Restoran Bijelo Plavi
Restoran Bijelo-Plavi
A city institution open since 1978, right beside the old football stadium; many diners call it the best shepherd's stew in town.
An Osijek institution that opened in 1978. The name comes from the blue and white colors of the nearby Osijek football club, and it sits beside the old Gradski vrt stadium and the city swimming pool. The signature Slavonian shepherd's stew (čobanac) is served in a small iron pot with bread and homemade noodles, and several travel write-ups rank it the best in town. The menu also features grilled meats, bell-jar roast lamb and veal, stewed beans, stuffed sauerkraut rolls and pork knuckle. The pancake dessert of the same name is also recommended. There is indoor seating and a covered terrace, parking, and card payment. Booking is advised on weekends. It is about a 15-minute walk from the city center.
Opening hours
Daily about 8:00–24:00 (per Restaurant Guru; calling ahead is recommended)
