From Ginger to Coconut, Bye Sugar to Super Donkey, Rock&Raw to YumYum, Serbia’s brunch cafes and vegan hotspots have tasteful names to match their delicious food.
In today’s post, I’ll be sharing a few of my favourite places to enjoy avocado toast whilst exploring Serbia’s capital.
Being a European country with firm traditional and religious roots, do note that most cafes are not open on Sundays or have reduced opening hours. Make sure to check this before showing up at the door…. unless you want to be disappointed that you can’t get your avocado fix on a Sunday.
Avocadope Dishes
MIAM MIAM
Recommended for: Explosive, zesty, thick, avocado-“mayo” toast
Location: Near Kalenic Market
Review: Founded by Marija Veljanovska, Miam Miam, translating to “Yum Yum”, is a culinary heaven in the heart of Belgrade’s Vračar district. I opted for this delicious Avocado Toast – a basic option? No! Miam Miam have added a super innovative twist to this brunch staple which will get you running back for more. An Avocado-Mayonnaise-esque spread tops the crusty bread – the avocado paste is soft and creamy and has strong zesty vinegar vibes. Believe me, it’s HEAVEN. Topped with juicy pomegranate seeds to add a further kick. You can tell Miam Miam choose the best quality ingredients because nowadays pomegranate seeds can be to dry -but Miam Miam’s seeds are juicy and sweet. The Avocado Toast sure packs a powerful punch!
BEMATA
Recommended for: “I’m Vegan but my friend is a hardcore carnivore” – the Best of Both Worlds
Location: Vračar
Review: The creamy avocado mixture is soft and fluffy. 2 poached eggs rest on top, and once cut, flood the dish with a bright orange paradise. Bemata use gluten-free buckwheat bread – it’s satisfying yet light, and will not leave you feeling bloated! A sprinkling of nuts adds an extra kick, and compliments the refreshing tomato.
BLOOM
Recommended for: Healthy brunches
Location: Dorćol
Review: Vibrant and creamy avocado toast is spread on crispy toast, and topped with seeds, juicy tomato, salmon and a poached egg! It’s one of the best avocado toasts I’ve had and it may be Belgrade’s best!
BAGETERIJA
Recommended for: All-day raditional avocado toast
Location: Vračar
Review: Creamy avocado toast, which will give Mr Whippy a run for his money. Yes, you read right- this avocado mixture is delightfully creamy, and I’m sure there are long queues waiting for this dish on the weekends! A side salad with goat’s cheese adds a further soft and salty touch.
KOKOS BY JUST RAW
Recommended for: The creamy beetroot hummus toast with avocado slices
Location: Near Trg Nikola Pašića
Review: A creamy pink delight! Soft and salty beetroot hummus is generously spread on thick bread with melted butter to create a delicious, mouth watering dish. The pink bed is topped with slices of avocado to add a vibrant source of good fat! The side of salad and tomato adds a nice touch.
SUPER DONKEY
Recommended for: Wellness heaven
Location: Near Trg Nikola Pašića
Review: The avocado paste is a true delight- I’m not sure what is in this secret recipe, but there are zesty lemon, mint and chive notes. The little side green salad with tomatoes is a light and welcome addition. Topped with a runny poached egg, it’s a yummy brunch dish.
HOUSEWIFE DETOX
Recommended for: Wellness heaven
Location: Uzun Mirkova (what I like to call Belgrade’s Bond Street area)
Review: Housewife Detox have a multitude of healthy dishes for brekkie, lunch and dinner! I can’t wait to try the acai berry bowl with granola, banana, pomegranate and raspberries! Popping by for dinner? Try their light salad bowls or, if you’re feeling naughty, try a delish pizza!
