Food and drink

Grilled meats feature prominently on the Montenegrin or Serbian menu, most grandly in the combination commonly known as the roštilj (‘grill’), and eating out in Montenegro will be a trying experience for vegetarians. Vegetarians or those fed up with mixed grills should ask: ‘Da li imate nešto bez mesa?’ (‘Do you have something without meat?’). For non-vegetarians, ćevapčići and šopska salata make a delicious and cheap meal which is served throughout the country.

Fish is also generally in good supply. Fresh fruit and vegetables are available on local markets, along with local cheeses and dried meats.

Rakija, a potent local spirit, comes in a number of guises, including travarica (made with herbs) and loza (made from grapes); and sampling a good domaća (‘homemade’) is an integral part of travelling in the region. The best Montenegrin wine comes from Crmnica, the region northwest of Lake Skadar; the best local beer is the eponymous Nikšić Pivo. Fruit juice is widely available.
