The 10 best foods to try in Kotor Municipality

Everything is perfect, the place, the atmosphere, the food is fantastic, the service is amazing, the prices are good. It's great during the day and during the night. The burgers are amazing, even made a person that doesn't eat beef eat a beef burger. 100% recommended

Falafel Buddha bowl was amazing, as a vegetarian there were lots of good options! My partner has the Taraca burger too which he enjoyed and really liked the BBQ sauce. Good location and looking out on the water. Can pay by card too.

Place is very beautiful, next to the water so nice view of ducks. Good design. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Some dishes are really good like the curry and the vegetarian pasta, but the buddha bowl for example is very expensive and not worth the price. Meals are good but a little small.

I went to this place with my family on my trip to kotor. Good location and definitely a great variety on the menu to choose from but to be honest , didn’t meet my expectations. Food definitely looked good and colorful but was quite bland at taste. Surely not for my palate. Salt was lacking in most of the things that we ordered. I came here based on google reviews but it didn’t meet the hype in my eyes. Location is good and so is the vibe of the place . Service wasn’t too bad either but the food was just okay . We ordered Buddha bowl , vegan curry , banana smoothie, soup and chicken noodles . Soup and the Chicken noodles were the best out of all that we ordered. In short , not impressed .

We were just about to start the walk up to Kotor Bay view , which we knew was going to be a good three or four hours walk up. We accidentally stumbled across this restaurant and it was the one of the best ‘restaurant finds’ that we had done on that trip . The manager, and the staff, welcomed us into their restaurant like no other restaurant in Montenegro had done up to that point. (they even allowed us to join two tables and rotate them at 90° so that all seven of us could sit around) The decoration was old Yugoslavian style, and modern, but very comfortable The hospitality was so amazingly warm and inclusive. We started our meal with a lovely tossed salad , which strangely I partnered with an ice cold Moscow Mule ( don’t ask me why), followed by a black breaded burger. Do not be put off by their name of the black bread bun, because this was the most amazingly moist, and tender burger I’ve had A truly positive experience - that by the time we had completed our Climb, we decided to come back into the Citadel city, and left the restaurant that we were eating it to come back to Taraca Lunch and dinner at the same restaurant !! it has been a very long time since I did that The price was very reasonable, but we ended up eating far too much.

One of my favorite places in the Balkans! Such a unique place. Food was super delicious, so many tasty dishes and location is great as well. Waiters were very kind and attentive. Highly recommend!

A welcome change from the endless pizza, pasta and fish with chard and potatoes on offer across Montenegro. We sat on the terrace and while there are good views of the city walls up the mountain, the primary school is first and foremost in view. DH had steak which was cooked well, and I had a falafel bowl. Food was tasty.

We were a group of 20 at the restaurant. Bojan's service was impeccable. He was super attentive and kind to our group. The food was MAGNIFICENT; the fish arrived exactly as we ordered. Everything was perfect. The place was wonderful.

Branislav was our waiter and he was amazing going above and beyond and explaining all the local foods and flavors. The calamari was hands down the best I have ever had. Absolutely amazing!

Amazing place! Service, food and atmosphere all outstanding. Son had the clam spaghetti and said it was the best meal ever. They even have beautiful vegan options! Manager Branislav was absolutely brilliant! We’ll definitely be returning. 🤌

Fantastic Meal, we had the meat and cheese platter for 2 and the seafood platter for 2 as recommended by our waiter Bojan, we tried all the delicacies of Montenegro and it was sensational. Service was excellent, friendly, polite and prompt as well as so personable. We loved it here and will certainly come back when we visit Kotor next time!

Stopped here for breakfast in old town Kotor and it did not disappoint. We tried two traditional Montenegro dishes: Montenegro pie with cheese and prosciutto & Przenice (Eggy bread with advar, feta and prosciutto). Both were very good!

We had a great experience today! A waiter nice guy Bojan has advised us a seafood platter which turned out to be the best squid and shrimps experience we have ever had! For sea lovers definitely a must visit!

