The Balkans offer some of the best and most comforting cuisine, a perfect mixture of many different flavors including those of Greece, Italy, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia and even Turkey and the Middle East as a result of years under Ottoman rule. This blending creates a sensory experience unlike any other, not too overwhelming, yet never bland or boring. The Balkan Bakery Cafe, on 218 Water St West, right behind the Downtown mall, is the most recent addition to Charlottesville impressively diverse cuisine. The fare includes meat pies (burek), lots of baked goods, cakes, baklava, and even Croatian paninis, soups and salads for lunch or dinner.
