Aščinica Balkan II
A simple cafeteria next to the Mala Tepa market, serving home-style stews, stuffed dishes, and grilled meats, with vegetarian options.
Located at Mala Tepa 12 on the north side of the Old Town, near the market, this is a traditional, no-frills aščinica. Common dishes include Bosnian pot, stuffed vegetables, japrak (stuffed grape leaves), and mixed grill platters. You can also order meatless đuveč (vegetable stew), potato pie, and stewed beans, making it relatively vegetarian-friendly. Takeout is available, there is outdoor seating, and cards are accepted. Reviews are mixed: some praise the value for money and meat pies, while others mention average food quality and hygiene issues. Expect to spend about 10–25 BAM per person.
