Serbian food is typical of Eastern European food, with a hint of Balkan and French flavours. Serbians rarely go to restaurants, so there is a shortage of decent restaurants, most of which are French restaurants. Farmers in the mountains or resorts sell fresh fruit and cheese, milk is rich in fat, many shops sell milk powder, and the streets can see cheap grilled meat with Turkish-style baked cakes, which are still fresh and warm in the morning, and taste the best. Serbia's "fast food" refers to pre-prepared microwave food, and it is more appropriate to have reservations about it.
Eating habits are similar to most European countries, paying more attention to lunch, breakfast and dinner are relatively simple, contrary to domestic eating habits. Lunch usually begins with soup, followed by a main course (usually roast pork, beef or chicken) and a snack.
