Mostar has a modest but genuine halal food scene, reflecting its Muslim heritage and diverse population. Most halal options are concentrated in the Old Town and Bazar area, with Turkish and Bosnian cuisine dominating. Finding certified halal can be challenging; many spots are Muslim-run and pork-free by practice rather than formal certification.
