In continuation of the topic of prices in Montenegro, I want to give approximate prices for food in cafes and restaurants in the resorts of Montenegro. Firstly, I would like to note once again that mostly restaurants and cafes fully work out their money - the price-quality ratio is very good. With a little disappointment, I noticed that some cafes slightly raised prices on the menu with the start of the tourist season - however, such prices for our tourist will be quite affordable. Yesterday we came across a restaurant in the village of Prcanj (Bay of Kotor), on the very shore of the bay - TAVERNA KROKET. We were served by a very pleasant waiter named Hari, who tried his best to speak Russian to us - well, what can we do, since it is written on our foreheads that we are Russians. However, he failed to embarrass us with this, and we, like real Montenegrins, stubbornly answered in Montenegrin, as a result, Hari gave up and switched to “mother ezik” (translated from Serbian into Russian “native language”). An interesting fact: all the visitors of this restaurant at that time turned out to be our compatriots, there was also a menu in Russian. So, I managed to rewrite the following items from the menu:
Negush prosciutto 5 euros
Cheese plate €8.80
Negush cheese 5 euros
Seafood salad €7.90
Black risotto 7 euro
Spaghetti Carbonara €6.20
Ukha (or "ribley chorba") 2.50 euros
Fish, kg 1 cat. 36 euro
Fish, kg 2 cat. 30 euro
Shrimps 14 euros
Greek salad €3.20
Shopska salad €2.90
Cappuccino €1.50
Menu Notes
You must have heard about Negush prosciutto, but if not, then you know - when you come to Montenegro, you should definitely try it, the best prosciutto is made in the village of Negushi, that's why it is called that - but in fact it is smoked pork ham.
Njegusi cheese - also made in the village of Njegusi, in the mountains near Cetinje, the special mountain air contributes to good health and excellent quality of local products. Negush cheese is also a must-have in Montenegro.
Be sure to try the Montenegrin fish soup - in different restaurants it is prepared differently, but in general terms - it is made from assorted fish (of course, there is no question of canned food, everything is freshly caught), tomatoes and a lot of spices are added there, it turns out such a tomato, thick substance - a meal!
The classic way of serving fish in restaurants in Montenegro is whole grilled fish. Accordingly, the menu indicates the price per kilogram, but you pay as much as your fish will hang. The fish of the first category is larger, the fish of the second category is smaller.
Shopska salad is a local "specialty", but in fact the usual salad of cucumbers and tomatoes with onions.
Prices other than fish are per serving, I don’t know the way out, but, as a rule, in Montenegro they don’t skimp on portions. In fairness, I’ll say that this restaurant in Prcanj is the opposite - it decided to lower prices this season, and for our diligence in the Montenegrin language, we received a portion of pancakes as a gift from the establishment! A trifle, but nice 🙂 In general, the prices in this tavern were a little higher than average, but it was a real restaurant, not an ordinary cafe.
Unfortunately, this time we made a mistake and did not take a camera with us, so I am posting a photo of the restaurant from its advertising brochure:
