A heartwarming meal at Konoba Bocun – Budva, June 2024
While in Budva, we chose Konoba Bocun, a lovely family-run restaurant slightly tucked away from the main streets — and what a great choice it was.
We had the traditional Montenegrin dish Njeguški Stek, which was rich and flavorful. But what truly stole our hearts was the homemade baklava, lovingly prepared by the mother of the young man who served us (as he proudly told us).
Larger than the ones typically served in Turkey, this baklava had layers filled generously with finely ground walnuts, just the right amount of sugar, and a heavenly aroma of real butter. Light, fresh, and perfectly balanced — it was simply divine.
Then came the moment that made me unexpectedly emotional: I asked, almost out of habit, “Do you have tea?” and the answer was a cheerful “Yes!” — what joy!
Though it was a tea bag, it was served in a large cup with a slice of lemon and a little jar of honey. The kindness and care in that small gesture put a huge, warm smile on my face. It felt like a sweet sip of home, even if it had a hint of carob in the mix.
