What To Expect
Trg Republike
We start a tour at one of the most busy places of the downtown - at Trg Republike. Many citizens come by this square when they head to the office in the morning or meet here their friends in the evening. So do we.
Stari Grad (Old Town)
No food tour in Serbia is complete without tasting fresh burek! At the authentic bakery (pekara), try local's favorite breakfast: crispy filo dough stuffed with meat, cheese, or even chocolate. Our guide will explain the regional burek debate and introduce you to popara, a simple yet nostalgic dish from a rural area.
What‘s Included
At the most of the stops you will taste samples of local food and drinks. A bottle of water is provided as well.

Rather interesting but needs improvement

4.00I would say it was good but not excellent. My guide was nice and knowledgeable but the place for the first stop was not approapriately chosen to my mind. The burek was too much fatty and with too little cheese. I am sure that there are a lot of places in Belgrade when you can eat perfect burek. Then comission fee did not match the quality of the service. I like serbian coffe in one caffe in Skadarlija and halva in Pelivan. I would rather also try chevapchichi. One more thing in winter time the places for stops probably should be inside not outside.
A Great Experience!

5.00Our guide Nadica and her daughter Jelena were amazing guides. Nadica is born and bred in Belgrade and is very knowledgeable. Nadica felt like a caring mother who took us to the markets and to bakeries etc, explaining the city and the layout as well. This would be good to do on your first day here to get your bearings. What a great experience from a beautiful person!
A nice experience

4.00Nice to learn about some local history whilst taste testing Serbian cuisine. Also the guides passion for architecture made her knowledge of some of the buildings very interesting.
Great and delicious dive into culture of Serbia!

5.00We booked this tour right after we’d finished the Walking tour around the city, and I could have never imagined that food is so much connected with the history and culture of Serbia. Actually in Serbian cuisine there’s a fusion of vibes and dishes from Austria, Tukey, Slavic region etc. Now I know for sure which burek is my favourite, I’ve tried a bunch of tasty desserts (and what’s important, this was included in the tour price). All the portions were the perfect size to enjoy diverse types of food and (already feeling experts in the field) finish the lovely day in the traditional Serbian restaurant, which was kindly recommended by our guide Tara!
