What to eat in Sokobanja

Sokobanja has no signature dish of its own — the food is what eastern Serbia eats generally, just at a spa town's pace: a cooked dish of the day for lunch, grilled meat for dinner, all in restaurants in the town centre, on the same stretch as the Amam and the park.

The set lunch

A cooked dish of the day, different every day of the week, €4.34 — the usual price for a working lunch in the centre's restaurants. This is the cheapest way to eat a hot meal in Sokobanja, and it's normally only served until mid-afternoon.

The grill and the main course

A main course in a restaurant runs €6.15–12.80 — the range starts at chicken drumstick at the lower end and tops out at karađorđeva, with pljeskavica and ćevapi somewhere in between. The price depends mainly on the cut of meat, not much on which restaurant.

The Amam isn't a meal, but it shapes the day

Bathing, massage and inhalation at the Amam aren't part of this page, but they shift when you eat — anyone booked for a morning treatment pushes lunch later, into the afternoon, when the centre's restaurants fill up.
