“I think food, culture, people and landscape are all absolutely inseparable.” – Anthony Bourdain

Hearty portions of Bosnian classics and local favorites: the culinary journey is a perfect blend of history, sightseeing, and delicious food.

During this food tour in Sarajevo, you leave the old town of Sarajevo and discover a side of the city that many tourists never get to see: Grbavica, the city's typical socialist residential district with its turbulent history, especially during the Sarajevo siege in the 1990s.

In 5–6 delicious hours, we visit six carefully selected stops: traditional Aščinice, a local bakery, a café, the Pijaca, and finally a bar for a small shot of rakija. The tour combines traditional Bosnian food and flavors of the Ottomans and Austro-Hungarians.

This is not a classic tasting tour. You can expect generous portions of classics of Bosnian cuisine and local favorite dishes. In the end, it feels less like a tour and more like an afternoon spent tasting your way through Grbavica with a local friend.

Along the way, we'll talk about Sarajevo's food scene, Bosnian culture, everyday life in the city, and the stories behind the dishes your guide grew up with. We'll also stop by the legendary Grbavica Stadium—home to FK Željezničar and one of the most iconic soccer stadiums in the country (need we say more: Edin Džeko started his career here).

Our groups are deliberately small (maximum 8 guests). This allows us to visit places where locals actually eat, and gives you enough time to talk about the culture of Sarajevo with your tour guide.
