I love cheese borek and borek with potatoes&herbs. Never tried to make it at home though… the last time I had one was in Croatia, but it was not so good :(

Hi
I have Borek everytime I visit Melbourne, I love it , it is so good and I agree the Lamb is the best option -does anyone or wll anyone get the recipe from those lovely Turkish ladies for me – I dont live in Melbourne and I would love to make it at home -I tell everyone visiting Melbourne to go to the market and have the spicy lamb borek -can anyone help?

Those boreks are my absolute favourite- hands-down one of the best bargains in the Queen Victoria Markets. I buy them everytime I visit the markets.

It’s amazing how each batch sells out in minutes- but the turnover ensures you get them fresh and hot. Yum.

Yes, they (Le Cedre) do a borek, but it’s not a highlight. The labna however, is excellent.

I think that lebanese restaurant in PP (st 352?) attempts a borek.

Borek is definitely Turkish in origin (like most Balkan food), and the way they do it here is in that tradition.

Macedonian burek is in my opinion the best of the Balkan bureks – Balkan Fresh Burek near Preston market. A burek and a yogurt from BFB can destroy a hangover.

You gotta know how to order it at the Vic Mkt too: push straight to the front with your $2.50. The ladies have contempt for liner uppers…

Judah Friedlander seems to be mad for cevapci and borek….

And reinforces the Balkan theory?

It’s great to have access to such different cuisines so close together. Sounds like you’re spoilt for choice. A hot fresh borek at that price is definitely a bargain!
