Belgrade: Street Food Walking Tour with Local Tastings

Summary

Discover belgrade’s flavors on foot with a local sharing stories and snacks

You’ll taste your way through Belgrade’s real street food scene — from flaky borek pastries to grilled ćevapi with creamy kajmak — while wandering alleys you’d never find alone. A local guide shares stories behind every snack and helps you connect with the city’s flavors in a way that sticks with you long after you leave.

What’s the experience like?

Ever wondered what Belgrade actually tastes like? I didn’t really know either, not until we ducked into that first bakery and the smell of warm dough hit me — kind of buttery, but sharper, like something was frying just out of sight. Our guide, Jovan, waved us inside and started talking about his childhood breakfasts. He handed me a piece of borek so flaky it left crumbs on my jacket. I tried not to look too greedy but honestly, I could’ve eaten three more right there.

We wandered through backstreets I’d never have found alone — graffiti everywhere, old ladies selling flowers at the corners. At the next stop, Jovan ordered ćevapi for us (he said it’s “the king of Serbian street food,” which made me laugh), served with kajmak and ajvar. The bread was still warm from the grill. I got a little bit of grease on my fingers and didn’t even care. Someone from our group tried to pronounce “kajmak” and totally butchered it; Jovan just grinned and gave her a thumbs up.

The weather kept shifting — sun one minute, then a gust of wind that made everyone huddle closer together as we ate sausage slices off wax paper. There was this moment when we stopped in a tiny alley for Serbian pizza; the cheese was saltier than I expected, but somehow perfect after all the meat. We ended up sharing pancakes at the last stop, powdered sugar everywhere. It felt more like hanging out with friends than being on a tour. I still think about that first bite of borek sometimes when I’m hungry late at night.
