuškano su reči koje ćete u startu čuti od mene kad se pomene Bajloni bar. Smešten u centru Beograda, u Cetinjskoj ulici, Bajloni svojim šmekom neodoljivo privlači prolaznike da svrate i uživaju u onome što nudi. 

Kada se odlučite da svratite ovde, prvo ćete zakoračiti u prostranu i lepo, originalno uređenu baštu, a u skladu sa tim da li želite da popijete piće ili jedete, odlučićete da li ćete sesti za veći sto za ručavanje, ili manje stolove gde ćete uživati u piću po vrelom danu, ili za stolove u obliku šanka, koji se nalaze odmah sa desne strane, pri ulazu u baštu. Preko puta tog šanka, ispred vas je gomila stolova pod strehom somersby suncobrana, a ispred njih šank u kom šankeri rade punom parom, tako da je leti bašta pravi bar na otvorenom.  Baš ti drveni stolovi i stolice, pretežno bele i braon boje su ono što daje šarm ovom mestu, jer istovremeno odaju domaćinsku toplinu i spoj običnog, a vrlo originalnog. Enterijer će vas, takođe, kupiti. Kao i u bašti, drveni stolovi i stolice, sa vazama sa cvećem na stolovima, kredencima i starinskim prozorima, sa zanimljivim crtežima po zidovima, poput saksofona, peći, ili starog telefona je nešto što zaista ne može da vam ne izmami osmeh na lice.

Pored takvog ambijenta, kako odoleti i ne probati nešto sa menija? Pre nego što sam ovde došla, pogledala sam meni na njihovom sajtu i bila sam i više nego oduševljena zanimljivim, raznovrsnim menijem. Jedno od jela koje mi je privuko pažnju na sajtu bilo je pileća rolnica sa kafom i kozijim sirom u sosu od višanja i bila sam prilično sigurna da ću to naručiti. Međutim, kad sam pogledala meni na licu mesta, tog, kao i još nekoliko izuzetno zanimljivih jela uopšte nije bilo u jelovniku. Bilo mi je prilično krivo zbog toga, jer se meni na sajtu i u restoranu dosta razlikuju, a od malo egzotičnijih jela u meniju je bila samo hobotnica na puteru sa sokom od pomorandže, što mi je bilo ok, jer sam veliki ljubitelj morskih plodova. Drugarica se posle malo razmišljanja odlučila za ramstek sa začinjenim krompirom, pečurkama i boranijom (1140 rsd), u čemu sam je podržala i rekla da bih verovatno i ja to naručila da ne jedem hobotnicu. Kada je ljubazni konobar prišao i kad mi je rekao da nemaju hobotnicu moram priznati da sam bila razočarana. Pored tako bogatog menija na sajtu i oskudnijeg u restoranu oni čak ni to nemaju... Shodno tome, naručila sam isto što i moja drugarica. Ramstek je bio srednje pečen, baš po mom ukusu, tako da nemam zamerke, moja drugarica voli ipak malo pečenije, tako da su možda eventualno mogli da pitaju kako želimo da bude pečeno, ali ne smatram to za propust, uvek možemo da zamolimo da nam nešto bude manje ili više pečeno, ako želimo. Bio je i ispunjen papričicom, koja je bila ljuta, takođe po mom ukusu, a začinjeni kromiri su isto imali dozu ljutine jer su bili blago začinjeni tucanom paprikom, tako da je uz pečurke i boraniju ovo jelo skroz odgovaralo mom ukusu i zadovoljilo moje čulo ukusa, tako da sam relativno brzo prebolela hobotnicu. Karta pića je veoma raznovrsna, bilo da su u pitanju sokovi, flaširani ili ceđeni, piva, vina, kokteli, itd.

Ekipa je pretežno mlađa, do 35 godina, ima, naravno, i poneko stariji, ali Bajloni ima dozu hipsterskog, što potvrđuje mlađa populacija. Cene pića su pretežno kao i svuda u centru grada, poneke malo jače, ali ništa drastično. Skoro uvek su svi stolovi zauzeti, pa je poželjno rezervisati ako hoćete ovde na ručak ili večeru, a naročito kad im nastupa dj, tada je to prava žurka na otvorenom.

