Local Cuisine Discoveries
So, let me tell you about my dining experience at Konoba Stari Grad in Herceg Novi. As soon as I stepped into this charming restaurant nestled in the heart of the Old Town, I was greeted by the warm Mediterranean breeze and the inviting aroma of grilled prawns.

(Bonus points for the friendly staff who were happy to recommend their favorite dishes.) Overall, Konoba Stari Grad is a solid choice for a delicious meal in Herceg Novi, whether you’re craving seafood or local specialties. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem in the Old Town!
