Walk in to Barka and you’d think the Dalmatian coast had just washed up in downtown Sarajevo. The bar is made from part of an old fishing-boat, nautical and maritime impedimenta hang from the ceilings and walls, and there’s a faint feeling of being on a permanent holiday. Efficient staff zip between the busy downstairs and the quieter snogging lounge upstairs. A garden in summer draws in the Bosnian diaspora crowd home on holiday.
