Podgorica Bakeries
Where to Buy Bread and Burek in Podgorica
Bakeries in Podgorica open early and the burek counter is the heart of each one. Burek with cheese, meat, spinach or potato is sold by weight, a quarter running one to two euros, alongside pita in coils, bread by the loaf and the morning run of kifle, simit and đevrek. The larger pekare bake through the day and keep a shorter Sunday service.
The centre and the residential blocks carry the densest concentration, with kafe-pekare pairing a coffee with the counter for a quick sit-down. Poslastičarnice at the sweeter end handle baklava, tulumbe, krofne and cream cakes at a euro or two a piece. Card is common in the larger chains; the smaller neighbourhood pekare still lean on cash.
