Best Cheap Eats in Belgrade for Burek, Ćevapi, and Pizza
Guide: Belgrade Cheap Eats for Burek, Ćevapi, and Grills
Belgrade's best inexpensive food is direct and specific: crisp burek with yogurt, ćevapi in warm lepinja, odd-but-beloved salad-topped pizza, and round-the-clock grills. These ten current counters and taverns prioritize local habits over generic value claims.
- Ćevabdžinica SavčićSavčić keeps the Sarajevo-style format focused: juicy ćevapi, warm lepinja, onions, kajmak, and quick counter rhythms at prices that make repeat visits reasonable.
- Pizza BuckoBucko's defining move is a hot pizza slice finished with creamy beef or chicken salad, an odd-sounding Belgrade combination that works best eaten immediately outside.
- Pekara TrpkovićTrpković's flaky, weighty burek with meat, cheese, or seasonal fillings draws fast-moving morning queues; pair a warm wedge with drinkable yogurt and eat it crisp.
- Walter Sarajevski ĆevapThis reliable Dorćol branch delivers smoky Sarajevo-style ćevapi, soft flatbread, grilled peppers, and straightforward table service late enough to cover lunch and post-bar hunger.
- Zavičaj BalkanskaNear major transport connections, Zavičaj serves large portions of Serbian comfort food, grills, stews, stuffed vegetables, and warm bread in a rustic room built for hearty meals.
- Stepin Vajat AutokomandaStepin Vajat is a round-the-clock grill counter for pljeskavica, ćevapi, sausages, and chicken tucked into lepinja with onions, kajmak, urnebes, or ajvar.
- Loki DorćolLoki's small red-fronted grill has long served Dorćol with pljeskavica and other charcoal-cooked meats, customized with sauces and salad for a no-frills late-night meal.
- OrašacOrašac is an old-school neighborhood restaurant where wood-fired breads, grilled meat, cooked Serbian dishes, and generous salads arrive without central-city styling or ceremony.
- Stara HercegovinaThis long-running tavern draws on Herzegovinian cooking for slow meats, grilled dishes, pies, and substantial portions, with live traditional music adding energy later in the evening.
- Drama ĆevapiDrama's handmade ćevapi and sausages come on metal plates with cabbage, onions, ajvar, kajmak, and warm bread, delivering a satisfying central meal for little money.