Ono što mogu da izvedem kao zaključak je da ovaj bar definitivno treba posetiti, to će vam zaista biti jedno prijatno iskustvo gde ćete uživati. Samo bih kao sugestiju zamolila menadžment da uskladi meni sa sajta sa menijem u restoranu, kao i da jela koja su u meniju u restoranu, a nema ih, ili nabave, ili sklone sa menija, to je prijateljski savet. Vreme provedeno ovde mi je zaista bilo lepo i rado ću se vratiti, naročito po ovim vrelim, letnjim danima.

Nice and cozy are the two words that I would use when you mention Bajloni bar. Located in the center of Belgrade, in Cetinjska street, using its charm Bajloni attracts passers-by to stop by and enjoy what it offers.

When you decide to visit this place, you will first step into a spacious and beautiful, originally decorated garden, in accordance with whether you want to drink or eat, you will decide between a larger dining table, or smaller tables where you will enjoy a drink on a hot day, or tables in the form of the bar, which are located immediately to the right, at the entrance to the garden. Across this bar, in front of you is a bunch of tables under the eaves Somersby parasols, a bar in front of them where bartenders work at full speed, so during the summer this garden is a real outdoor bar. Exactly those wooden tables and chairs, predominantly of white and brown colors, are what gives the charm of this place, because at the same time they give homely warmth and blend the ordinary and original together. The interior will also get to you. As in the garden, wooden tables and chairs, with vases with flowers on the tables, cupboards and antique windows, with interesting drawings on the walls, like the saxophone, stoves, or old wire phone is something that really can not fail in making you smile.

In addition to such environment, how to resist and not to try something from the menu? Before I came here, I looked at the menu on their website and I was more than delighted with interesting, varied menu. One of the dishes that caught my eye on the site was The chicken roll with coffee and goat cheese in sour cherry sauce and I was pretty sure I'm going to order that one. However, when I looked at the menu on the spot, that dish wasn`t on it as well as several other very interesting dishes. I felt bad about it, because it believes the menu in the restaurant and the one on the website are quite different, and the only little more exotic dish was Octopus in butter with orange juice, which I was ok with because I am a big fan of seafood. After some thinking, my friend ordered Rump steak with seasoned potatoes, mushrooms and green beans (1140 rsd), I approved her choice and said that I'd probably  order the same if there was no octopus. When the friendly waiter came over and when he told me that they do not have the octopus, I must admit that I was disappointed. Such a rich menu on the web site and slimmer version menu in the restaurant, they do not have this dish as well... Accordingly, I ordered the same thing as my friend. Rump steak was medium rare, exactly according to my taste, so no mistakes there, my friend likes it a little more cooked, so they might have ask us how it should be done, but I do not consider that as a mistake, we can always ask for something to be more or less done, if we want to. There was a bit of hot chili pepper in the steak, which was nice, and seasoned potatoes were also a bit spicy , because they were mildly spiced with grounded hot pepper, so, along with mushrooms and green beans this dish completely suited my taste and satisfied my taste buds so I got over that octopus fairly quickly. Drink list is very diverse, whether it comes to juices, bottled or of fresh fruit, beers, wines, cocktails, etc.

The guests are mostly young, to 35 years old, there is, of course, someone older, but Bajloni has this hipster dose, which the younger population confirms. Drink prices are mainly as everywhere in the city center, some little higher, but nothing drastic. All the tables are almost always occupied, so it is advisable to make a reservation if you want to come here for lunch or dinner, especially when there is a DJ show, then there is the real outdoor party in here. 

What I can conclude is that this bar is definitely worth visiting, it will truly be an experience where you will enjoy. I'd just, as a suggestion, ask the management to align the menu from the website with the menu in a restaurant, and about the dishes that are on the menu at a restaurant, but there do not have them actually, either purchase them or take them off the menu, it's friendly advice. Time spent here was really nice and I'll happily come back, especially on these hot, summer days.

Love, Gastro police !!
