Kafana Verige (Pothook)

26.05.2008.
Verige (Pothook)

Hidden from the curious looks, one of the best Niš's kafanas, Verige-Catena Mundi (in English it would sound something like Pothook-The Link of the World), is placed in an alley downtown. The kafana is situated in the alley where Radio Niš is located, and it really represents a small oasis of peace, eyes and a soul ease. Stepping through the gate and the narrow gateway, you come to a beautiful garden where the waiters are busy serving the guests, an orchestra at the front is preparing itself for the performance...
The music starts playing, 'starogradska' music (an old traditional folk music of Serbia), tamburitza and contrabass followed by captive smells from the kitchen. You can't resist it; so you sit and start drinking rakia to relax a soul and a heart, every problem instantly disappears and kafana therapy takes place.

Kafana's history remained unknown to us after a few trials to reach the owner who was very distrustful toward our idea and intentions, we probably got deprived of many beautiful details and pieces of information. Bygones; we went there, tried the food, drinks and atmosphere (several times) and we intend on going there again :).

The inside of the kafana is for praise, and by careful examination you can discover various details which give kafana a special zing and impression. According to our estimation, there are around 40-50 seats inside whereas the garden may be more spacious.The clientele is very sophisticated and there are many business people, and family men, so there is really not enough space for the real bohemians although the music and the ambience is perfect for them/us.

Honestly, we have never come across a fuller menu; oh, where to start from, well, they have everything you have or haven't ever heard about. A handful of fish specialties but also barbecue delicacies and national dishes characteristic for our region. As the choice of food is great, the choice of drinks isn't left behind. A little remark on the rakias, domestic 'dunja' (a type of rakia made from quince) is great, but there is no 'šljiva' or 'loza' (types of rakia made from plumes and grapes). The wine cart is for praise so the pickiest ones may satisfy their whim.
As we visited it at few ocassions we tried fish specialties and barbecued chicken as well as 'rebarca u kajmaku' (ribs in kajmak)... Relax when ordering since there is no room for mistakes here and the waiters are always ready to recommend something interesting.

Every recommendation to visit it from us since it is one of the rare kafanas that offer a complete comfor, the music is playing five days a week- so after everything mentioned aforehand, it is obvious that the reservation is obligatory, especially in the evening hours.
