Serbian food is the strong Balkan inheritance: ćevapi grilled minced-meat skewers, pljeskavica burger-patty cousins, kajmak fresh cream cheese, gibanica filo-and-cheese pie, sarma stuffed cabbage. Belgrade's Skadarlija bohemian quarter has hosted kafana taverns since the 19th century; the city's modern dining scene rebuilt itself fast after 2000.
