Montenegro Food Guide: Where to Eat Like a Boss 🇲🇪🍴
A. Kotor Cuisine 1️⃣ Bastion 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Inside Kotor Old Town) Why go? HUGE portions, budget-friendly (~€15/person), and meat heaven! Must-try: Meat Platter (juicy AF) + Spaghetti Bolognese (so rich we licked the plate). Pro tip: Two girls + three dishes = leftovers for days. 😂 2️⃣ Restoran Cesarica ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Also in Kotor Old Town) Seafood focus, but underwhelming. Skip the bland seafood platter and salty paella. Silver lining: Pretty decor for photos! 📸 3️⃣ Moritz Gelato ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Multiple locations in Kotor & Budva) Solid gelato – pistachio and strawberry flavors hit the spot. Not mind-blowing, but reliable! B. Budva Bangers (Every spot slaps!) 🥹 1️⃣ Mercur ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tied with Bastion 3 for BEST MEAL! Meat Stew: Pork, lamb, sauerkraut, potatoes – tastes like a Balkan grandma’s hug. Lamb Chops: Slightly overdone but still flavor-packed. Zero gamey taste – Chinese-friendly meat magic! 2️⃣ Garden Cafe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Near Budva Old Town) Chicken Platter & Pasta: Simple but satisfying. €23 for two mains + drinks = steal! Bonus: A resident cat 🐈 who’ll eye your chicken (cute but bold – guard your plate!). 3️⃣ Good Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Budva city center, near Garden Cafe) UNEXPECTED GEM! This bakery’s savory meat pastry (€0.40!!) is a black pepper-spiked revelation. We bought bags to hoard – tastes like home, beats any UK “pasty”. Tips Language: All staff speak English – just show food pics if stuck! Portions: Montenegrin servings are GIANT – share unless you’re training for a food coma. Prices: Way cheaper than Western Europe #MontenegroFood #KotorEats #BudvaBites #BalkanFeast #MeatLoversParadise #TravelEats
