Traditional Sweet Dishes
baklava
In Belgrade, baklava is an Ottoman-era favorite, layered with finely chopped walnuts and soaked in honeyed syrup until the pastry shimmers, making it a festival and café staple.
krofne
Krofne are pillowy, deep-fried doughnuts often filled with jam or custard, enjoyed hot from street stalls and closely linked to New Year celebrations and family gatherings in Belgrade.
palacinke
Palačinke are paper-thin crepes rolled with chocolate, jam, or kajmak, and Belgraders adore them as a late-night snack or a quick sweet to eat on the go.
Traditional Savory Dishes
cevapi
Ćevapi are small grilled meat sausages served in soft somun bread with raw onions and ajvar, and Belgrade’s ćevabdžinice are famous for perfect charring and addictive simplicity.
sarma
Sarma are cabbage leaves stuffed with rice and spiced meat, slow-simmered until deeply savory, and they taste even better the next day, so they are a winter feasting classic in Belgrade.
pljeskavica
Pljeskavica is a large, seasoned meat patty often topped with kajmak or onions and served in lepinja bread, and Belgrade eateries pride themselves on making the juiciest, most flavorful versions.
Traditional Beverages
rakija
Rakija is the ubiquitous fruit brandy Belgraders offer as a sign of hospitality, and many households keep homemade rakija for toasts, healing sips, and special gifts.
slivovitz
Slivovitz, or šljivovica, is the plum rakija beloved in Belgrade, it can be fiery when young and silkier when aged in oak, and it plays a central role in weddings and important toasts.
serbian coffee
Serbian coffee is brewed like Turkish coffee, served in small cups with the grounds left inside, and reading the coffee grounds is a playful custom after long conversations.

Loved the nightlife and cheap food, riverside bars are a blast but weekends are packed. Two days plus a lazy morning felt perfect.
Skip restaurants on Knez Mihailova, walk two blocks into side streets to eat cheaper, tastier cevapi. For breakfast hit a local pekara for burek and coffee.
City has loads of character and cool old architecture, but public transport is messy and some tourist spots felt overpriced. Plan 3 days.
Winter is chilly and grey, but hotels are cheaper and museums quiet. Not for sunseekers, still friendly people and hearty food made it worth it.
Get the 24-hour bus and tram pass from kiosks or the official app, not from drivers. Cheaper, covers ferries, and avoids exact-change drama.