Having a lovely time here eating the Montenegro Pie and Eggy bread (french toast) with prosciutto, recommended by Milan as I was having a tough time deciding what to eat. Came here because to try the stuffed calamari but it wasn’t available until breakfast is over. Service is good and ambience is nice and chill. Perfect spot to relax and have a decent meal.

A great little spot in the old town. Wait staff were very knowledgeable about the menu (I have allergies) and were very attentive when serving us. The bathrooms were lush. All the food we ate were delicious, good value and a decent size.

We ordered the cheese platter and a prosciutto platter to start, but unfortunately neither lived up to expectations, the cheese wasn’t great and the prosciutto was dry, as if it had been sitting out for a while. We then tried the oxtail gnocchi, which arrived cold and the gnocchi was chewy, so we couldn’t eat much of it. For the price, this was very disappointing. On the positive side, the waiter was excellent and the owner was very friendly when we raised our concerns. They offered to remake the dish or give us a complimentary drink, but we declined as the experience had already left us disappointed. For what we paid, the quality just wasn’t there.

We happened to drop by this place for a beer and a snack. Owner was super friendly. Beer, Niksicko, was tasty and cold. We had the cheese platter and beef prosciutto platter. Delicious! Thanks for a lovely meal!

We visit Kotor every year and came to Pržun for dinner around 7 PM—we were the first guests, but by 8 PM the place was very busy. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. We had a bottle of the house wine, which was just right for a warm summer evening. We ordered the seafood risotto and the seafood carbonara—both dishes were outstanding, fresh, and full of flavor. One of the waiters told us that the restaurant is named after the old prison located right next to it, which gives the place a nice historical touch. I honestly can't understand the few negative reviews—our experience was excellent, with great food and lovely service.

We arrived in the afternoon in Kotor and after a while went out for lunch. We hanged around and came up to this Restaurant PRŽUN. They have a 20% discount for 16^00-17^30 time and we were there at 16:00 sharp, lucky we are ) We were the only customers, so we quickly made order and waited for about 15minutes. We had octopus soup, 2 pastas, green salad and 4 drinks. Total we paid 69EUROs, with 20% discount. The soup I ordered turned out to be a cream coup as there was broth only served with crackers. Overall, it was OK. I liked the olive pasta, it was good. The service is pretty fast.

The terrace is beautiful, but the food was a huge letdown. Out pasta (4 of us ordered either spaghetti con vongole or Seafood pasta) was overcooked and tasteless and served with a raw, flavorless tomato sauce — easily the worst meal of our holiday. Such a disappointment given the lovely setting.

We had a lovely time here with a big group of friends. Fish, steak, and homemade limoncello were highlights, but the service and energy of the delightful staff were the most memorable part. Hvala!!

Absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the service is very friendly. It’s already our second time dining here, and we’re just as impressed. The menu is huge and diverse — we tried meat dishes, sushi, and seafood, and everything was truly delicious. Definitely a restaurant we’ll keep coming back to!

Tucked away up a flight of stone steps in Kotor’s Old Town, Atrium opens into a gorgeous courtyard with stone floors and walls that feel both historic and timeless. The setting is intimate and atmospheric, perfect for a mid-day break from exploring the winding streets. We ordered a bottle of Croatian wine and enjoyed what turned out to be one of the best seafood meals of our trip. My wife had mussels served in a blue cheese sauce that was so good she cleaned the bowl with bread. I had octopus with a dollop of thick ink sauce, tender, flavorful, and easily the best I’ve ever tasted. Every bite showed why Kotor is so well known for its seafood. To finish, we tried a digestif of Amaro Montenegro, a local herbal liqueur with a bitter finish that balanced the richness of the meal. A must-try if you want to experience something distinctively regional. The service was warm, the setting beautiful, and the food outstanding. What a find! Atrium is a place I strongly recommend if you’re visiting Kotor.

Really good high quality food. Beautiful romantic place and very nice service. Not much more expensive compared to other restaurants in Kotor Old town but you get much better and exquisite food. Great experience!

