Stara Kuca in Podgorica, tel. +382.069.030204, nice cuisine in Montenegro (translated into English by Slawka G. Scarso)
Unknown Montenegro. This time we’re not referring to the famous Italian Amaro that saves the life of many people in TV ads, but to the small and picturesque Balkan state overlooking the Adriatic Sea. A destination that surely isn’t popular, but is much beloved by those seeking adventure, breath-taking landscapes and wild nature. It is less popular instead among those who want to discover local cuisine, which is still rather rough and influenced by the bordering countries, or simply based on offering the best local raw materials, without too many complications or aesthetic frills. Over here, practicality and a full plate are values that put a big smile on a guest. But there are a few good trusted places, especially near Podgorica, the capital. One should make a dutiful premise, however: Montenegro is a country of enthusiastic meat eaters and grilled-vegetables lovers. These remain dishes not to be missed, and the best to choose, almost always. Instead, it is rare that fish arrives fresh from the sea and it’s almost always frozen.
