Beograd je zahvatila još jedna groznica. Otvaranje pabova na svakom koraku, ali bukvalno svakom. Ali ne može se pabom nazvati svaki lokal koji ima 3-4 vrste točenih piva i kikiriki. Pravi pab (bar da bih ga ja tako nazvala) mora da ima dušu, uigranu ekipu, jaaako dobar izbor točenog piva i odličan izbor hrane koji bi mogao da zadovolji nepca i zasiti glad pivopijama. Jedan od pabova koji se u poslednje vreme definitivno može izdvojiti kao odličan kandidat je - Realist! A nakon mog posta, prosudite i sami, ukoliko već niste imali prilike da posetite ovo mesto. Pa, da krenemo redom!
Realist |
Pab Realist nalazi se u Dalmatinskoj ulici, ulici u kojoj se ja mislim nalazi najveći broj pabova. I osim u ovoj ulici, i u okolnim ulicama možete da naiđete na veliki broj pabova, tako da bi se moglo reći da je ovaj kraj jedan veliki raj za pivopije. Enterijer ovog paba je zaista fascinantan. Fin, elegantan, pabski stil, baš ono što volim. Nisam pristalica onih sorti pabova u kojima od oblaka dima i poluraspadnutnih drvenih stolica i točenog Jelena nemaju šta drugo da ponude - a do skoro to se nazivalo pab. Realist ima baš ono što volim da vidim u pabu. Što se tiče bašte, s obzirom na lokaciju ok je. Mada moram da priznam da je unutrašnjost lokala ipak na mnogo zavidnijem nivou od letnje bašte.
Ali da se manemo mi sa prostora i bacimo na izbor piva i hrane. Kada je pivska karta u pitanju izbor je sjajan! Mislim da ovde i najprobrljiviji pivopija (kao što sam i ja) može naći ono što voli (a ja sam našla svoju najveću ljubav među pivima - Grimbergen). Dosta vrsta flaširanih piva u kombinaciji sa velikim izborom točenih piva po sasvim pristupačnim cenama je kamen temeljac dobrog paba. Što se tiče hrane, u meniju se nalaze baš ona jela koja mogu da isprate i zasite ogroman apetit koji se otvori nakon unete poveće količine vitamina B. Mi smo probali skoro sve sa menija, i prezadovoljni smo načinom pripreme i ukusom.
Izdvojila bih osnovni obrok svakog paba - Juneći burger (550 rsd) - serviran sa začinjenim krompirom, koji je preukusan zbog karamelizovanog luka i slaninice, i definitivno nema šanse da vas ne zasiti!

Kolutići luka (250 rsd) su definitivno zamenili čuvenu pabsku grickalicu kikiriki. Servirani su sa sosom koji se idealno slaže uz luk. A osim kolutića luka, jedno vreme su u ponudi imali i kolutiće paprike, i ovom prilikom apelujem da ih ponovo vrate na meni, jer su fenomenalne grickalice koliko i kolutići luka.

Za prave gurmane tu su Krilca u slatko ljutom sosu. Imate mogućnost naručivanja male porcije od 500 gr (400 rsd) i velike porcije od 1 kg (750 rsd).

Ljubitelji kobasica biće posebno uzbuđeni jer u Realistu ima veliki izbor ovog jela. Pa tako ovde možete da probate Dimljenu kobasicu (390 rsd), Konjsku kobasicu (410 rsd), Pileću kobasicu (390 rsd), Kobasicu mangulice (430 rsd) i Kobasicu sa sirom (410 rsd). Sve kobasice servirane su sa začinjenim krompirom, a ranije su uz krompire servirali i mini salatu sa kupusom i šargarepom, ali iz nekog razloga su je izbacili sa menija, pa bih apelovala da i nju vrate - Pravda za mini vitaminsku salatu!! Jer bila je sjajna i dobro se uklapala u celu priču.

Za kraj sam ostavila jedno realtivno novo jelo kada je pabski meni u pitanju, a to je Cepkana svinjetina, poznatija i kao Pulled pork (430 rsd). Cepkana svinjetina u kombinaciji sa kupusom i karamelizovanim lukom, meni je jedno od omiljenih obroka ovde. Kao i ostala jela, servirana je sa začinjenim krompirom. Ovo jelo definitivno treba da probate ukoliko se nađete u ovom pabu. U kombinaciji sa pivom pun pogodak je definitivno! A porcija je ogromna, tako da ne brinite, nećete ostati gladni!

