Flavors of the Adriatic Sea and the Black Mountain
Montenegrin cuisine is clearly divided into two: that of the coast, with Mediterranean influence, with fresh fish, seafood, olive oil and vegetables; and that of the mountainous interior, much more robust, based on smoked meats, dairy products, stews and dishes based on corn and potatoes.
Must-Try Dishes
Njeguški pršut
The famous cured and smoked ham from the village of Njeguši. Its unique flavor is due to the mountain air and the drying process. It is served thinly sliced, often with local cheese ('Njeguški sir').
Jagnjetina ispod sača
Lamb cooked 'under the sač', a large metal lid covered in embers. This slow cooking method makes the meat incredibly tender and juicy, often cooked alongside potatoes.
Kačamak
A very filling mountain dish, similar to polenta. It is made with corn and potato flour, and served with cream cheese ('kajmak') or sour yogurt. It will give you energy for the whole day.
Buzara
A seafood stew (usually mussels or prawns) cooked in a sauce of white wine, garlic, parsley and tomato. It is a coastal classic.
Crni rižot
Black risotto, a popular dish throughout the Dalmatian coast. Its color and intense sea flavor come from squid ink.
Riblji paprikaš / Riblja čorba
A spicy fish soup or stew, typical of the Lake Skadar area. It is made with freshwater fish (generally carp) and paprika ('paprika').
Typical Drinks
Rakija
The brandy of the Balkans. The grape variety ('Lozova rakija' or 'Loza') is the most popular, followed by the plum variety ('Šljivovica'). It is drunk as an aperitif to welcome.
Wine (Vranac and Krstač)
Montenegro has a long winemaking tradition. 'Vranac' is the flagship red wine, robust and powerful. 'Krstač' is the main variety of white wine, fresh and indigenous.
Nikšicko Pivo
The national beer par excellence, a light and refreshing lager that is found everywhere. It is the perfect companion for an informal meal.
Medovina
Mead, a traditional alcoholic drink made from the fermentation of honey. It is sweet and aromatic.
