The food was delicious and unique - I’ve never had Serbian food before but it reminded me a bit of Greek food with a twist

Cafe Beograd — among the best cafe in Avondale. Unpretentious and comfortable, exactly what you want. The kitchen takes tradition seriously. Well-priced. Vladimir Vukanić: "We tried thechevapchici, and they were some of the best I’ve had—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled" [$$, patio]

☀️Patio — a Avondale classic in summer.

Best cevapi in town. The patio is a lovely summer experience. There's an extensive non alcoholic beverage menu just like in Europe. We like to come here for a casual European style dining. There's also a mini grocery store attached and they have delicious thick cut bacon that we always take home with us.

Fantastic Serbian cuisine! The decor feels like an old Serbian farmhouse. The food is some of the best I've had. Our servers were friendly and attentive. There's even a small market attached if you want European specialties to take home.

Hearty, healthy (ish) and delicious! If you are seeking a no BS filing meal where you can also get wonderful sides of vegetables, this may be your spot. Everything was served promptly and everything looked/smelled/tasted great. The Serbian beers were great, if you like lager/pilsner kinda of beers try them out. Service was friendly and prompt. This is the kind of food that will satisfy you winter or summer. And if you get there before 7pm be sure to check out their grocery store. Lots of interesting things in there.

Great place for an authentic European (Serbian) food experience. We enjoyed the Mixed Sampler Plate with various delicious meats, was a generous portion with fresh bread. And the Cheese Burek-Pie & cabbage salad were delish too! We received wonderful service from Valentina. Highly recommended place 👍

All the food was really good! I especially liked the burek, but I also tried a sandwich and omelette. We also liked our food so much that we ended up having a post breakfast dessert. Be prepared to wait for the burek, but when it comes out, it's crispy and hot on the inside and out. 😋

First time trying Serbian food, and this place came highly recommended by my boyfriend’s friend, it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, and our server Nada was super friendly and took the time to explain the dishes and how to eat them, which we really appreciated. We had the veal soup, and it was rich and comforting with incredibly tender veal, highly recommend it. The ćevapčići were flavorful with a nice charcoal-grilled taste, and the burek was crispy, flaky, and delicious. Overall, a great dining experience. There’s also a market next door, which is fun to check out after eating.
