Montenegro Food Guide – Budva + Kotor 🍝🍕🐟

Spent 4 nights in Budva—here’s my ultimate list of 4 restaurants + 3 pizza spots (all in Budva!), ranked by preference! 🔥 TOP 4 RESTAURANTS IN BUDVA 1️⃣ Fish Grill 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 📍 Br.2 Mainski put, Budva 85310 The BEST meal I’ve had in Montenegro! How it works: Pick fresh seafood at the counter (priced per 100g, min 200g). Pay, then wait for it to be grilled. Takeout or outdoor seating. Must-try: Grilled fish with garlic sauce (game-changer!). Tips: Takes time (freshly cooked), but worth the wait! Owner is super friendly and speaks basic English. Eat it hot—divine smoky flavor! 2️⃣ L&M 🌟🌟🌟🌟 📍 10 13. Jula, Budva Language hack: Menu in 5 languages—check Google Maps pics to pre-order. Order: Fish soup + grilled baby squid (€31.7 for two). 3️⃣ Garden Cafe 🌟🌟🌟 📍 23 XVI St, Budva 85310 Vibes: Bustling, large outdoor space. Try: Montenegrin craft beer + black risotto. Downsides: Slow service (40-min wait for food). Dishes use imitation crab meat (surprise!). 💰 €22.2 for 2 mains + 1 beer. 4️⃣ Coco Bar, Food & Sea ❌ Skip it! Overpriced (€20 for a basic pizza + water). Tiny tables, cramped seating. 🍕 PIZZA SPOTS 1️⃣ Pizzeria Pronto Kotor Crispy, cheap, and filling. 2️⃣ Primo Pizza Kotor Reliable slices with generous toppings. 3️⃣ Pizza Smiley Budva 📍 21 Mainski put, Budva Local favorite for greasy, satisfying slices. Final Tips: Most menus are in English. Seafood is king here—stick to grilled fish and squid!
