Perla Pop Lounge & Restaurant (Mediteranska bb, 85310 Budva) – this restaurant is further inland from Perla’s harbor area, and serves a variety of local and international dishes. However, it is better known for the live entertainment that it typically makes available for its (mostly local) patrons.
Mantra (Ivana Milutinovica, 21, Podgorica) — this is reputedly the only restaurant not just in Podgorica, but anywhere in Montenegro. That seems to be sufficient reason for international visitors to come here – more diversity in local dining options. Indian dishes such as Chicken Masala, Dal Makhni, and Malai Kofta are served here.
Hong Kong (Vuka Karadžića 1, Stari Grad, Budva) – located in Budva’s historic section, complete with a terrace beneath the vines and overlooked by the city walls, this Chinese restaurant (launched by Hong Kong immigrants back in 1991), is a good place for hungry tourists to try the stir-fries, noodles and other authentic Chinese delicacies.
Fisherman’s Pub (Šetalište, Budva) – as the name implies, this restaurant by Budva harbor serves various seafood items, as well as pizza. Of course, many of the patrons simply come here for the ambiance typically associated with restaurants that offer views of the harbor.
