Pastry Shop Šeherezada Skopje

Local and loyal

""Pastry Shop Šeherezada" in Skopje is one of the oldest in the Balkans. Not only do they make incredible traditional desserts, I also adore their boza..."

As my favorite pastry shop in Skopje I choose one of the oldest in the Balkans, called Šeherezada, which has attained cult status in town. Unlike other newer pastry shops, Šeherezada has been loyal to the same menu for years, which includes traditional Balkan sweets like kadaif, ekleri, indijanki, baklava, padobranci, orasnici, millefeuille and many others.

This pastry shop uses old recopies inherited from generations before and always has the same authentic taste, especially the famous drink Boza mixed with Blueberry soda. For someone who has never tried this drink, the first sip will have a strange taste, but after that the drink will have a refreshing effect on you. Boza cannot compare with any other drink, neither with its taste, nor texture and consistency. That’s why I am a regular customer in this pastry shop. But not just me: also thousands of other Boza lovers in town.

Šeherezada's interior, just like the recipes, has not changed over the years. And it's not like from the 1001 night where Šeherezada is the main character, but in there I eat the best delights. In winter, hidden behind the big glass windows, and in spring and summer I have my feast outside on the modest aluminum tables. But nothing is more important than the moments of exaltation from the taste of the traditional sweets and drinks.

Speakeasy

Speakeasy – Cocktails with a Macedonian twist

"Speakeasy" in Skopje isn't really illegal (in fact, maybe we should have stricter laws about alochol!) but it's this new type of retro bar I like so much.
