Marea Porto Montenegro
This Porto Montenegro newcomer has slowly but surely managed to fight its way up to become a household name in the local culinary scene of Tivat. The outdoor courtyard with views of the super yacht marina is the perfect spot for dining and people-watching, thanks to its placement right on the promenade.
The admirably sophisticated creations by Executive Chef Elvir are one of Marea’s main temptations, but the other components that make this charming eatery stand out from the competition are appreciated as soon as you walk in the door. With a soothing interior design of contrasting navy blue, earthy tones, and natural wood cladding, it’s entirely comprehensible why Marea is now the restaurant on everyone’s lips.
The menu focuses on nonchalant yet skillful Mediterranean cooking. Tuna Tataki wrapped in sesame and ginger, Truffel Cevapcici, and tomato soup with seafood keep fans returning. The portion sizes are bigger than you would expect from an establishment such as the Marea. It boasts the ideal setting for a ceremonial dinner, while its vibrant ambiance also attracts groups of friends for a fun night out.
Tivat
Welcome to Tivat, a charming coastal town on the Montenegrin Riviera, boasting a luxury marina and a beautiful promenade dotted with cafes, shops, and restaurants.
Porto Montenegro
Porto Montenegro is a super yacht harbor and marina village in the heart of Tivat. Many visit for its renowned culinary scene and designer shopping options.
A well-heeled circle of boaters, locals, and international visitors flocks here but that does not mean that the Marea is not for everyone. With prices a little higher than the average, it’s still not out of reach for the middle class to catch up with friends or business associates. A jazzy playlist and the occasional live saxophonist or DJ add to the conversation-filled air.
For starters, we have the Beef tartare with crispy toast and the octopus carpaccio with fresh arugula. Both entrees shine for their well-balanced flavors, as well as their eclectic mix of textures and well-executed food presentation. The Marea risotto with cuttlefish and prawns is tasty while the salmon in orange sauce is to die for.
The desserts are equally memorable, with the iconic Chou a la creme and the homemade Tiramisu being our favorites. If the delicious sweets and unparalleled position overlooking the super yachts of Porto Montenegro do not guarantee a return visit, the excellent cocktails and extensive wine list surely will.
