Babalu Belgrade
Best sandwiches in the city
Tatjana from Belgrade
As someone who is a fan of tasty sandwiches, before Babalu opened, I could not find one in Belgrade. After Babalu opened at the top of Skadarlija street, I began visiting it quite often—so often that I believed I had influenced the creation of the vegetarian sandwich, as it contained the combination of ingredients I always preferred.
That being said, Babalu offers the option to create your own sandwich, which was the only option available in the beginning, as far as I remember. There are numerous ingredients that can be combined, and what makes these sandwiches so exceptional are the various sauces that can be added—my favorite being honey-mustard.
Now, you no longer have to think about which ingredients to combine, as Babalu now offers standardized sandwiches that represent the best combinations of different ingredients. Occasionally, they introduce new options. I must admit, I've only tried a few, as I prefer to stick to what I know, but all that I have tried were superbly delicious.
In addition to sandwiches, Babalu also offers other items such as pancakes and various salads. However, most customers come for the sandwiches, and in my circle, I've never heard anyone express dislike for this place.

Java Coffee
My go-to iced coffee place
It is a roastery so you can also buy single-origin coffee if you like. My favorite tasty snacks here are raw cakes made of oats and fruit.

Chernyi Cooperative Roasters
Industrial minimalism
This is a self-service, non-smoking place where you can get very nice, high-quality coffee. They also serve breakfast, and have amazing carrot cake!

Sač
The melting pot
"Sač" in Belgrade's Zemun is a restaurant known for its veal and lamb baked 'pod sačom' which makes them absolutely delicious. Curious location, too...

Ljutić
Backyard coolness
"Ljutić" Belgrade is hidden and there's little to announce that it's an ever-growing popular spot. But it's a low profile bar, and I love it for it.

Chillton
Chill at will
"Chillton" is not yet another classic Belgrade apartment club. The atmosphere is shabby, chilled, completely unpretentious. You can be yourself here...

A trade fair for loonies!
"Fijuk Sajam" in Belgrade is the place to be and see on the first Friday of each month -- here you can find just about anything creative under the sun...

Intergalactic Diner
True American space
Intergalactic Diner in Belgrade is like a restaurant from the '60s US Midwest. You can order a Comet Dog, a Deep Space Chick or Cosmic Pancakes there...

Beogradski Manijak
Deep down and dirty
"Beogradski manijak" in Belgrade gives everyone a much-needed respite. Everything about this bar is without a hint of pretense. Cheap booze, good music!

IMR - Old Factory
Back to socialism!
The old factory of IMR (or Industria Motora Rakovica) in Belgrade used to produce tractors... check out this old socialist façade white it's still there!

Makadam
Made in Serbia
Makadam Belgrade collects various items made in Serbia, like T-shirts, cosmetics, books, puzzles etc under one roof. I can't just not buy things here.

Marukoshi
Straight from Japan
The level of spiciness is just right, and the soups are filled with fresh, tasty vegetables and other ingredients, depending on which ramen you choose.
