Wine and dine


MONTENEGRO WINE & DINE

Montnegro is a small country but the food differs depending of the area you are staying in. Focus is always on traditional meals and tasts. 

In the southern areas food is mostly focused on sea fish dishes and mostly Mediterranean, also very influenced by Italian cuisine (pizza, pasta ...).

In the central and northern areas its mostly continental with lots of meat dishes, very influenced with eastern Mediterranean cuisine.

Traditional breakfast consists
of Priganice with local honey and cheese (on the picture). Montenegrin honey is very tasty due to the fact that the area is rich in Mediterranean herbs and spices.

Local restaurants have a limited offer of vegan meals and gluten free meals (except for salads). However, gluten free products are available in groceries. 
Typical national restaurant menu consists of grilled meat meals (so called ¨Ćevapi˝), stuffed pork fillet and lamb with potatoes (prices from 7-16 euros each).
When it comes to fish, the offer consists of grilled octopus, calamari, seafood spaghetti, different kind of fresh fish, mussels, shrimps, normally pricing from 10-20 euros per meal.       




Montenegrians are real coffe fans. Its not about coffe as much for the coffe break! Generaly a very good coffe is served in cafes and restaurants in different sorts of cold or warm servins, with or without cream, icecream, ice and flavors.

Traditionaly served coffe in restaurant "Kladrma" in Old Bar, Montenegro

Podgorica for tourists - from perspective of locals

Image
What to see in Podgorica? You can easily find a top 10 places to visit in Podgorica sites, but, the real soul of the city can only be felt when walking down the city streets and visiting it's cult places... Sastavci is definitely one one them. It is a place where two rivers gather, Moraca and Ribnica. Originating from Roman period, when Podgorica was part of ancient Prevalis, this bridge is still standing over Ribnica river. It kept its original shape, and in time had only some minor reconstructions. This used to be favourite place for young couples to meet and enjoy the evening by the calm water of Moraca at the time when cafees were not so popular meeting places, as they are now. St Peters of Cetinje Boulevard is the most frequent Street in Podgorica (and my neighborhood). It's known for its old tries that make it shady and pleasant to have a nice walk down the street in sunny and warm days. Trees flourish in spring and their beautiful blue flowers arrange the ...

Location perfect for exploring Montenegro?

Image
When my friend was visiting me last summer I was thinking: where on Earth should I tell him to stay? He wanted to visit many beaches, Boka Bay, but also several rivers and lakes on the north, as well as the Old Capital of Cetinje and Ostrog Monastery. Ok, it's a great plan! - I had to admit. But, he wanted to know where to stay... Where to look for...? We both agreed that it has to be on the coast, since he was mostly interested in what I call 'sun&sea'. He also planned to rent a car, so that he could visit all the places he wanted. I was a bit worried, because roads in Montenegro are (being a hilly mountain country) curvy, drivers are nervous when the temperature rises and so on... parking spaces lacking, traffic jams when everybody comes back from the beach, I mentioned, but he didn't listen. In addition he arranged a driver to wait for him at the airport, and it all went well (he landed in Podgorica, so needed a lift to the coast). We decided to look fo...

Lukavica Mountain, Montenegro

Image
Lukavica mountain was in the past the place farmers use to visit in the summer with their cattle. They built small stone houses where they stayed for a couple of hot months. Those places were called Katuns. Many tribes in ancient Montenegro had katuns on certain mountains. Which mountain was going to be a Katun of certain tribe was decided by the King. In katuns, the mountain offered green grass for cows and sheep all over the hot summer season. Nowadays, Lukavica mountain is a very well known tourist site. Big and Small Zurim are well known Montenegrin sites visited by hundreds of tourists every year. It is a very popular hiking destination. There are still few families that stay in the mountain with the cattle for the summer, but they are rare. People moved searching for a better and easier life, life in towns... Lukavica Mountain, almost 2000 meters high, is a haven for different sorts of herbs that grow in this area and can stand  high and low temperatures,...
