4 ways to spend an unforgettable evening
Pick Your Table. We’ll Handle the Rest.
Every experience below seats 2 to 10 guests, includes a full meal, and is hosted personally — by Milena, Francesco, or the local family behind our Hidden Gem evenings — no big-bus tours, no rotating staff, no rushing you through a menu.
Hidden Gem Cooking Class – Wine & Dine
You cook a real Montenegrin meal with your own hands, guided by the local family who’s been making it for generations — not just watching someone else do it. Then it’s a walk to a viewpoint most visitors never find, and a seat at the table to enjoy everything you made, with optional local pairings for adults and alcohol-free alternatives.
4–5 hours · 2–10 guests
€85 per person
Vineyard to Table Experience
Start with a tasting at a small family-run vineyard most guidebooks don’t mention, and hear the story behind the bottle straight from the people who make it. Then Francesco walks you through making handmade gnocchi from scratch, before a scenic viewpoint and a relaxed shared meal together.
Small groups · 2–10 guests
€99 per person
Non-alcoholic tasting alternatives available
Italian Chef’s Table
Francesco cooks a multi-course menu the way it’s done at home in Italy — off-menu, unhurried, and explained course by course as it reaches your table. This isn’t a restaurant seating. It’s dinner with a chef who actually wants you there.
Private and small-group dining
From €80 per person
Private Chef Experience
Skip the reservation, the taxi and the other diners. Francesco cooks a restaurant-quality dinner in your own villa kitchen in Herceg Novi and the surrounding area — built around what you actually want to eat.
Sample menus and custom options
From €90 per person · Minimum €540
For the days you’d rather make something than see something
Slow Down. Make Something. Eat Well.
No experience needed for any of these — just a willingness to switch your phone off for a few hours.
Clay & Dine Experience
Shape your own piece of pottery with your hands, then sit down to a meal you actually earned. You’ll leave with something you made — and a better story than a fridge magnet.

Paint & Dine Experience
You don’t need to be able to paint. You just need to sit down, pick up a brush, and let the view do most of the work — then eat well while your canvas dries.

Yoga & Dine Experience
An outdoor yoga session as the sun drops behind the mountains, followed by a proper meal and good company — the kind of evening you’re still thinking about back home.

Why Guests Choose Dobar Dan Over a Big Tour Group
Every one of these is a decision we made on purpose — not something we’re doing because it’s cheaper.
Not a Franchise
You’re hosted by Milena, Francesco, or the local family behind our Hidden Gem evenings — never a rotating shift of guides who’ve never met you before.
Never More Than 10
Small enough that you’ll actually talk to everyone at the table — including us.
Off the Tourist Route
Locations most visitors to Herceg Novi never find, let alone eat in.
Homemade, Always
Nothing from a supplier catalogue. If it’s on the table, one of us made it.

The people behind the table
Welcome to Our Table
Dobar Dan Experiences is run by two people, not a company: Milena, born and raised near Herceg Novi, and Francesco, an Italian chef who cooks the way his own family taught him. Between them, more than 20 years in tourism and hospitality — and no interest in doing it the generic way.
Every guest who sits at our table gets the same thing: our full attention, real food, and an evening that actually feels like Montenegro.
Our Hidden Gem Cooking evenings are hosted in partnership with a local family we handpicked ourselves — because some Montenegrin recipes are best taught by the people who grew up cooking them.
