Rooftop Terrace Hippocampus — Restaurant in Kotor

Doublecheck your check - they overcharge. Would not come back to this place, unfortunately.

The wait staff was quite rude, seemed to be tired of serving guests and lacked knowledge of the menu.

We ordered a quinoa salad with chicken and (!) a lemon vinaigrette dressing for brunch and it came with lots of iceberg lettuce, just a tea spoon of the actual quinoa and absolutely no dressing. We asked the waiter to bring us some lemons/olive oil/vinegar so we could dress the salad and the server told us it was supposed to come without a dressing (seems like the staff doesn’t know the menu). We did get olive oil and vinegar though so we dressed the salad ourselves.

Lastly - we got scammed in our check. I ordered a mushroom risotto which was €16 on the menu and the final check charged €20 for this dish. After we asked for a menu back to doublecheck and addressed this, the waiter did give us €4 back, but it left a very unpleasant aftertaste.

The only reason I’m leaving this place 2 stars instead of 1 is the view. You can’t get such views in many places in Kotor and it’s an okay place to grab some water and...

Overall the experience was OK. We went for dinner around 8.30pm on a Tuesday evening.

The first thing we noticed was that it was very dark, there wasn't much lighting. A table lamp was brought over eventually.

We ordered drinks. They didn't have several of the wines I asked for, had to settle for the 4th option given. My partners beer was never brought, so we had to chase it up.

The calamari portion was a decent size but could tell it wasn't fresh. Gnocchi and pork mains were nice, especially the pork dish was delicious.

Our meal was unfortunately ruined by a huge amount of flying ants on our table, on our glasses, on our plates, one even got into a drink. At one point we had 10+ on the table. We didn't experience anything like this at any other restaurant in Kotor that we visited. A candle was brought over to replace the light, although didn't deter the ants more attracted them.

The servers were nice but not overly friendly.

The price of the food was reasonable, but the drinks prices were elevated comparable to all other places we visited in Kotor.

We wouldn't...

AVOID!

We can hear on our first night and had a nice dinner. Service was great, food took a bit of time, portions were small.

We returned the second night because we wanted to see the sunset.

When we arrived our table wasn’t set. We had to wait for it to be set. We then were seated. Next to my seat were chords and a dirty old projector sitting out. Blocking my view of the sunset.

We weren’t asked if we wanted water. We thought we’d see how long it took. We weren’t asked at all throughout our whole meal.

We weren’t asked if wanted bread.

My partner ordered a glass of wine and was delivered hot wine.

We ordered the calamari to start, which is nice.

Then the octopus and the steak. We were told the wrong piece of cut steak. We also asked for it to be medium-rare and it came out well-done. The meal was so disgusting that my partner couldn’t eat it.

We ended up complaining to the hotel manager who honestly did not seem to care.

My octopus was 29 euro and I had two slices.

THIS IS THE MOST OVER RATED...
