Konoba Lanterna

Konoba Lanterna is a small tavern on Kralja Nikole in the old centre of Podgorica. A konoba is a particular thing along this coast and its hinterland — the traditional Adriatic eating house, historically the room where wine was kept — and the word sets the expectation better than the English "restaurant" would.

The house describes itself plainly and does not oversell: a small and pretty konoba in the middle of the city, an interior of stone and wood, attentive staff and traditional cooking. Those three together are what a konoba is meant to be, and the room is honest about being small.

Two practical things. Tables can be reserved through the restaurant's own site, which matters in a room of this size. And the kitchen delivers food and drink to any address in the Podgorica area, which is unusual for a traditional house and useful if you are staying outside the centre.

It opens every day from midday to eleven at night, straight through, with no closing day.

Kralja Nikole is one of the main streets of the newer town, running south-west from the centre and walkable from the old quarter across the Morača. It is named after Nikola I, the last king of Montenegro, and it is one of the arteries the city grew along after the war, so the address puts the konoba among shops and offices rather than in the tourist streets — which is generally where the cooking is better.

You will find Konoba Lanterna at Kralja Nikole 36, 81000 Podgorica.