This was the best dining experience I’ve had in Montenegro. The place itself is so welcoming and special with the atrium that has a glass ceiling and is partly open. To find the place, you have to go up some stairs into the atrium. We loved that we were sitting away from the crowds in this secluded space. The dishes were very refined and special with high quality ingredients. The dishes all tasted quite different and were very special. The only thing I will say is that I can’t really recommend the cocktails for the price. The presentation is really nice but the Yuzu Dream Cocktail I had was just very sweet and tasted nothing like Yuzu. They have very good beer though! Lastly, the waiter was incredibly friendly and professional. We came here twice!

Beautiful restaurant in a former Franciscan monastery’s covered courtyard from 1695! We loved the tuna tartar, whole grilled sea bass, and the farmers salad. Grilled fish is often dry, but this sea bass was not at all. They did a great job of removing the bones, too. Highly recommend

I just recalled my visit to Atrium when I chatted with friends about awful dining experiences when traveling. Visited back in Oct 2024 as a couple, the 2 starters weren’t served at the same time - one came probably 10 minutes before the other. And the mains came when my wife was still having the late starter. The manager almost knocked over my wife’s drink when taking away the dishes. And after asked for the bill, a waitress came simply handing over a card machine without saying a word, probably she thought that look cool, until I told her that the bill had never been presented. Oh yea, we were forbidden to have a table at the courtyard, even most of the tables were never seated for the entire evening.

We took oven baked Camembert at the entrance which was excellent, then mussel with blue cheese that was in my opinion overcooked , with chicken schnitzel which was lacking more of the blue cheese sauce. Excellent desserts : fondant and passion fruit crème brûlée. Very good service thank you ! Overall a bit overpriced but we enjoyed

Very nice dinner by the seaside. All in all a wonderful experience. The fish soup may not be a looker but tasted great. So did the squid and prawns. Price are a bit to high but you do get great service and a view like no other.

Wow what a fabulous restaurant. If you love fish then look no further. Bojan looked after us so well with great recommendations for food and drink. The grilled Tuna was beautifully cooked and served on a delicious bed of sautéd potatoes and vegetables bursting with flavour and really different. Alex cooked my Sea Bream beautifully on the outdoor bbq right in front of us. You have to taste it to believe it and Bojan filleted it in front of us before presenting it onto my similarly flavoursome bed of sautéd veg. The house wine was perfect too. We will return a few more times this holiday. Thank you for our dining experience.

Yummy dinner with a STUNNING view? Yes please! Great food, great service and great atmosphere all round. Highly recommend - also Vaso is a legend.

We came twice because we liked it so mich! Obviously the view is amazing but so was the service! We had greek salad & beefsteak salad and both were really tasty. We didn't have veggies that had as much taste as these anywhere in Montenegro. Also great Tiramisu! 5/5 and big thanks to our lovely waiter who remembered us :)

Excellent food and service by Manager Branislav and Bojan . Brilliant location by the sea. We had sea bass, pork neck , an excellent Montenegro appetiser platter . Highly recommend the house plum Rakija. Overall a great experience

Great place with a beautiful waterfront view and a pleasant atmosphere on the promenade. The seafood is incredibly fresh — perfect spot if you’re craving a delicious seafood meal. Service by Bojan was professional and attentive. Will definitely return

Got a seabass which was reallly good. The service is outstanding and the fish gets fillet and prepared in front of you. I would recommend to eat here if you like fish. Thank you Bojan for the service!

They serve pizza slices in a very practical way. They use thin, thin dough, and the leavening is excellent. It doesn't leave a heavy feeling in your stomach; you should definitely try it. The tomato sauce is a bit too strong for my taste. But it's a great meal while wandering the streets of Old Town.

€3.50 euro for a massive slice of pizza, how can you resist? Honestly such yummy pizza, big slice to fill you up and quick and easy service. I had a ham and mushroom and my partner had pepperoni. Great place to grab food if you are on more of a budget or just want a quick hot snack.

