In Kotor, you can try out the traditional national Montenegrin cuisine, as well as many other modern specialties. There almost isn’t a restaurant, a smaller open terrace, hotel terrace or Kotor fiesta, on which Kotor specialties are not served. We are suggesting that when you visit Kotor, you try the domestic fish thick soup (it is usually prepared from the cooked fish trout). That is actually one type of fish soup, with bigger pieces of fish, with rice and various additives that give the meal a dark red color and a sharp scent which lurks you very much to try that meal, even if you are not a great fish fun.
