Cuisine

Montenegro cuisine best combines the Mediterranean and northern regional cuisines.

A traditional form of cooking is ispod - 'under the coals' - in a pot known as a sac. You shouldn’t miss to try lamb, veal or sea food prepared this way.

We recommend you to try – Njeguski steak, lamb cooked in milk, sour cream called kajmak, Njeguski prsut (smoked ham), njeguski cheese, donuts served with honey (priganice).

There is a lot of fish specialties prepared in several ways – on grill with aromatic additives, unavoidable rosemary and olive oil, or fried with potato salad. Fish meals go well with domestic lemon, laurel, garlic and parsley.

Food from the grill – Montenegrins are known as great lovers of the grill, especially the tasty cevapi.
