Porto has been feeding Budva seafood for long enough to become part of the waterfront furniture, and it occupies the right spot for the job: on the marina, with tables looking over the bay and a live lobster and crab pond by the entrance doing quiet advertising.
The way to order here is the way the regulars do it: ask for the catch of the day. The staff bring the fresh fish to your table so you can look it over and choose, it is priced fairly for what it is, and the kitchen cooks it with the confidence of a place that has done exactly this thousands of times. That ritual is the heart of the restaurant.
The rest of the menu backs it up: fish soup, baby squid, seafood pasta and risotto, with salads, grilled meats and Njeguši prosciutto covering anyone in the party who is not in a fish mood. Portions are generous and the service is attentive in the old-school way, present without hovering.
It sits a short stroll from the Old Town gates, which makes it the natural end to a day of walls and beaches: marina lights, bay view, and a whole fish you picked yourself. Mid-range prices by Budva standards, and worth them.
