Influences from Turkey, Italy and Croatia have all enhanced Montenegrin cuisine. Dishes are often meat-based and hearty. Must-tries include kuvani brav, a boiled lamb stew, and pljeskavica, which is similar to a hamburger without the bun. Desserts include delicate pastries, such as krempita or baklava. Montenegrins take their coffee in the Turkish style, which means that the grounds are simmered, and the taste is very sweet. Sok od Šipka, a sweet pomegranate syrup, is sometimes mixed with mineral water for a refreshing beverage. Two people can enjoy a meal with multiple courses in a nicer restaurant for around $35.
