Cafe, Restaurant, Kebab, European, Turkish, Mediterranean, Vegetarian. Inside an Ottoman-style building in Bascarsija, Nanina Kuhinja serves up local food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Come here for a thick Bosnian coffee in the morning and return at lunchtime to sample their soups.

The best place to try these is Nanina Kuhinja in Baščaršija. My favorite barbecue staple – and the reason for all the smoke that wafts out of Baščaršija restaurants – is ćevapi (Bosnian kebab). Taste them at Željo, Sarajevo’s most famous ćevabdžinica (kebab shop).

We also asked for a good recommendation for a place that served traditional Bosnian food for lunch and were given the brochure for Nanina Kuhinja. (I know I keep using the word “traditional” but we didn’t come all this way to eat hamburgers.) This place took us forever to find, mostly because the map on the brochure was completely wrong. Now, it was winter so instead of those traditional Bosnian stools around the low tables outside, it was regular-height tables and chairs inside.

NANINA KUHINJA. This restaurant is famous for the oriental interior, classic Bosnian cuisine, huge portions, and a cozy atmosphere. I thought it was too touristy and pricey compared to other restaurants in the same area. But the setting is pretty, the food is good and there is a nonsmoking policy (which is very rare in the Balkans.)

Located in the old town, Nanina Kuhinja is a Bosnian restaurant with an omnivorous menu, but has vegan and vegetarian options clearly labeled. This is a great place for veggie tourists to try Bosnian food. If you’re vegetarian, I highly recommend the cheese and roasted pepper dish; it was loaded with garlic and herbs and so tasty!

It's in the heart of Bascarsija and has outdoor seating so you can watch life go by as you dig in. The inside is also very cosy with old stone walls and big windows looking out onto the street. The restaurant serves a range of very reasonably priced Bosnian dishes (I recommend all of the stuffed vegetables).

Nanina Kuhinja, which translates to “Nana’s Kitchen,” lives up to its name by serving hearty, comforting Bosnian dishes in a cosy, welcoming setting. If you’re looking for a taste of home cooking, this is the place to be. 📍 Address: Bravadžiluk 2, Sarajevo

As for an actual restaurant recommendation, I quite liked Nanina Kuhinja right in the centre. Given its location, you’d think it would be touristy and overpriced, but felt fairly reserved in that regard.

On our first night in Sarajevo, we decided to go big and try Bosnian food right away. We searched Google for top-rated places and this is what we decided on.
