Spasa Bakery Belgrade

Skadarlija's secret gem

Uroš from Belgrade

""Spasa Bakery" is one of the oldest bakers in Skadarlija and Belgrade. What makes it so special is the bread filled with goulash, which I absolutely love."

When coming to Belgrade, one of the places you'll surely put on your list of things to see is the bohemian part of Belgrade, Skadarlija. Skadarlija is a place that was home to the famous Serbian painter Đura Jakšić (Djura Jakshic) and also home to the most famous restaurants in Belgrade, Kafane.

Kafane is a plural of the word kafana, and in old times, Kafane in Skadarlija was a gathering place of artists; painters, poets, and actors.

In all that kafane mess, where you can eat and drink well but not cheap, there is a secret gem. That gem is a bakery called Spasa. Younger generations, well, younger than me, have never heard of that place, even though they have passed by hundreds of times.

It is one of the oldest bakeries in Belgrade, and its location is close to the tap, which is in the middle of the street. What makes this place so special is a food that no other bakery has. It is a bun with a famous Hungarian meal called goulash. The most simple description would be 'meat in some sauce'. They cut the bun in half and put the goulash inside. And it is so delicious you'll want to eat your fingers!

Also, it is much cheaper than all the kafane and restaurants around it. The meal costs 200 dinars, a little less than 2 euros.

About me Oh, I never loved intros. Okay. I'm an engineer, like, that's the thing I make money from. I'm into renewable sources and some other energy-related stuff. I'm a retired football player who wonders why the heck he even played that. I'm also a book and travel lover as well as a LEGO brick and Burago car lover. I'm on a mission to discover as many places as possible that have good beer. So, if you want to get me out of the house, just tell me that we are going for some good beer. I'm also trying to be a some kind of poet. Just trying. Is that ...

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.

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.

Chill at will

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