“ Unpretentious no-frills restaurant that delivers on quality of food. The meat is tender, juicy and delicious, and prices are very reasonable. Quantities are massive, so be careful not to order excessively and waste food. The Cevapi is the best we’ve ever had. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel welcome from the second you step in. It was so good, we had to go for a second meal! ”

“ I never leave reviews on anything but I felt compelled to write one for the BBQ food and the people of this restaurant. As a tourist in Kotor I didn’t really know what to expect the first time I tried it because I’ve had my fair share of BBQ but this place hands down has THE BEST BBQ/ FOOD I’ve had in my LIFE! We felt so welcomed and treated wonderfully by the staff here we came back 4 separate times in our 6 day vacation here. We had the Steak/ fries meal twice (our fav but hard to choice), the burgers, and the roasted chicken, we also had these Amazing Kotor cakes, and a chocolate moose like cake (I will dream about these little cakes) If you do anything in Kotor you MUST come here. ”

“ If you're ever in Montenegro and love BBQ, this is the spot you absolutely cannot miss. The experience is not just a meal—it’s a whole vibe. As soon as you arrive, you're shown a stunning display of raw meats, from juicy steaks to perfectly marbled cuts, and you get to pick exactly what you want. Then they grill it right in front of you, just the way you like it. But it doesn’t stop there. Every plate comes with an incredible spread of fresh salads and the most delicious little pastas that seriously blew us away. The atmosphere? Super relaxed and welcoming—perfect for kicking back and enjoying good food and great company. And the staff? So kind and genuinely warm. They even surprised us with a cake, just because! We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Truly one of our favorite places. 10/10 recommend! ”

“ We came to Montenegro from Budapest for a long weekend. From the airport to our apartment, it was the best idea to stop here for a lunch with my meat lover boyfriend. We ate here every day during our trip, 3 days in a row. The staff was very friendly , and we had the best meat dishes we've ever eaten! On the last day , we even got some cotor cake to take away as a goodbye gift. Thank you for everything, we will miss this place! We hope to see you soon! ”

“ We had the Large mixed meat plate and grilled vegetables. Everything was cooked perfectly, generous portions, and delicious. Friendly owner and staff. Loved the hot sauce on the side. Cabbage salads were crispy and tasty. Kotor cream cake was a great dessert. Busy place. Highly recommended! ”

“ This is hands down the best grill in the Balkans! We ordered the mixed grill and T-bone steak, and I personally preferred the mixed grill. The meat was perfectly tender, juicy, and had a wonderful smoky flavor. The veggies were super fresh and tasty. Every bite was amazing! The owner was incredibly generous and welcoming, offering us extra cakes as well as meat and bread. A must-try ”

“ I’m not sure if anyone else has experienced this in Kotor, but I often felt unwelcome when visiting shops or restaurants. It almost seemed like tourists weren’t appreciated, even when we were paying for services. But then I stumbled upon this absolute gem, and it completely changed my perspective. The staff here are incredibly kind, warm, and approachable. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel genuinely welcome, which was such a refreshing change. The food is amazing—everything is freshly grilled, the salads are prepared on the spot, and the prices are unbeatable. On top of that, they added little "extras" to the service, which made the whole experience even more special. We loved it so much we came back the next day for lunch! The team speaks several languages and goes above and beyond to make you feel at ease. Thank you for restoring my faith in Montenegrin hospitality. You’re doing an incredible job, and I hope you know how much it means to visitors like me. Keep it up! ”
