Babalu Belgrade

Best sandwiches in the city

Tatjana from Belgrade

I am an ecologist interested in our natural and social surroundings and how they interact. Besides that, as a real ecologist, I am also a passionate cyclist who loves to observe the environment, the one I live in, and the one I am getting to know from my bike. When it comes to my favourite spots, in Belgrade, where I live, but also in new cities that I visit, I am mostly drawn to green spaces, aka...
"What makes the sandwiches at Babalu so exceptional are the various sauces that can be added—my favorite being honey-mustard."

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.

When it comes to my favourite spots, in Belgrade, where I live, but also in new cities that I visit, I am mostly drawn to green spaces, aka parks, interesting bars, and mostly vegetarian/vegan food, so that kind of recommendations is also what you can find on my profile. Belgrade is an ever-changing place. It is a mixture of...
