Set in the premises of a former dive bar at the corner of the local Covered Market (Pokrita Tržnica), Magda manages the rare feat of being super cool, completely authentic and refreshingly unpretentious all at the same time. The minimalist interior features stripped down walls, custom-made furnishings and fixtures, and original Yugoslav-era brown floor tiling, which reminds us of something you'd find in the so-called ruin bars of Budapest or hippest neighbourhoods of Berlin. The diverse selection of largely German and Belgian beer is matched by the eclectic choice of spirits, from Japanese whisky and American rye to craft gin (and tonic) and the best Macedonian rakija, all of which the friendly barkeep will gladly explain in detail. What's more, perhaps the finest espresso in town is produced from specialty beans (also available for purchase) and an old-fashioned manual hand-pulled lever machine, while very original meat and cheese plates, breakfast croissant sandwiches, tins of seafood imported from Spain and fresh oysters on ice highlight the food menu. Truly unique and one of our personal favourites!