If you find yourself wandering the charming streets of Kotor Old Town and craving authentic, delicious pizza, Pizzeria Pronto is a must-visit. The cozy atmosphere perfectly complements the historic vibe of the area, making it a great spot to relax after exploring. The pizza here is simply outstanding — thin, crispy crust with fresh, high-quality toppings that burst with flavor in every bite. Whether you’re a fan of classic Margherita or more adventurous combinations, the menu offers a solid variety to satisfy every craving. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the overall welcoming experience. Prices are very reasonable considering the prime location and quality of the food. Plus, the portions are generous enough to share or enjoy as a hearty meal. Overall, Pizzeria Pronto is a fantastic choice for a casual yet delicious meal in Kotor Old Town. I’d definitely recommend stopping by for a slice (or two)!

This trendy pizza place offers a 3.5€ slice that’s surprisingly large, but unfortunately, it lacks any real flavor. The slices are dripping with cooking oil, making it a disappointing experience.

Interesting experience in the local pizzeria. The pizza is OK, I can’t say WOW, but it is well made and everything fresh and big portion. I was reading a lot negative reviews about ketchup on the table - yes, it is there, but no one force you to use it. I saw how local guys were eating, they fully covered the pizza by ketchup. Very friendly staff.

Tasty pizza for a fair price of €3.5 for slice. Slices are quite large

3.5€ for a big slice that’s more than enough for one person. Delicious. Only thing to improve is variety - they have just 3 types of pizza: margarita, pepperoni and with pork. No green olives- which is international. Also no seatings.

It could have been one of the best steaks in my life. The owner of the hostel recommended this place. Premium dry aged 45 days is recommended as the best. €9.9 / 100g, the smallest cut is 550g, costing €54.45, over the sky price. But it's good enough for 2 persons. I ate half & pack half for dinner. I asked for rare, & it’s perfect, no more no less. The texture is perfect, even the tendon & fat part. It’s already cold by the end, but the meat is still so good.

An outstanding restaurant with great atmosphere and a great variety of foods. We had burgers including the pulled pork and the gourmet burgers. Both were excellent but the gourmet had so much flavor and taste, it was a dream! The pulled pork came with onion jam and coleslaw in the brioche bun. We also had the beef soup which was also delicious and outstanding! Finally the salad was sldo really good and even though it was a bit expensive, their quality was just do obvious!! We highly recommend this place and will return to try their steaks!!

Dry aged T-bone steak was very delicious but we ordered medium and got medium rare to rare, but the steak itself had amazing flavor, Caeser salad was tasty. Service was very good the waiter was nice and spoke good english, atmosphere was cozy nothing special.

Han was such a welcoming waiter and really made our experience great. He gave us excellent recommendations for the wine (which turned out to be spot on) and it was a pleasure chatting with him about the menu, wine list, and even a bit about the city’s culture and food. The food itself was very tasty and good value for the price. Having such a friendly and knowledgeable waiter definitely made the meal even better. Would recommend!

The food was phenomenal, and the waiter was exactly as a waiter should be – polite, witty, and attentive. On his recommendation, we ordered the premium dry-aged ribeye steak, aged for over 45 days, served with potatoes and grilled vegetables. A small remark: the menu listed the potatoes as “aromatized potatoes,” but in reality, they were just potato slices fried like French fries. This could be improved by preparing boiled potatoes and then finishing them in butter with herbs, for example. For starters, we had roasted bone marrow served with spicy butter – and that combination is to die for! We also ordered beef tartare, which was undoubtedly the best I’ve ever tried in my life. The price fully matches the standard of service and the quality of the food. With drinks, it came to around €70 per person for a starter and main course. Photos attached.

I had an excellent dining experience at Marenda in Kotor. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The grilled dishes and sides were perfectly prepared, and the portion sizes were just right. The staff was very welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything was enjoyable. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. I would highly recommend Marenda to anyone visiting Kotor.

As you can see, our plates are empty — hunger conquered, thirst satisfied. But Marenda Steak House is far more than just a restaurant. The décor is inviting, the music playlist perfectly chosen, and the meats… absolutely divine. Beautiful plating, attentive staff, great drinks — everything is superb, and all at a surprisingly affordable price.

