Montenegro, Budva: restaurants worth visiting. Photos and reviews

If we talk about rest by the sea, it is worth noting that everyone dreams of different islands and distant overseas countries, where you can feed from the hands of monkeys and climb to the heavenly shrine. But often the paradise is much closer, and it is much cheaper than imaginable.

Each resort town is a small cozy village on the beach, where the aborigines entertain tourists, embellishing their lives. Do not feel like other people's restaurants in Budva (Montenegro), because there are many Russian-speaking tourists. All establishments offer menus in Russian, and the charm and cosiness of a small town with narrow streets will give a feeling of abstraction from the worldly vanity.

All inclusive or not?

Over the past five to ten years, the all inclusive option was popularized by inexpensive trips to Egypt and Turkey. They are offered absolutely in all travel agencies. But a truly unique trip is possible only if the tourist chooses what he would like to see.

What does Budva offer you? Restaurants, the sea, music and just a chic atmosphere - but this is not all that the city will please. "The cult of food" will allow any tourist to find a dish to his taste. Even the local cuisine of each restaurant is differently prepared, and the chefs have their secret recipe, even for the most ordinary shopaholic salad. Therefore, to choose all inclusive or impromptu - the solution behind the traveler.

How much is?

Prices for any kitchen increase in proportion to proximity to the beach. And what will cost 25 euros in the city, on the shore will cost about 50. The gastronomic quality, taste, color and size of portions may be different. Those who have heard about the giant portions offered by restaurants in Budva, the menu should be read more carefully, because there are classic portions, especially in European and Asian cuisines. However, all the dishes are very hearty, so you definitely will not be hungry!

Budva, whose restaurants have an average check for one person of about 15 euros (regardless of the preferred type of cuisine), every year becomes more popular. The cost should be taken into account when planning a daily budget for recreation. This is very important, is not it?

What to eat?

Along the embankment there are two streets, completely built up by the public catering for every taste and color, as they say. There is a place for a lover of meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, dairy products, desserts and exotic drinks.

As for local cuisine, all the second dishes come with garnish (this is potatoes prepared in different ways, or rice). Montenegrins are "meat people". Despite the proximity to the sea, they do not like to eat fish, so it is not served as often on the table as meat. Although, according to the reviews, restaurants in Budva give the opportunity to enjoy the taste of freshly caught and fried fish.

Is there a McDonald's in Budva?

They have tried to catch fast food many times, but all went bankrupt and closed. If the tourist wants to "McChicken", then he will not get it in his usual form. The city of Budva, whose restaurants offer healthy fresh food, instead of the usual burger gives a more interesting and useful fast food, satisfying hunger for the whole day.

The best place of this kind, according to visitors, is "Skolijera" (Skolijera). It is located on the shore, the prices are low, but works around the clock. As the reviews say, the workers of the institution always meet with a smile and hold customers.

"Big Mac"? No! Giros is a local bread cake with fillers. Anyone can afford this food, but what to put there, the guest himself decides. All that is on the window - choose, well, and what is not - just ask.

In addition to the "Schoolgirls", both in Budva and throughout Montenegro, you can find meat shops (Mesara), where the purchased piece of meat will be grilled for free. The prepared dish can be eaten in its own room in a completely tranquil setting. This is a very budget option, because it will cost even less than ordinary gyros.

Cheap, but not angry

No matter what the average price of a check of an establishment, you will still be served with a smile and patience. Budget Budva, cheap restaurants - it's definitely Parma and Kuzhina (Parma and Kuzina). Tightly eat meat and fish with French fries or a black risotto here get only 5-10 euros per person. And it's only 5 minutes walk from the sea!

"Kangaroo" (Kangaroo) - a unique institution, where besides the pleasant food and heart-warming prices there are a number of soft drinks and free Wi-Fi. Recently on the second floor an open terrace was built, where you can spend your time, surf the Internet and enjoy frappe or glasse for a couple of euros.

And where to drink, but not drink?

