4 Best Restaurants in Montenegro

Widely regarded as one of the best restaurants on the coast, Hotel Conte's gastronomic offerings prove the benefits of culinary education and growth. The chefs have spent time at some of the finest restaurants in Europe, honing their craft and embracing new culinary trends in real time, leading directly to the food on your plate. The terrace is gorgeous, and the four-course set menu is a bastion of excellence.

Believed to be the oldest restaurant in Kotor, this rustic eatery is one of the best places in town for lobster, mussels, and fresh fish, such as barbecued zubatac (dentex) drizzled with olive oil and served with a wedge of lemon. The candlelit dining room has exposed stone walls, a wood-beam ceiling hung with fishing equipment, and a big open fireplace. In summer, extra tables are set outside on the piazza.

This sophisticated restaurant occupies an old stone building with a glass-and-steel winter terrace extension, serving creative twists on local food. Expect funky modern furniture and chill-out music accompanying a hip and tasty menu. It's a five-minute walk along the coast from the Old Town. 

This spot makes a great case as Kotor's most romantic restaurant. Settled in another of the city's hidden squares, Pržun straddles the fine line between private and popular, serving excellent seafood in a professional manner. One bonus is the availability of Fabrika Craft Beer, brewed down the road in Risan.
