“Luce” Podgorica - Cafe&Restaurant — Restaurant in Podgorica

I was disappointed by the visit :(

First of all in the main space once you enter, the one that is beautifully decorated and has comfortable sitting places, was a strange smell - like of the room that is not in use. No smell on terrace, but it is not that nice. I was extremely hungry, so decided to stay.

As for food - the beet salad was nice, but a bit over-salted. Still I enjoyed it. Avocado toast missed the egg (it is ordered as a separate addition and maybe the waiter misheard me, or misunderstood. But the order I made wasn’t repeated to me, so we never know). The avocado on the bread was cut into small-small pieces and the amount of it was not enough to balance the thickness of the bread, however both were pretty decent.

Mainly because of the smell I am reducing the rate to 3, otherwise it would be 4. Still, the place didn’t charm me so I won’t...

If you’re looking for a quiet place with nice music and delicious food to have breakfast, this is it. It’s located not far from the Most Gazela, so I’d highly recommend to go there. We ordered Luce breakfast and Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon - very tasty and we were already full with it. For drinks we had homemade ice tea with raspberry and ‘Morning’ fresh juice mix from apple, orange and carrot - super delicious and energizing. Since I like sweets, we also ordered a desert - chocolate brownie with ice cream and berries and some tea, all really good, not fat and not too sweet, just perfect. It all cost us 26€ in total, we went out full and happy ☺️ The waiter and bartender were very friendly and polite. We had to change our sits from terrace to the inside since some new visitors decided to smoke, and there was no problem with that it was...

Classic for Montenegro, nobody gives a shit. There were 3 tables occupied. Waiting time is 45 minutes. 1 person works in the kitchen. Claims are not to the staff, but to the owner of the establishment, who of course thought that it is possible to work like this, but not like that. I will explain based on the facts:

The doors in the toilets are screwed with the lock the other way around (that is, another person can lock you from the outside, and you, being inside, cannot close). You are obliged to fix this.

You need to choose tasty tomatoes. You cannot serve tasteless food, calling it tasty, just because you thought so.

You cannot run an establishment with 50 seats with one person in the kitchen. You want to save money, in Montenegrin style. It turns out badly. Change or close and sell the business to someone who knows...
