Ćevapi are not the only star of Bosnian cuisine. And don’t forget the Bosnian pie. It is filled with spinach, potatoes or meat and is always baked to perfection.

Burek is a puff pastry filled with meat or cheese, which makes it the perfect savory snack for any time of the day.

Traditional Bosnian food dishes are heavy on meat and vegetables cooked in their own juices, without a lot of added fats and sauces.

Spices are used in traditional Bosnian food, but not to excess, allowing the authentic flavors of the meat or vegetables to take center stage.

Ustipci- Fried Dough Balls with Filling, these savory or sweet dough balls are a favorite in traditional Bosnian foods. Yeast dough balls stuffed with cheese, meats, or even vegetables before being deep-fried. They can be made sweet with powdered sugar or jams served alongside them.

Soups and stews are a big part of traditional Bosnian food. Food  that is served in all restaurants.

Begova Corba or Bey’s Soup (Chicken Soup with Okra)
A traditional Bosnia food, Begova Corba is a creamy chicken soup served in the cold months. Like many foods in Bosnia, this dish resulted from the Turkish invasion during the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

Fans of sweets will feel in Bosnia like in a sweet paradise. Baklava, trileche, dates, kadaif and many other cakes.

Have you ever heard of the term “food for the soul”? Bosnians take it quite literally. The cuisine is a perfect blend of Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian influences, creating a unique flavor that will delight you. Bosnians are friendly and hospitable and you are always welcome to try Bosnian specialties.

Traveling to Bosnia and Herzegovina and not tasting traditional Bosnian specialties means missing out on fully enjoying the benefits of this country.
