Belgrade was always a center of the Balkans and the reason of 100 of wars, completely destroyd more than 43 times but every time rebilled and stood proud. The city where all good and respectful people are always welcome. And about the Mc Donald's, in Serbia was the first in all est Europe, opened in 1981, 10 years before all others. Glad that you and your wife had good time in my home town and hope you come back, all the best to you and your family
@user-ii3eu6xd8h That first Mcdonald's restoraunts in Belgrade brake some McDonalds records then,you can find on Mcdonalds website "1989 - The Slavija restaurant holds the world record for the number of patrons served in that year, numbering 2,046,014 customers served. 1990 - The Bezistan restaurant is the first McDonald’s in the world to serve more than 3 million people - specifically 3,585,554 1991 - The Bezistan restaurant is a world record holder for the most guests served in one day, on March 12, 1991 a total of 16,823 people were served.
Because our home is wherever we are currently living. Would you not agree it is more interesting to travel the world and see different places than to just film in one place?
Kinda’ fun to hear you guys amazed with the fact original brands and shopping exists in Belgrade and Serbia 😅. Belgrade alone has around 15 large shopping malls with more international brands than one can find in many western countries. Other than that Belgrade is such a lively and vibrant city with so much to see, taste and experience. Also a city that is growing in size and popularity every year, with notably more and more tourists discovering it. It’s a hidden gem of Europe, which only remains hidden due to the fact that people have prejudices about the place which are, needless to say, completely wrong. Regardless, I enjoyed your video and hope that you’re enjoying the city as much as I did, when I visited it a few years back.
Guys! Burek is the must. You can find it in bakeries. But I suggest you to go to Trpkovic Pekara and don't forget the yoghurt. Pekara Trpkovic Nemanjina 32, Belgrade Serbia here is the addres. Thank me later :)
I know what you mean, the food on offer in restaurants can be a bit repetative in all Balkan countries. Serbs definitely love and know how to grill meat, but the best traditional dishes are actually made at home. Unfortunately, not many restaurants offer them on their menus. Dishes like: sarma, podvarak, slatki kupus, pasulj/bean stew, punjena paprika, goulash, paprikash, boranija, djuvec, muckalica, pilav, cufte u sosu, kolaci, torte, krofne, gomboce, gibanica, etc, are a real treat.
Another great video!!! My wife and I both watched it and we could fully appreciate the satisfaction you both had after finally getting the taste of traditional North American fast food !
Zdravo Jay and Sarah! Love your videos ❤and hope to watch all of them. As an American, married to a Serbian woman and living in Serbia now for 4 years, it's great to see your impressions of this beautiful country. Belgrade is great, but I hope you can get out of Belgrade a little and see the "real" Serbia. I doubt most Serbs would consider their country to be richer economically than Croatia or Slovenia. As far as Serbia being more expensive than the coastal/tourist areas of Montenegro, we have found the opposite. But maybe Belgrade, as it's known to be considerably more expensive than the rest of Serbia. Glad you found some "back home" food, but hope you will experience some traditional Serbian food like sarma, punjene paprike, pasulj, and of course--for meat lovers--pecenija and rostilj which is everywhere. Looking forward to more videos!
Thanks! We did what we could in our limited time there between other things. It was a visit to see a Canadian friend who was born in Serbia and went home to visit friends, so we headed over to see him overseas.
I love that you two are doing this type of travel at your age - keeps you young! I visit Serbia often and love the vibe. You should take the fast train to Novi Sad , even for a day trip as it only takes 35 minutes. Novi Sad has a more chill vibe but also very enjoyable.
Hi and welcome! You pronounced kajmak and ajvar perfectly. The fritters are pronounced as ush-tipzi. I am glad you enjoyed the walk. We also have a Double Big Mac, FYI. We are still waiting for Burger King! For the Chinese food, their portions are huge. I think they also have half portions. It was a nice video, I liked it.
This area where you were walking it's the most expensive. If you move 15/20 minutes from that area to Voždovac and Banjica, you will find cheaper prices and better food 😊
@@JayandSarahBelgrade has become expensive in the last couple of years. Though nowhere near famous spots in western Europe. If you go out of it you are sure to find places with exquisite food and at almost half the price compared to major cities. Some of those restaurants never failed us and are on par in everything (except prices) with higher end restaurants in Belgrade and Novi Sad.
Your McD's experience reminds me of a guy that said his dream car was a Corvette and had a poster in his room and then when he actually got one, he thought it wasn't so nice and the dream in his mind was better!
Exactly!!!!!!! When you have had it, and miss it... your Vision of it is different than the reality. We actually made our own "Big Mac" burgers in a previous video as we were missing it so much... it took us almost 5 months to end up seeing a McDonalds, Chinese or Indian food in the Balkans. Belgrade is very fortunate to have so many types of places to eat.
Yeah too bad but what can you do. It's not like we flew to Belgrade for a vacation and it was too hot. We have been living in the Balkans not for almost half a year, much of which has been intensely hot.