I really liked this restaurant - so much that I went twice! The food was yummy, the drinks were gigantic and great, and the best thing was the service. Our waitress both times was kind, welcoming and professional. She had good recommendations and spot-on suggestions. She remembered us from our first time sitting there and made us feel like total queens. Highly recommended!

We went there twice, once for dinner and once for breakfast. The food is mostly delicious but the portions are rather small, especially considering the price (hence the 4 stars). The staff is very friendly! There was also live music in the evening. For breakfast I had oatmeal with fruits, but "the fruits" were 3 small pieces of orange, that's it. So here I also see room for improvement, again, considering the price.

This place is a true gem of Old Kotor. Olive is a spectacular hostess. The chef paid so much attention to detail. The food was out of this world - so good! A real Michelin star experience.

Most delicious pasta I had in a 2 week trip that included several stops in Italy (sorry, Italy!) also an amazing Greek salad. A great lunch in a lovely location, good service as well.

Really enjoyed this place for lunch. Great waiter. The food and draft beer was really good. And it was kind of tucked away from the crowds. I had the sea bass and fish soup.

In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Kotor. We ordered meat, which was really good, and the dessert was great as well. The staff is super friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We went there for lunch twice and would definitely go again—high-quality food all around!

The best food I’ve eaten this ten-day trip! A restaurant with the most delicious food; impeccable service, great ambience in the old town Kotor. Very friendly server Mario. Desserts were delicious too

For the flavors I have chosen nougat with coffee and Marshall s special, the taste is mediocre. But other flavors were much better such as pistachio, strawberry, passion fruit, and tiramisu. Expect to wait for 10 mins or so in the queue. But staff are very friendly and speak different language

One of our all-time favourite ice cream spots. Since we discovered it a few years ago, we keep coming back each time we visit Kotor. Superb quality and selection of flavors that are all lovely and really tough to choose from.

Best Ice Cream in town... don't get lured by the ice cream stands all around in the old town... keep your eyes peeled for this gem! Pink Pomegrenade, Violet Ice, Dark Chocolate Orange, White Chocolate Pistachio... only superb flavours, plus it's cheaper

Best gelato in Kotor! Made from fresh ingredients without preservatives, so the flavors rotate regularly. Recommend any flavors with hazelnut, pistachio, or coconut.

We stopped by Marshall’s Gelato for a quick scoop of gelato. We tried the chocolate, tiramisu, raspberry, and salted hazelnut. We loved it here and came back for a second time because we liked it that much!

Really amazing taste ! We took 6 different flavours. Every ice cream was really really good. Gold medal to the vegan dark chocolate, it was amazing :-) and silver medal to the salted pistachio! We will come back for sure

Worth the hype! We went twice during our stay and every flavors we tried were dreamy. By far one of the best ice cream we’ve had, not too sweet and full of flavors 😋🍦

Really nice staff. Took them a while to bring over the card machine after asking but was good food. The waitress was able to recommend which bagel she preferred, and it was very good! Definitely worth a visit. However, some outdoor seating you may be in direct constant sunlight

Cute cafe in a side street next to the church square. Prices were moderately high as in most places in town. But we all enjoyed the food we had. We had to sit inside as the tables outside were full and as it's quite small it felt very cramped and dark so make sure to get a seat outside for a nicer ambience.

Mon Bistro is such a cute café with a cozy vibe! The morning service was excellent—friendly, quick, and welcoming. A great spot to start the day. Thank you!

Amazing and cozy small yet beautiful café… great service great drinks, incredible music tucked in in the heart of the city of Kotor. A must when you’re walking around the city… to catch your breath enjoy a delicious latte before you keep exploring this incredible country 🇲🇪

I just had a simple chocolate donut and a cappuccino. Both were excellent! The seating area in the middle of Old Town is such a delightful experience. Highly recommended!

I didn’t expect such high-quality food—it really surprised me, specially the croissant. The staff were also very kind and attentive.

Best raspberry croissant I've ever had. Cute sitting and great coffee. The savory croissants can use some dressing or mayonnaise.
