A Foodie鈥檚 Guide to Montenegro: Budva Restaurants, Budva, Montenegro

The clue is in the name: Montenegro means 鈥渂lack mountain鈥�, and the dark rocks covered in forest-green foliage flank the country鈥檚 coastal towns like towering monoliths. Down at sea level, however, it鈥檚 a different story: Budva boasts a stunning Old Town, plenty of beaches (although the sand is, unsurprisingly, the colour of Montenegro鈥檚 characteristic dark rock), and oodles of beach bars and restaurants to keep you sated while you鈥檙e not sightseeing or sunbathing. Food in Budva is as you might expect from a town at the heart of the Adriatic: heavy in fish and seafood, with some traditional Balkan dishes but a strong influence from the Mediterranean 鈥� especially Italy. You鈥檒l see restaurants serving pizza and pasta everywhere, so in this guide I鈥檝e decided to focus on the food that might be a little harder to find鈥�

One of the best selections of traditional Montenegrin dishes that we came across was at Restora Rivijera in Budva鈥檚 Old Town. I recommend ordering the聽makarule sa pa拧ticadom: a kind of beef stew served with homemade pasta (made from a dark flour that I couldn鈥檛 identify) doused in olive oil and shavings of a hard local goat鈥檚 cheese. The stew was rich with warm spices, and the noodles had a bite to them that reminded me of Swiss聽sp盲tzli. Be sure to try a glass or two of the 鈥�8 Tamburasa鈥� wine as well 鈥� a fantastic white blend from Serbia. I can鈥檛 find a website or even a phone number for Restora Rivijera, but their address is 16 Njego拧eva, Budva. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