7:04 I agree. A lot of fast food restaurants get local ingredients. For example, I don't like KFC at home. I tried it in the Virgin Islands and I was amazed. Completely different taste.
That was massive portions. I ate my entire plate, Sarah took some home. It was so good. The best part of Belgrade is the variety of food available in the city core.
No-brand fast food burger/grill market in Serbia is one of the best in the world, its huge and potent, serbian "pleskavica" is 2 x cheaper and 3x bigger and 5x tastier than brand burger, so McDonald's in Serbia is actually promoting its Mccoffee branch...
Never said it was the best. I’ve ate so much pljeskavica in the last several months living here. It was the novelty of finding a McDonald’s finally after many months. This is not about eating Serbian food. We can eat that at thousands of places..
Yes, we were very happy to have some Chinese food for a change. We did have some very good goulash and pork tenderloin stew at Kafana Mornar, as well as some other places. We have ate so much Cevapa in the last 5 months... It is possible to get goulash and cevapa at thousands of restaurants.. we were wanting a change and it's not common to find a Chinese or a McDonalds in the Balkans.
Brooo.. When you went past starbucks into the shopping mall, you literally walked on top of encased in glass, ancient pillars and walls back from Roman era.. How come you didn't film that, or you didn't notice it? 😅 That whole part of town is one huge archeological site, but since it's critical location, everything is under ground. But from time to time when building like this shopping mall was built, they took some artifacts so they won't end up destroyed, and they place them in various exhibits. In this case, in the entrance to the shopping mall, they made glass floor with exhibit below your feet basically
Omg 😮😮 I am sooo jealous I cannot speak. I am salivating over the chinese, been sooo long 😔 That looked fabulous what a great day! I'm glad you found the holy grail at last. Dinner in an hour homemade Burgers and chips 😋 ....... What I wouldn't give for a chinese though. Great Video ❤ 👍
We saw a few of them around town, we thought we'd died and gone to heaven! Are you enjoying the music and VoiceOver ? Is it making the videos more entertaining?
Thanks, just trying to get a bit better with each one.. testing a few ideas, thinking about how some of the professionals do it better so we can up our game and bring great content as much as possible!
Of course stuff is more expensive than.......if you as most tourist move like 500 steps in circle from absolute center. Belgrade us so much more. And there are a lot of affordable restaurants. Otherwise. Nice video.👍
Yes for sure the farther from downtown the more affordable it gets. This is same as the other countries we have been living in long term in Balkans. Unfortunately this was just a quick trip to see downtown and meet my Canadian friend who was born in Serbia and who was back for a wedding. Thanks for watching!
Dude, it's one video. You missed the context of the video. We've had enough traditional food from this region in 6 months to last a lifetime. The point was, it was the first McDonalds and Chinese we had seen in nearly 5 months. If you pay attention, you would have figured that out. For the record, what is "real food" in Belgrade? Probably lots of the stuff we actually ate there. Don't be so quick to judge.
@@JayandSarahBulgaria has become a tax heaven for various EU companies and that's what's pushing up it's GDP. Wages have remained quite low and that's the reason why Bulgaria has lost 30% of it's population to emigration over past 20ish years.
Yes the equipment - quite a bit of it is not in good condition, but there are lots of lines and frequent bus in the city. It could be worse, we have seen much worse.
You missed the point. We have been living in the balkans for nearly half a year. In that time we have not seen a McDonald’s until Serbia. As you see I said the local stuff is better. I’ve probably ate more pljeskavica in the last month than most people who live here. Watch some of our prior videos, lots of reviews on pljeskavica. It is not unique to Serbia. Thanks for watching!!
Man. You come to Belgrade and go to McDonald's ?! Like, really ? Literally, every fast food kiosk in Serbia is at least couple of times better than Mc.
Like, yeah, that's what I did. It's pretty self explanatory in the video WHY I did it... I hadn't come across a McDonald's in 5 months in the balkans, and I was curious as to how it would compare to a Big Mac at home. I am well aware of what is available and have ate lots of local food. Watch my video on the biggest burger in Belgrade, just don't tell me I should have had Pljeskavica instead. That too, is in the video. Thanks for watching.
@@JayandSarah Fair enough. Sorry, didn´t mean to sound rude or something. I kind of stumbled across your video and a bit later saw the other videos as well. Hope you´ve had a good time, it´s all that matters in the end :) Cheers.
We had a REALLY good time in Belgrade. That is an amazing city and we will come back. We had a short trip, it was not planned very much in advance... but we want to come back and spend a longer time there, maybe a month or two and get to see other cities as well, particularly to go to Nis for food.
If you come in the Balkans you must eat like balkans.Mc Donald's you find it in every country but it is not the "cousine"of that place.So try the best of balkans and go home with something new.
