🇧🇦 Sarajevo Must-Eat: This Bosnian Burek Will Blow Your Mind!
Recommended by our Airbnb host! While Burek (meat-filled pastry) is everywhere in Bosnia, trust me—not all Bureks are created equal! Some are greasy, some are skimpy on filling. For the real deal in Sarajevo’s Serb/Muslim quarter, this spot is IT. Başpazar—a traditional Balkan pie shop running for 80 years! Crispy layers, generous fillings. Our host didn’t lie: locals love it too. 🍽 Must-Try: ✅ Classic Meat Burek 🥩 — Freshly baked, crispy outside, juicy meat inside. Irresistible! ✅ Spinach & Cheese (Zeljanica) 🥬🧀 — A spinach lover’s dream! Fragrant greens + rich cheese + flaky crust. ✅ Chicken & Mushroom Burek 🍗🍄 — Unique flavor! Eat it hot (gets dry when cool). ✅ Ayran (Yogurt Drink) 🥛 — Similar to Turkish style but freshly whipped! Perfect pairing to cut through the richness. Icy, tangy, and refreshing! ✨ Spacious with plenty of outdoor seating ✨ Friendly staff (English-speaking aunties! 👍) ✨ Dessert surprise: Kunefe (small but delicious!) with ice cream + Bosnian coffee. ✨ Crazy affordable! Bosnia is cheap, but this place is a steal. Came twice + took away extras 😂 💡 Tips: • Eat Burek HOT—it loses magic when cold. • Healthy flour options available (e.g., three-cheese cake—buy it!). 📍 Başpazar Bravadžiluk 17a, Sarajevo 71000 (super central in Old Town!) 💰 ~5-10€ per person ⏰ Best for: Breakfast/Lunch (Burek anytime!) or afternoon sweets + fresh yogurt. Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Addictive flaky goodness! A must-visit in Sarajevo for authentic Balkan flavors. 🇧🇦 #BosnianFood #Sarajevo #SarajevoFood #MustEat #Balkans #TravelEats
