Calamari and Squid
If you’re staying on thecoast and have a view of the ocean, you’ll more than likely see the lights ofdozens of little boats out at sea all night. What are they doing? Fishing forsquid. The squid are caught on a line, one by one, by hand! You can get squid barbecued whole, stuffed with risotto, stuffed with prosciuttoand cheese, battered and fried, in risotto… any which way you like it. Italmost always comes with a side of silverbeet and potato cooked in garlic, which isa revelation in itself....
Meat 'Under the Hat'
This is quintessential Montenegrin food. It's called 'sac' (pronounced 'such') in Montenegrin. The meat (be it goat, veal or lamb) is slow roasted in ashes under an iron dome. The end result is fall-apart roasted meat that's served with the best roast potatoes you've ever had.
Cevapi and Pljeskavica
These are minced meatdishes which are found throughout the Balkans. Cevapi are little sausages andpljeskavica are burger patties. You can find them at restaurants served withfries and salad or at fast food stands in ginormous bread buns with cabbage andtomato. At a couple of Euros each, these ‘Balkan hamburgers’ are excellentvalue.
Burek
These are a regional favouriteand traditional breakfast. Burek is filo pastry filled with spinach, cheese ormeat and you eat it with a bottle of plain yogurt. In case you wonder why allthe bakeries sell yogurt, this is why. You can find burek or 'pita' at any bakery (pekara) for around €1.50.
Kajmak
Kajmakis a particular type of cream cheese which is very rich and can have a strong or mild flavour, depending on who made it and how aged it is. You can get it in restaurants (cevapi or pljeskavica with kajmakis one of my personal favourites) and you can buy it in the supermarket or at the town farmer's markets. For a mild version that's similar to butter (it's amazing with vegetables and over scrambled eggs) try the President version that's in every supermarket.
Cheese in Oil
When you go to a farmers market in Montenegro, you'll see big rounds of cheese for sale. These are called 'young cheese' and they're soft and mild. To get cheese in oil you take one of these young cheeses and age it in oil. The result is a sharp, crumbly cheese that pairs well with figs, proscuitto and soft, white Montenegrin bread. This is my favourite treat!
Silverbeet
Accompanying seafood dishes, you'll often get a side of silverbeet. Now you might not be much of a greens-eater, but the Montenegrin version will convert even the most stubborn carnivore. It's sauteed with garlic and served with potato... you'll never look at humble silverbeet the same again!
Bajadera
No list would be complete without thenation’s favourite dessert. You can find versions of this in cake and chocolateform. It’s always got three layers, two chocolate ones and walnut one and asyou can imagine, it’s very rich and decadent. If you're visiting someone at home, grab a box of Bajadera at your local shop for your host and they'll be very happy.
Baklava
My favourite Montenegrin food of them all - this dessert is made of layers of filo pastry which alternate with layers of ground walnuts. The whole dish is soaked in sugar syrup and finished with a touch of lemon.
Pancakes
Pancakes(palačinke) is an extremely popular dish in Montenegro. Rather than having them for breakfast, Montenegrins have them as a dessert or snack and even sometimes for dinner. The thin crepe-likepalačinkecome served with walnuts and honey; Nutella and ground cookies and even deep fried and stuffed with ham and cheese. There are dozens of ways to enjoy pancakes in Montenegro and you'll find them on the menu in almost every restaurant and cafe.
So now you know what Montenegrin food to try during your stay, what about drink? Like most of Europe, a glass of wine or beer with a meal is traditional. Many households still make their own wine every year and red wine is by far the most popular. You'll find alcohol served in every cafe and restaurant in Montenegro. When you get tired of sightseei...
Mar 30, 2020 · Montenegro food is generally divided into three regional styles: the mountains, the heartland and the coast. As you get closer to the coast, fresh seafood begins to dominate the menu. And Buzara is one of those must-try Montenegrin specialities you simply have to sample.
