Balkan Fresh Burek

For some reason people rave about the bureks sold at the Queen Victoria Market. I don’t see the appeal, myself. It’s not that they’re bad, but they’re nothing on those found in the former Yugoslavia, and in fact, aren’t even Melbourne’s best.

Balkan Fresh Burek (351 High St, Preston) serves Macedonian style bureks, although I struggle to really distinguish the different types. There are three fillings to choose from, including meat, cheese, and spinach & cheese.

Your best bet is to simply order whatever is freshest, as they certainly taste best immediately out of the oven when the pastry is at its crispest. Alternatively choose one of the round style bureks, which are made-to-order.
