Sitting pretty in the leafy, green suburb of Graceville, Balkan Lounge on Oxley Road serves up a taste of authentic former Yugoslavian fare. A warm ambiance of worn brick and dark wood furniture teamed with candle lit tables and striking artwork greets diners as they step through the door, or in balmier months take a seat alfresco and peruse a menu offering choices from the heart of Bosnia, Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia. Perhaps try ustipci - savoury doughnuts, with smoked beef and sour cream for breakfast, while those dropping by later may be tempted by choices such as Cevapi - traditional Balkan skinless sausages, or a handmade filo pastry pite, filled with choices such as mushroom and chicken. Pizza and mezze plate options may also appeal, washed down with a glass of Balkan sourced wine.
