The Best Restaurants in Bar

BY SARAH

Bar has a unique east-meets-west flavour compared to the rest of Montenegro.

While you're here, trying one of the Turkish-influenced restaurants in the narrow old town streets is a must-do.

Then there are the seafood restaurants that will blow you away with fresh-caught and traditionally prepared Montenegrin seafood... with a sea view naturally.

But the number one must eat in Bar is... olives. One of Bar's claims to fame are its olive groves - one of which could be the oldest olive tree in the world. So it's no surprise you must try their olives and olive oil while you're here.

Konoba Bedem

Hands down the best place to eat in the old town. Konoba Bedem serves excellent, fresh meals that locals and tourists alike rave about. The food has a Turkish influence that you don't find further north on the Montenegrin coast, so it's worth trying something different if you're staying north of here.

The experience is topped off with an eclectic, homey terrace overlooking the main street leading to the old town.

Local's Tip: To eat like a local, finish off your meal with a cup of thick Turkish coffee and sticky sweet like baklava or tulumba!

Kaldrma

On the same street as Konoba Bedem, Kaldrma is another traditional restaurant service Turkish-influenced local dishes. In keeping with Muslim tradition, you can't buy alcohol here but everyone says the cranberry juice and Turkish coffee more than make up for it. The eggplant in tomato sauce dish from Kaldrma is not to be missed!

Konoba Ribar

This restaurant is a wee way out of Bar and you'll need a rental car to get there. But it's worth it. Friends of ours who are Bar locals rave about this restaurant and so do the tourists who make the trip up there.

Konoba Ribar is a great place to try Montenegrin seafood - sea bass, octopus, calamari... and olives :). Sit inside by the fire on cooler nights or bring some long sleeves and watch the sun set over the Adriatic in summer.
