Perhaps surprisingly – given its sleepy village location – Stari Most is one of Montenegro’s finest restaurants. It’s well located on the marble riverside promenade, looking to the old bridge from which it derives its name. Fish (particularly eel, trout and carp) is the speciality here and the fish soup alone is enough to justify a drive from Podgorica.
