“I think food, culture, people and landscape are all absolutely inseparable.” – Anthony Bourdain
If you want to really understand the culture of Sarajevo, you need to eat its food, taste its flavours, speak to the people in the neighbourhood outside the old town.
And hardly any part of Sarajevo has more stories to tell than the old military neighbourhood Grbavica that was occupied during the siege of Sarajevo. On a walking tour through this residential area, you’ll learn about the resilience of the Sarajevans – part of the tour is a visit to the famous Grbavica stadium that was located right at the frontlines.
But above all, it’s about food, of course!
The best restaurants and local spots hide outside the old town of Sarajevo, where the locals live! We are convinced you’ve tried Baklava and Ćevapi, so this tour takes you deeper into traditional Bosnian local food and some Sarajevo Street Food:
Your tour guide will
This tour will show you that the Bosnian culture and cultural diversity is visible not only in the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian architecture but also in the food in the country. And of course you’ll meet the people preparing the food too!
Be ready for an adventure in a part of town that you’d never experience yourself, for feeling the true spirit of the Sarajevans and for trying typical Bosnian dishes that you can’t find on just any menu – and: come hungry!
I am vegan or vegetarian – can I book this tour?
The local cuisine is meat heavy, but we can cater to vegetarians. Please let us know 24 hours in advance if you don’t eat meat so that our food stops can prepare accordingly. We cannot cater to vegans unfortunately.
Is there a lot of walking on the tour?
To join our food tour, you must wear comfortable shoes. You will walk around 4 kilometers through the neighbourhood of Grbavica, but the way between the different stations is not too long and it’s not steep or with stairs. The whole tour will take around 5 hours, but we’ve had groups that took their time and stayed 6 hours, even – the group will adjust to your speed.
Can I book this Food Tour in Sarajevo as a private tour?
Yes, all tours can be booked as private tours.
What if I have any food allergies?
Please let us know in advance if you have any food allergies, especially for walnuts, gluten, or lactose. We cannot cater to all food allergies unfortunately but we will always try to accommodate your request.
Where is the meeting point?
The meeting point is here. Your guide will wait for you with a .Cheyf sign.
I don’t drink alcohol. Can I book the tour?
Of course! Just let your guide know when the tour starts that you won’t drink and he’ll offer you an alternative.
What if it rains on the day of the food tour or I change my plans?
Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Sarajevo. Bring an umbrella, and we will try to be more indoors than out. We do not issue refunds, however, we do reserve the right to cancel the tour should the weather be too extreme to be outside at all. Should your plans change, you can cancel for free up until 48 hours in advance.
Where does the food come from?
We work with small shops in both Sarajevo and the surrounding area. The food and drink we will eat on this tour is top-quality, fresh and local!
Can I choose my own dishes?
Your guide will take care of everything during this food tour. Should you wish to try something special, please let your guide know, and they will do their best to make you happy.
Please note: The minimum group size is three people. We reserve the right to cancel tours that do not meet the minimum group size – except for private tours.
