Ulcinj cuisine, and the area's restaurants and cafes', represent the diversity of the area's historical, cultural, and maritime influences on this coastal community. Any local would feel compelled to express that food is generally excellent at the area's cafe's, but it is the seafood in Ulcinj that is truly without peer anywhere.
The heritage of 2,000 years of maritime activities likely contributes to this local view, but the unique warmth of local waters, local recipe ingredients, and the "always fresh" availability of the day's catch, also ensures that the local opinion has a solid foundation.
Food and Drink -- Eating out is fairly cheap. Pizzas are available everywhere and cost approx 1 euro for a takeaway slice or 3-5 euros for a whole one in a pizzeria. Tea/coffee is around 0.60 per cup. Cafes and restaurants rarely have menus in English but many have handy photo-style menus so you can point to what you want. Tasty locally made burgers and hot dogs are available from cafes and kiosks for around 1-1.5 euros. There are no Macdonald's, KFC or Burger Kings though! Most processed supermarket food is imported, mainly from Germany, Italy and Croatia, and as such, quite expensive. Locally produced fresh fruit & veg and bottled spring waters are very good buys as are Serbian produced fruit juices and jams. A 1 ltr bottle of locally produced vodka cost about 5 euros. Major resorts have plenty of bars and good nightlife facilities.
Making Burek - the Local Breakfast Staple -- Burek is Montenegro's "fast food," always baked fresh and available at local shops. Burek is generally served stuffed with either meats or cheeses. This video prepared by local TV Teuta shows how Burek is prepared.
