Jadran

Good restaurant right by the water with great views. The food on this entire boardwalk is pretty mid but at least it's all clean ingredients and healthy. It is pricey but that's a given due to the location. Our waiter was great and funny, and deboned the fish which was very nice.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Jadran, perfectly located right by the beach with absolutely stunning sea views. The atmosphere is relaxed, and you can enjoy your meal while watching the waves and soaking in the beautiful surroundings. The highlight of this place is definitely their seafood — everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. From the grilled fish to the seafood platter, each dish truly showcased the quality and taste of the Adriatic. The staff was friendly, attentive, and happy to make recommendations. If you’re looking for a spot to enjoy delicious seafood with a breathtaking view, Jadran is definitely worth visiting.

Overall, a good experience! I really appreciated the fast service and the strong sense of national and traditional atmosphere in the restaurant. The food came out very quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. We had to wait in line to be seated, but that’s understandable considering how full the place was. The food itself was okay—not exceptional, but definitely worth the visit if you want to enjoy the local, traditional Montenegrin vibe. I’d recommend it for the experience!

Jadran in Budva is known as the best seafood restaurant in the city, but it definitely doesn’t live up to that reputation anymore. We had a risotto with barely any seafood, and the mussels weren’t properly cooked. Nothing tasted particularly good. While it may have been good once, it’s no longer worth it. The service is good though.

The food was so yummy. The fish was very fresh and lightly seasoned. The fries were fried well and delicious. Would totally recommend. Great sea view too. I got the seafood platter for two people. Me and my friend couldn’t even finish the food. It was a lot. Great value for money. The platter cost about €60. We split the bill, making it €30 each.

The only reason I would return to Budva is to eat here again. We first came upon this restaurant while walking along the water and loved the deck seating right over the water. Then we discovered the food was crazy good and crazy cheap, to where we went back 3 times in the week we were in Budva. On subsequent visits we discovered this place is HUGE! In addition to the outdoor waterfront seating, they have a super formal restaurant across the street, that looked like it had been setup for a wedding. Then behind that was another more casual indoor venue and yet another outdoor venue that faced the street running behind the restaurant. A must see if in Budva and get there before 6pm, so you can order the goulash.

This is supposed to be the best seafood restaurant in town. However, it didn't live up to the standard. Here are my reasons: The food (mussels and shrimp) was really good but it wasn't amazing, as people make it out to be. Also, it only came with two shrimps in a big bowl (see the photo) - I was expecting it to be a balanced mix. The service is what really lets me down the most. Normally, I stay chill about these things, but I can't shake the feeling that one of the waiters might be a colourist. When I waited in the front, this waiter (I didn't get his name) instructed me to sit down at a table without a tablecloth (on the pier part), I noticed other tables were in the same situation. However, two guests arrived after me and were seated at tables right next to mine, and the waiter immediately put tablecloths on their tables. It took me about 15 minutes of waiting before I finally asked for a tablecloth myself, and the waiter only reacted then, almost as if I was forcing him to do it, which is not a good feeling for your customers to have. It started to get windy, and I noticed dark rain clouds gathering, so I decided to head into the restaurant. Once inside, I was greeted and served by a fantastic waiter named Bojan Nikovic, who truly knew how to deliver excellent service with professionalism. His attentiveness made my dining experience much much better, and to be fair, he deserves a pay-raise! Because of his standout service, I rated the restaurant service two stars; otherwise, my rating would have been one star or even zero, if that were an option. The entertainment was also really good with the live guitarist performance and played trendy music!

Located on the seaside harbour walk adjacent to the old town, you can eat 1 meter from the shore. We enjoyed several fish dishes including local typical mussels and fish soup. Nice breeze, we were lucky to find a table, good move to book in advance.
