Serbian Cuisine

Indulge yourself in a range of exotic foods that will have your taste buds tingling at the festival. Enjoy some of Serbia’s most delicious foods and experience a small portion of Serbia’s finest cuisine. Below are some of the favourite delicacies that will be available for purchase at the Serbian Festival in Calgary.

Chevapi (Minced Sausages)

This little tongue-twister is one of the first words a foreigner learns upon arriving to Serbia! Ćevapčići are meat fingers made of minced beef and veal, infused with spices and grilled to perfection.

Roasted Meats (pork and lamb)

After the meat is washed, cleaned and seasoned liberally with salt, it is roasted whole on a spit and enjoyed with lepinja (home-meade bread) and salad.

Palačinke (Crepes) / Other Sweets

Enjoy a great assortment of sweets including palačinke. These delicate crepes are simple to prepare and can be made either sweet or savoury.
