Reviews Summary
Bosnian Cuisine Hadzibajric is lauded for its authentic, home-style Bosnian food, with many praising the deliciousness and heartiness of the dishes, especially the mix plate. The atmosphere evokes a warm, familial feeling, akin to dining at a grandparent's home.

"If you want delicious traditional home cooked food, this is the place to be. It's a small cafe and runs like a mom & pop shop. No frills, no fuss. Just great food. Everything goes well together. It doesn't matter what you choose. So delicious!"

"I feel like I could eat here everyday for brunch if I live in Sarajevo. I secretly notice that’s what most of the locals are doing and I am jealous.
I did my homework prior by reading the reviews and simply asked for a mix platter for two to share with my partner. We got to try a total of 9 to 10 different items. It ranges from your standard meat stuffed vegetables to staples like rice and pasta and also other sides like cream spinach and giant meat patty. We couldn’t miss out on the veggie power packed soup either. All the dishes are nutritious and hearty. It feels like you are eating right out from a Bosnia’s grandma kitchen.
What a wonderful first meal to kick off our 7 days Bosnia trip!"

10 reasons to visit Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Meat, vegetables, stews, spices, delicious bread, an amazing variety of sweets… The Balkan cuisine is a delight, and that includes Sarajevo. In addition to my beloved bureks (baked pastries, usually filled with cheese, spinach or meat), I highly enjoyed trying the moussakas (an eggplant-based dish which resembles a lasagna and is typical of Greece and Turkey) and the Bosnian stews (meat stew made with tomatoes, onions, carrots and several other vegetables). Being a huge fan of bread, I was also happy to find out they make excellent ones in this region, usually serving them together with hot dishes in restaurants (I must confess I took them home to eat at dinner on more than one occasion).
