Famous restaurants outside Sarajevo: Mostar, Travnik, Jablanica and Blagaj

Half the pleasure of a trip in Bosnia is where you stop for lunch. Every town has its dish, and these are well-known names on the most popular routes from Sarajevo. Links open the location and ratings on the map.

Travnik

Travnik ćevapi differ from Sarajevo’s: the bread is dipped in broth before serving. The best-known name is Ćevabdžinica Hari. Afterwards have coffee at Plava Voda in Lutvina kahva, with the stream running under your feet.

Jablanica (on the road to Mostar)

The classic lunch stop between Sarajevo and Mostar: lamb turning on spits in front of the roadside restaurants. A well-known one is Zdrava Voda. Meat is sold by the kilo; order potatoes and salad with it.

Mostar

Around the Old Bridge: Šadrvan for mixed Bosnian platters and Tima-Irma for grills. For Bosnian coffee roasted on the spot: Café de Alma.

Blagaj

By the dervish house and the source of the Buna there is a row of restaurants with tables right on the water, serving fresh trout. Pick a table near the spring — the restaurants at the Buna source all appear on the map with their ratings.

Halal food is generally available in these towns, and some tourist restaurants serve alcohol — ask before you sit down if it matters to you.
