Reka

Reka (River) is a quayside restaurant at Kej oslobođenja 73B in Zemun, Belgrade, serving fish and mixed grill on a Danube-side terrace with live music in the evening. Zemun's riverfront, below Gardoš hill, is the traditional place in Belgrade for fish restaurants, and Reka sits among them as a mid-priced option that also appeals to diners who prefer grilled meat to river fish. The cooking is straightforward Serbian riverside cuisine, with no chef lineage or Michelin context. Signature dishes include a fish platter, mixed grill and fish soup. The fish platter is the usual choice for tables wanting to sample the Danube catch, while the mixed grill suits mixed groups where not everyone eats fish. The dining room character is informal and sociable, centred on the terrace, with a higher noise level in the evening when live music is played. There is no dress code. Typical spending is about 2,000-4,000 RSD per person, slightly below some neighbouring fish houses. Drinks follow local custom, with Serbian beer, wine and rakija, and the list is not a destination feature. Opening is typically 11:00 to 24:00 daily, with seasonal variation to be confirmed by phone or at the door. Reservations are generally simple. Walk-in seating is usually possible, and for weekend evenings the guidance is to reserve at the door, as no phone number is listed. Visitors who want a quieter meal can choose lunch, when the music is absent or lighter. Reaching Zemun from central Belgrade, Serbia is easiest by bus or taxi, and the quay is a pleasant place to walk before or after eating, with Gardoš tower visible above the old town rooftops. The location is north of the Beton Hala area and suits a relaxed half-day trip.
