About Restaurant Podgora
Restaurant Podgora was built in 2014 in local ethno style, with wood and stone giving the dining room real warmth; there are 50 seats inside and 40 on the terrace. The kitchen cooks the food of the Durmitor highlands, from lamb soup and cheese pie with kajmak to roasts and generous grills, alongside national and international dishes. Its own butcher’s counter sells local meats, including cured meat dried in the house smokehouse. It is near Žabljak’s bus station, 400 metres from the Javorovača ski slope, ideal after a day on the trails.
