Ljupce's Bakery Belgrade

A burek to die for

Anđa from Belgrade

""Ljupce's Bakery" in Belgrade makes my favorite burek in the city. It's a true tucked-away gem. There's only one flaw: it's closed on Sundays & in August."

Burek is the king of breakfast in Serbia. It is a filo pie made of thin, oily dough and usually filled with meat, cheese, spinach etc. Even though Belgrade is packed with bakeries serving burek, there are still some tucked-away gems, like a bakery oven by Ljupče Mihajlovski, or Ljupče the Macedonian as we call him in the neighborhood.

No matter what time during the day you pass, there is always a queue. Actually, there are two queues, one for burek and one for everything else. Besides burek, you will find simple and basic pastries at Ljupče's bakery, such as rolls or poppy seed pie.

The interior is super-simple and it looks like a larger kiosk. Ljupče will cut the burek for you, place it on a paper sheet and serve it on a plate. There are no tables or chairs and you will eat your burek while standing. Do not forget to get a yogurt.

There's only one flaw - it's closed on Sundays, so if you're planning using the high-calorie burek experience as a secret weapon against a hangover, carefully arrange exploring Belgrade's nightlife. Also, Ljupče is on vacation during the entire month of August, so the bakery is closed.

Ljupče's burek is a must-try, even if your body is not ready.

Belgrade Spotter Anđa

About me I grew up in the peaceful surroundings in the countryside of Southern Serbia and moved to Belgrade to finish university. When I’m not working as a transactional attorney, my focus is on exploring Belgrade’s vibrant food scene. If I had to choose a type of food I would have to eat for the rest of my life, I would choose ice cream without thinking twice. My passion has helped me become part of the Food&Culture gang of enthusiasts who are trying to promote a full-flavored experience of Belgrade's lifestyle and heritage.
