Montenegro breakfast prices and menu surprises draw tourist commentary

Polish visitor Monika described her experience with breakfast on Montenegro’s Adriatic coast. Typical local offerings include a hearty burek filled with cheese, spinach or minced meat, served with thick yoghurt, as well as sliced pršut and fried dough pastries (priganice). A standard set – eggs, meat or bacon, tomatoes, coffee, juice and bread – costs just over €11 per person, while a German‑style breakfast is about €10. Monika noted several service quirks: a dish that appeared as a three‑egg shakshuka arrived with only two eggs and no meat, prompting the staff to bring a separate plate of five sausage slices labeled “missing egg.” She also reported that smoking was common on the terraces despite any formal ban, and that orders sometimes resulted in mismatched drinks. These observations highlight the generous portions, relatively high prices compared with other Balkan resorts, and occasionally rough customer service.
