Experience authentic Sarajevo gastronomy when you visit Bosnia and Herzegovina's beautiful capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forget about overpriced Michelin stars and restaurants with menus in ten different languages. If there is one place in Europe where the food is still made with heart, following generations-old recipes and at prices the whole family can afford, it is Sarajevo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city's gastronomy is a living mirror of its history. When you sit down to dine in the old town, Ba\u0161\u010dar\u0161ija<\/strong>, you are tasting a 500-year-old fusion between the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the 5 culinary experiences you simply must not miss when you visit Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can't say Sarajevo without saying \u0106evapi<\/em> (pronunciation tea-party<\/em>). It sounds simple: small, grilled rolls of spiced meat served in a freshly baked, steaming nut<\/em>- mashed together with finely chopped raw onions and a spoonful of dripping kaymak<\/em> (a creamy, fresh dairy cream).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n In Denmark they have Danish pastry \u2013 in Sarajevo they have Burek<\/em>. These are thin layers of hand-rolled filo pastry, filled with juicy minced meat and baked in large spirals over charcoal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Local rule:<\/strong> In Bosnia it's only called Burek<\/em>, if there is meat in it. If the tart is filled with cheese, it is called Cheese burek<\/em>, and the one with spinach, is it called Zeljanica<\/em>. Always order a glass of drinking yoghurt on the side!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Forget all about a quick \u201cto-go\u201d latte on the way to the next sight. Drinking Bosnian coffee<\/em> is a ritual. The coffee is brewed unfiltered in a small copper pot (dzezva<\/em>) and is served on a beautiful brass tray with a piece Turkish delight<\/em> (Turkish Delight) and a glass of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n It is not just about caffeine \u2013 it is about Cheyf<\/em>the art of enjoying the moment without being in a rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A slowly simmered, velvety soup made with chicken, vegetables and the special ingredient okra<\/em> (okra). The soup was originally served to Ottoman patrons and nobles, and it is the perfect start to an evening meal out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n If you want to try something out of the ordinary, you should order Sogan-Dolma<\/em>. Whole onions are hollowed out and filled with a juicy mixture of minced meat, rice and spices before simmering in a mild, tangy sauce. This is comfort food of the highest order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n One of the biggest surprises for Danish travellers is the price level. You can eat an unforgettable 3-course meal at one of the city's best traditional restaurants (canteen<\/em>) for under 120-150 DKK per person \u2013 including drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is precisely this unique Sarajevo gastronomy that makes the city a fantastic destination for food lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The food in Sarajevo tastes even better when you know the history behind the small family-run eateries in the narrow alleys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hos Hello Sarajevo<\/strong> we take you behind the scenes on our guided culinary tours, where you taste the authentic specialities right where the locals eat themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why settle for a boring, run-of-the-mill holiday when you can have a tailor-made adventure that\u2019s 100% tailored to your wishes?
