Bosanska Kuća
Bosanska Kuća 'Come eat,' says the waiter in national costume, inviting you into a restaurant promoting Bosnian tradition in food and setting. This snappy joint makes choosing easier with its colour-picture menu - maybe a kebab, some grilled fish, or stuffed peppers or aubergines for vegetarians.

Butik-Badem
Nibbles from this health-food shop include yummy chocolate-coated pistachios, fruit bars and nuts.
-
Dveri
A tiny restaurant-in-hiding, which could just pass as someone's kitchen laid out to receive family guests. Try one of their home-made brandies (quince, walnut?) while you watch the cook prepare your meal in surroundings hung with strings of garlic, chillies and corncobs.
-
Inat Kuća
The restaurant was once on the other side of the river, but when the authorities wanted to demolish this traditional Bosnian house to build the town hall the owner insisted it be reconstructed here - hence the name. Offerings range from snacks, a sticky baklava, a bowl of chips and beer to a full-blown grill. In warm weather the riverside terrace is the spot for a bit of afternoon relaxation and reading. The service is a bit casual, so keep them on their toes.

Indoor Market
In a remarkable neoclassical building, it sells dairy products and meat.
-
Mash
Cool, suave place with sofas for a late-night or early-morning collapse, and bar stools for coffee- and snack-grabbers. Sandwiches, snacks and a few veggie dishes (eg fajitas) feature on the menu.

Metropolis
A big restaurant with a large display of eat-me cakes that's popular with everyone who loves those delicious creamy things.
-
Outdoor Market
Near the cathedral, this market overflows with fruit and vegetables.
-
Pekara Edin
An always-open bakery selling pizza slices, pastries and burek . The krompiruša (spicy potato burek ) provides just the wake-up call for a sleepy palette.

Plava Prizm
Got two hours for lunch? That's how long it takes the world to turn around you on this 15th-floor revolving restaurant, atop the gleaming glass Avaz Business centre. We recommend the mushroom stew that comes with a baked pastry top.
-
Restaurant Jež
A mood of intimacy is felt from the moment you walk into the warmly lit antiques arcade leading into this basement restaurant. Bring the love of your life for that 'heads together, rest of the world doesn't exist' meal. If solo, then fill those noneating moments checking the grandmother clocks on the wall - how many tell the correct time?
-
Taj Mahal
For those missing their spices, the dishes here range from the innocuous to a throat-searing application of chillies. There are plenty of vegetarian dishes plus lots of Sarajevo beer to extinguish any fire.
-
Tavola
A simple, elegant, old-fashioned restaurant where frequent customers are greeted like old friends. Voices here will tend to be non-Bosnian as it's popular with expats, who have the time and networks to discover the best a town has to offer. Parting guests have left messages written on muslin pieces, which have been framed, backlit and hung on the wall.
-
To Be or Not to Be
Somewhat similar in style to the Dveri, To Be or Not to Be offers grills, generous salads and tangy seafood dishes in its cosy dining room. We ended up with a whale of a fish and more veggies on one plate than we've ever seen in a Balkan restaurant. If you look at the signboard outside you'll notice that the words 'or not' have been crossed out; this alteration was made during the siege when the owners wanted to present a far more positive message.

Žjelo
Two branches on the same street says something about the popularity of this ćevabdžinica .
