In order to get to the heart of Montenegro you shall have to try the specialties of the national cuisine. The diversity of Montenegrin nature and the ethnographic diversity have left a trace on Montenegrin cuisine. Whether you are dining at your friend's, in an authentic Montenegrin home, or in some restaurant, you shall be cordially welcomed.

Montenegrins are good and generous hosts.
When expecting a guest, according to an old time custom, as a sign of hospitality they open wide the door or the gate. They offer to the guest the best food and drink they have in the house, reserve for him the best place at table and do their best to make his stay in their home as comfortable as possible.

If you know where somebody lives in Montenegro, you can guess what s/he eats. Cuisine succumbs to the relief and takes what the nature has to offer.
Culinary art of Montenegro blends in the best possible way the gifts of the Mediterranean and the treasures of the mountains from the north.
It is faithful to tradition, and yet open to experiment.
