Special Outdoor Cooking Experiences
Cook, Feast & Connect Under the Open Sky
Step into an authentic mountain dining experience, where slow-cooked feasts, open-fire cooking, and hands-on food preparation bring people together. At Katun Reljina, we don’t just serve meals—we invite you to be part of the process, embracing the traditional art of outdoor cooking. Whether it’s preparing a succulent lamb/veal under the sac, grilling over open flames, or crafting rustic bushcraft meals, every bite tells the story of Montenegro’s rich culinary heritage.
Slow-Cooked Feasts: Veal & Lamb Under the Sac
Discover the age-old Montenegrin tradition of peka-style cooking, where veal or lamb is slow-roasted under the sac (a metal dome covered in embers), locking in flavors and creating an incredibly tender, juicy dish. What makes this experience unique? You’ll get to actively participate in the preparation, from seasoning the meat to arranging farm-fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs before the slow-cooking process begins.
