What the guide flags for food lovers.

Look for a busy grill or bakery with a short menu; a long list of every dish is a sign of a tourist kitchen. (Eat guide · rules)
Ask the price of extras such as kajmak and bread before they arrive. (Eat guide · rules)
Check whether service is already on the bill; if it is, no extra tip is needed. (Eat guide · rules)