A kada je osoblje u pitanju, jedan od glavnih razloga zbog kojih je pab uvek prepun je poznati beogradski konobar Neša (meni poznatiji po nadimku Ćora) koji će vas u pabu dočekati i ugostiti kao da ste došli kod njega kući. Nadaleko je poznat po svom šarmu i sjajnom odnosu sa gostima. Pored njega tu je i lepša polovina osoblja Realista, Nina, šankerka, uvek nasmejana, bez koje Neša ne bi mogao da funkcioniše.
Što se tiče gostiju, Realist je mesto gde uglavnom dolazi ista ekipa, a i ukoliko naiđe neka nova ekipa, ubrzo i ona postaje standardna postava ovog paba. Jer zaista ko jednom ovde svrati na pivo, male su šanse da se neće ponovo vratiti. Uglavnom je prosek godina između 30 i 40 godina, retko ćete ovde naići na dečurliju. Vikendom u ovom pabu budu organizovane svirke, ili DJ veče, što samo dodatno upotpunjuje celokupni doživljaj.
Od večitog Optimiste, život i iskustva su me vremenom naučili da je ipak bolje biti Realista (ko razume shvatiće). A vi? Da li je vama čaša uvek polupuna ili poluprazna? Kakav god da je odgovor, svratite u Realist da je dopunite!

Belgrade has caught another fever. Pubs are opening at every step, I mean literally, every step. But you just can’t call it a pub if certain place serves 3-4 types of draught beer and peanuts. A real pub (at least for me to call it) must have a soul, well-coordinated staff, a large draught beer selection and an excellent choice of food that could satisfy the palate and the appetite of beer lovers. One of the pubs that definitely stands out as an excellent candidate is - Realist! And after this post, judge yourself, if you haven’t already had a chance to visit this place. Well, let's start!
Realist |
The pub Realist is located in Dalmatinska Street, the street where, in my opinion, the largest number of pubs is located. And except in this street, you can come across a large number of pubs in the surrounding streets, so you could say that this area of the city is like heaven for beer lovers. The interior of this pub is really fascinating. Nice, elegant, pub like style, just what I like. I ’m not a fan of those types of pubs which have nothing to offer besides clouds of smoke, half broken wooden chairs and draught Jelen beer- and until recently these kinds of places were considered a pub. The Realist has exactly what I like to see in the pub. As for the garden, considering the location, it’s a fine one. Although, I have to admit that the interior of the pub is still much better than their summer garden.
But let's move from the interior to their selection of beer and food. The choice of beer is great! I think that even the pickiest beer lover (like me) can find something for them (and I found my biggest love among beers - Grimbergen). A large number of bottled beers combined with a large selection of draught beers at quite affordable prices is the cornerstone of a good pub. As far as the food is concerned, in the menu you can find just the right dishes that can satisfy a huge appetite that is whetted when a high intake of vitamin B is present. We have tried almost everything from the menu, and we are pleased both with the way of preparation and taste.
I would like to single out the basic dish of every pub - Beef burger (550 rsd) - served with seasoned potatoes, and which is delicious because of caramelized onions and bacon, and there is definitely no chance that you’ll be hungry after eating one!

If you’re not very hungry, there is a Grilled Miročki cheese (350 rsd) served on some rocket salad with two types of dips. For cheese lovers, along with a glass of wine, this could be a great choice.

Onion rings (250 rsd) have definitely replaced the famous pub snack -peanuts. They are served with a dip that perfectly complies with the onions. And besides the onion rings, they also offered pepper rings for some time, and I take this chance to kindly ask them to include them in their menu again, because they are a phenomenal snack, just as the onion rings.

For real foodies there are Chicken wings in sweet chili sauce. You can order a small portion- 500 gr (400 rsd) and a large one- 1 kg (750 rsd).

Sausage lovers will be especially excited because Realist has a great selection of those. So here you can try Smoked sausage (390 rsd), Horse meat sausage (410 rsd), Chicken sausage (390 rsd), Mangalica sausage (430 rsd) and Cheese sausage (410 rsd). All sausages are served with seasoned potatoes, and some time before, along with the potato they served a mini salad with cabbage and carrots, but for some reason they don’t serve it anymore, so I would ask to also bring it back - Justice for mini vitamin salad !! Because it was really great and it was a perfect fit for the whole concept.

And finally, the dish I left for the end is a relatively new dish among the pub food, and that's Pulled pork (430 rsd). Pulled pork, combined with cabbage and caramelized onions, is one of my favorite dishes of this pub. Like the other dishes, it is served with seasoned potatoes. You should definitely try this dish if you visit this pub. Pulled pork and beer- definitely a perfect match! And the portion is huge, so don’t worry; you won’t end up hungry!

And when it comes to the staff, one of the main reasons why this pub is always full is the famous Belgrade waiter Neša (but to me, better known by the nickname of Ćora) who will welcome you as if you came to his house. He is by far known for his charm and a great relationship with guests. Besides him, a better half of the staff of Realist pub is Nina, the bartendress, always with a smile on her face, and without her Neša wouldn’t be able to function.
As for the guests, Realist is the place with regular visitors, and even if someone new comes in, they soon become a part of this pub. Because, who once visits this pub to have a beer, there are small chances that they won’t visit again. The average age of the guests is between 30 and 40 years old, you will rarely come across someone younger. During weekend they organize gigs, or DJ evenings, which only completes the overall experience.
From the eternal Optimist, life and experience have taught me over time that it’s better to be a Realist. And you? Is your glass always half-full or half-empty? Whatever the answer, come to Realist to fill it up!
Love, Nada Gastro police !!