To search for a long time it is not necessary, after all for many years tourists have chosen some cafes and bars of Budva. In the first place "Casper" (Casper). Perfection of drinks in this bar has no limit, as there is no limit to music and a good mood.

It attracts tourists Budva, cafes and restaurants, bars and hotels which are simple, but thought out. Therefore, any pub ("Casper" including) will not have a kitchen, except for primitive snacks for drinks. It is logical that after visiting the bar it is desirable to stock up with the address of a 24-hour restaurant where you can eat well.

All visitors to the "Republic of Casper" (this is the full name) adore her for her special atmosphere. All local creative people and foreigners gather here. "Casper" - the center of all kinds of jazz festivals. The history of the bar is long, and the territory is wide and roomy. In addition, in 2016, "Republic" "swallowed" the neighboring premises. Now there will be a place not only for old regulars, but for new visitors.

An example of drinks that can not be tried anywhere except Montenegro will be raspberry or kaftovoe beer, and among the wines - "Malvasia". Local strong drink - rakia. The fortress of Rakiia is about 40%, but it is much softer than vodka. Rakia is plum, quince and grape.

In addition to the "Republic of Casper" (by the way, the cat was the name of the hosts), Pivnica is very popular, where the reviews recommend trying local beer. Moreover, there is a brewery in Budva.

And what about the luxury class?

If you are drawn to luxury and a "jeweler" view of the sea, then there is such a place as "El Ray" (El Ray). There are always a lot of visitors here. This is a cafe-restaurant, but it is visited mainly in order to drink coffee and see the beautiful sea view from the panoramic window.

To see the sunset in comfort - that's what is most precious, it is for this sake that it is worth overpaying three times for coffee. But such pleasure is subject only to those who are behind the wheel, because the facility is located far from the center on the highway passing through all the Balkans.

All the best Budva restaurants are located along the coastline. Among them there are relatively inexpensive places, but everything is mainly focused on the tourist, which means that both prices and conditions are binding, as they say.

As one of the luxury establishments, the reviews mark the Divino wine bar, where you can drink a wide range of wine from all over Europe at a very democratic price. Of course, the menu has a rakia and several types of beer. But wine comes first.

The kitchen to the wines, as always, is very modest in quantity, but immodest in nature: olives, several kinds of cheese and so on. Here you can drink coffee, swim and imagine yourself a rich man in a beautiful cozy atmosphere.

And what about the children?

Among all this endless string of gastronomy and drinks, it may seem that the children in Budva have nothing to do. Everything is exactly the opposite. In 2016 the water park was opened directly in the city, and only children can visit it, because the terminal for adults is not yet finished. The next season promises to be even more fun, because what kind of adult does not dream of feeling like a child on vacation?

Near the bus station is the zoo. And such a park is loved by people of all ages in any city, regardless of whether you can pet an animal and feed it or not. In this zoo there are cafes, paths, a small lake, as well as igreland with humane prices, thanks to which parents can rest, while the baby jumps. Each year the zoo is replenished with new animals, and in 2016 a deer was born here.

Food, drinks and food again. All?

Yes, Montenegro is a country of adoring food, and not any, namely national. But this is not all that can be investigated if you are in a city like Budva. Restaurants - it's not all the sights.

It is worth remembering that this city is more than 2500 years old. There are many ancient walls in it that can tell the stories of the past millennia. The whole city can be traversed from one side to another in half an hour, and proceed along and across one day. The ancient walls of the Citadel, a panorama terrace, a national restaurant, museums of architecture - all this in a large number will be at every turn, behind every turn.

If until 2010 Montenegro did not seem interesting for the bulk of travelers, then with the passage of time everything changed. So, the Balkans became a find for the traveler.

Monotonous cuisine throughout Europe and America is no longer surprising. Restaurants Budva reviews from visitors are mostly enthusiastic, because the kitchen really does not resemble anything, although meat predominates in most cuisines around the world. Extraordinary seasonings and cooking methods (on coals, grills, etc.) - all give an unusual taste and desire to try again.

Learn new, swim in the sea, get acquainted with the new culture and people - this is a fantastic holiday. The choice is only for the guest!
