Ćevabdžinica Željo
A famous Baščaršija grill opened in 1968, widely regarded as the benchmark for Sarajevo's ćevapi.
Located on Kundurdžiluk Street in the Old Town, with two branches on the same street, this spot is famous for its charcoal-grilled skinless sausages (ćevapi), which can be ordered in portions of 5, 10, or 15 pieces, served with somun bread, onions, and kajmak (clotted cream). The setting is simple with a fast table turnover, so no reservations are needed. It gets crowded during peak lunch hours, so arriving before 11:30 or after 14:00 is recommended. No alcohol is served, and cash is the most convenient payment method, paid at the counter on your way out. Expect to spend about 10–15 BAM per person. Easily walkable from anywhere in the Old Town.
