This Kalenić market food tasting in Belgrade takes you through one of the city’s oldest farmers markets in 90 minutes. You taste seven traditional Serbian foods right at the stalls, from producers the guide has bought from for years. It’s a private tour, so only your group joins, and it suits first-time visitors who want to know what to eat in Belgrade and where locals actually buy it.
The guide has been a regular at Kalenić farmers market for 15 years and knows the producers by name. You move from counter to counter in this order:
After the tasting, the guide walks you around the neighborhood and points out where locals eat and meet: old restaurants, newer bistros and favorite cafes.
Past travelers mention the relaxed pace and how fresh everything tastes. Many also enjoy the market itself, with its smells, colors and friendly stall owners. Some buy a jar of ajvar to take home, which is extra and not part of the tasting.
Check the dates and availability to plan your morning at the market.
Led by your guide, you'll hop across the Kalenić Farmers Market to taste best and freshest burek, ajvar, kaymak, čvarci, ćevapi and oriental style sweets.The bites are hand-picked from farmers and traditional producers we know by name.You'll start your tasting exploration as the locals do: with phyllo pastry called burek, in a family-owned bakery that's been in business for 80 years. Next, you'll hop to the stall with the awarded ajvar, a pepper spread that grown the reputation of vegetable caviar and here the family recipe. Ajvar naturally leads to kaymak, a yummy dairy spread that contains nothing but milk and salt. The next taste is čvarci, pork belly scratchings that both crunch and melt on palates. As for the famous Serbian grill, you'll hop to the locals' favorite place to taste ćevapi (grilled minced meat batons). We conclude the tasting with the traditional desserts, telling of Middle-Eastern influences that arrived a long time ago with the Ottomans.
The streets surrounding the market always offer best food, coffee and people watching opportunities. The light walk will make you an insider in knowing where to get the best of tastes, socializing and relaxing.

I’ve heard about delicious Serbian food and wanted to find out where it was coming from. The tour was spot on. Everything we sampled was fresh and delicious. I loved the atmosphere of the market, its scents, colors and sounds, and how people were friendly to each other.
Super relaxing experience, you taste bites from counter to counter and pick up the Serbian food traditions along the way. The food was delicious! The guide Ksenija made us feel like regular customers.
I enjoyed every bit and bite. From an old school burek bakery where you’re greeted with a big smile and taste the steamy burek that just got out of the owen, to the charming old lady who serves traditional desserts from her tiny kiosk…amazing! So real and so rare these days!