Yes well aware. We have been living in the Balkans for almost half a year, so we know what the food is like. This is the first McDonalds we have seen in all this time, it is not available in every country. We have been eating local cuisine for so long, we need something else for a change.
Little bit chaotic but safe and OK. As Serbian residentt I have to say that people here divide on two groups. First are happy with life in Serbia. Second, depressive who thinks it's a third world country and plan to immigrate to the West.
Why? Chinese food is available all over the world. The problem that exists in most of the balkans, is there is very good food variety. If you stay there long enough, you get completely sick and tired of eating their traditional food. Belgrade at least has some of these alternate options. We have lived in a place of the world that has every imaginable cuisine available. Moving to places that doesn't, means you seek out these things when you can. Cheers, thanks for watching.
You made me laugh , with stratigic movement , becouse that exact comment i commented fer days ago, i sad to mu friend , that nobody is out, and you have to , like in trose postapocaliptic movies , you have to walk carefuly , couse if son gets you you die.
Exactly! See we think alike. Glad you enjoyed the video and had a bit of a laugh. I like to make video with observation about things. This is my retirement hobby, to make travel video about our lives. Sometimes ordinary stuff, sometimes not so ordinary.
You might think that, but it's actually not true. Our waitress at our local Serbian cafe said many locals go there, and in fact - she confessed to loving the chicken McNuggets.
We didn't come to Belgrade to eat McDonalds, you are missing the premise of that section of the video. It's not idiotic, it served the purpose of our story living in the Balkans for the last half year. It was lost on you, it appears to have zoomed right over your head while not paying attention to the script. Pay attention to the plot, you might figure it out. Have a nice day, thanks for watching. You sound ignorant.
The point was to compare what the product is like compared to in North America. I think we've ate enough pljeskavica, stuffed burgers and cevapi to last for a long time. Thanks for watching.
There are Russian flags all over Belgrade, even the city legislature has Serbian and Russian flags all around it. There is a strong connection between these two countries historically.
oh my I am so sorry, I mistook you as the initial person who posted the rude comment. completely my mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thank you for coming to our defense, her comment was really nasty and there was no need for it.
You go to North America for half a year and find a Cevapi place and see what you do. Thanks for watching. That's not all we ate by the way... we have been in the Balkans for half a year already. Eating Cevapa and Goulash at this point is not something.
One of the best cities all around in Europe!!! Greetings from Toronto
Is a great city for sure!!!
Belgrade was always a center of the Balkans and the reason of 100 of wars, completely destroyd more than 43 times but every time rebilled and stood proud.

Exactly! See we think alike. Glad you enjoyed the video and had a bit of a laugh. I like to make video with observation about things. This is my retirement hobby, to make travel video about our lives. Sometimes ordinary stuff, sometimes not so ordinary.
only tourists eat mc donald in serbia
You might think that, but it's actually not true. Our waitress at our local Serbian cafe said many locals go there, and in fact - she confessed to loving the chicken McNuggets.
came to Serbia to eat mcdonalds is idiotic sorry...
We didn't come to Belgrade to eat McDonalds, you are missing the premise of that section of the video. It's not idiotic, it served the purpose of our story living in the Balkans for the last half year. It was lost on you, it appears to have zoomed right over your head while not paying attention to the script. Pay attention to the plot, you might figure it out. Have a nice day, thanks for watching. You sound ignorant.
Wow MC cancer and you have local stuffed burger to eat??
The point was to compare what the product is like compared to in North America. I think we've ate enough pljeskavica, stuffed burgers and cevapi to last for a long time. Thanks for watching.
Ok,you go to Serbia and eat McDonald's 😅😅😅😅
disappointing
Yes of course, why not. Hadn't seen one in several months of travel. We had enough local traditional food to last a lifetime thanks.
Once I see any Russian writings, or any Russian related things anywhere, I just say no Spasiba Comrade.
There are Russian flags all over Belgrade, even the city legislature has Serbian and Russian flags all around it. There is a strong connection between these two countries historically.
Niste prikazali ništa bitno.Ni spomenika,ni arhitekture,ni istorije a ni prave hrane.Šetate bez cilja po Beogradu.Glup video.
Our channel is about our lives as full time travellers. It doesn't need to show anything important, this is not a paid public service for Belgrade.
Odvratno je biti tako maliciozan.
@@vickoslavkovic2593 Malicious? You are the one who is rude.
@@JayandSarahThanks for that, and I tried to defend you.
oh my I am so sorry, I mistook you as the initial person who posted the rude comment. completely my mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thank you for coming to our defense, her comment was really nasty and there was no need for it.
Omg u came to Serbia so u can eat at Mac and Chinese food...
You go to North America for half a year and find a Cevapi place and see what you do. Thanks for watching. That's not all we ate by the way... we have been in the Balkans for half a year already. Eating Cevapa and Goulash at this point is not something.
@@JayandSarahtry "punjena pljeskavica" or "vešalica u maramici". Both can be found in many if not most Serbian fast food joints.
