Located right by the Adriatic Sea, Jadran Kod Krsta is one of Budva’s most iconic and long-standing restaurants. With over 40 years of history, this family-run place is beloved for its authentic coastal cuisine, warm service, and breathtaking marina views. It’s where tradition meets atmosphere — and it never goes out of style.

Food & Setting

The restaurant stretches along the promenade near the Old Town, with plenty of seating both indoors and on a large open-air terrace facing the water. The vibe is relaxed but elegant, with white tablecloths, fresh flowers, and the sounds of the sea just steps away.

The menu celebrates Montenegrin and Mediterranean flavors:

• Grilled sea bass, calamari, octopus, and mussels
• Famous seafood risottos and black cuttlefish risotto
• Lamb chops, veal, and Balkan-style grilled meats
• Homemade bread, local cheese, and olive oil
• Traditional desserts and Montenegrin wines

Every dish is made with care and often based on family recipes passed down through generations.

Service & Experience

The staff is professional, fast, and multilingual — many speak English, Russian, and local languages. Even when the restaurant is full (which is often), the team keeps things running smoothly. It’s a popular spot for both locals and tourists, and the friendly, experienced service makes everyone feel welcome.

Perfect for a romantic dinner, family lunch, or special occasion by the sea.

A Guest’s Note

As Frédéric NOEL once said:

“Jadran is a Budva essential. The kind of place where every bite tastes like a memory, and every visit feels like coming home.”
