LA CITRONNELLE
Read moreAn integral part of the Pontenegrin landscape, La Citronnelle is an unmissable meeting place - usually for business - and a good haunt for newcomers to the city. Above all, it's a very good bakery-pastry shop, with a wide choice of viennoiseries and cakes. The establishment also serves fast food for savory cravings. Its terrace on the avenue allows you to observe the hustle and bustle of the street, even if the general hubbub doesn't facilitate conversation: in this case, prefer the inside and its large air-conditioned room.
CHOCO OUAK LA CHOCOLATERIE DU CONGO
